CD PREVENTIVE CARE
No!
• Compact discs are not affected by small particles of
dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so
they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry
cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight
outward from the center.
• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type
of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid,
or any other chemical-based liquid, because such
substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature
or high humidity for a long period of time, because
these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
• This compact disc player is designed for use with
following types of disc only. Never attempt to load any
other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play
8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.
• Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by
reliable manufacturers.
• Some discs cannot be played depending on the disc
characteristics or recording conditions (copyright-
protected in a particular way, etc.).
• Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play,
but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being
handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.
• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these
could damage the unit.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit
• Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.)
available on the market, because it may damage the
unit.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because
damage to the unit may result.

Remote control
This remote control controls a whole system: not only
RX-E400 but also CDX-E400. Moreover, a cassette deck
(KX-E300) and MD recorder (MDX-E300) that level up
your system can be operated by it. Operating buttons for
each unit are explained on the pages below:
Receiver, RX-E400: p.8
CD player, CDX-E400: p.18
Cassette deck, KX-E300: p.23
MD recorder, MDX-E300: p.23
Battery installation
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert batteries into the battery compartment.
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
Battery replacement
If you find that the remote control must be used closer to
the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace
batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for
an extended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching
the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing,
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
installing new batteries.
Remote control operation range
Notes
• There should be no large obstacles between the remote control
and the main unit.
• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.),
it might cause the remote control not to work correctly. In this
case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
Removing the protection sheet
The remote control is shipped with a protection sheet to
prevent the surface from being scratched during
transportation.
When removing the sheet, first put adhesive tape on an
edge of the remote control so that the tape sticks to the
sheet. Then peel the sheet off with the tape.
Note
• Do not scratch the remote control surface when peeling the
sheet off.
