CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit

CAUTION

The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source so long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off. To fully insure that the apparatus is indeed
fully void if residual power, leave unit disconnected from the AC outlet for at least fifteen
seconds.

1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.

2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, and too much vibration,
dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do
not expose to rain and water.

3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.

4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.

5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will
cause the internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.

6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.

7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents: this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.

8. Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit
is faulty.

9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the power switch is turned off. We recommend that
you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This will
save electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.

10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord and remove the antenna cable during an electrical
storm.

11. The general digital signals may interfere with other equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the
system farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.

12. When positioning your equipment, especially regarding speakers or other accessories, avoid positioning
them over areas where they can fall and cause injury to yourself and others.

Listening For A Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume
of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your
protection.

Some common decibel ranges:

Level

30
40
50
60
70
80

The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Level

90
100
120
140
180

Quiet library, Soft whispers
Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
