PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

CAUTIONS

• To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• Install your unit in good ventilation, a cool, dry,

clean place – away from windows, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.

• Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may

overheat, possibly causing damage.

• Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the

set, contact your dealer.

• Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.

• When not planning to use this unit for long periods

of time (i.e.., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

• Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be

taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.

• Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this

might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

• Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING”

section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.

• Do not place another component on top of this unit,

as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may result.

• To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the

power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.

• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall

outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

• Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall outlet

before you finish all connections.

• The voltage to be used must be the same as that

specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

• Sudden temperature changes and storage or

operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

CAUTION FOR CARRYING THE UNIT

Before carrying the unit, first remove a disc from the unit, press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.

THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES-003.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

DANGER

Invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This compact disc player is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT label is located on the rear exterior. (U.K., Europe, Singapore, and General models only.)

Notes

• There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter 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 transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

B attery replac ement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Use only AAA batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter 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.

Note

• This manual describes how to operate this unit by using the remote control transmitter mainly. To operate the unit from the front panel, use the corresponding buttons on the front panel (see page 3).
