fingers. Never insert a disc which has a
crack on the surface.
O Do not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
O Keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
Do not store tapes in the following places:
, On top of heaters, exposed to direct sun-
light or in any other places with high
temperatures.
O Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers
or where they would be exposed to
strong magnetic fields.
O Where humidity is high and in dirty,
dusty places.
O Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes
to excessive shocks.
O As C-120 tapes are physically weak and
could become entangled in the transport
mechanism, do not use them.

Handling the Tapes
Read This Before Operating
This unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of compact discs bearing the
"" mark. No other discs can be repro-
duced.
O Always place the compact disc in the
disc tray with the label facing upward.
(Compact discs can be played only on
one side.)
O To remove a disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
O Fingerprints and dust should be careful-
ly wiped off the disc's recorded surface
with a soft cloth.
Wipe radially
O Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they damage the surface of the disc's
plastic surface.
O Discs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
O Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures can
warp the disc.
O Do not stick paper or write anything with
a ballpoint pen on the surface of the
label side.
Handling the Discs
When operating the remote control unit,
point it towards the remote sensor on the
front panel of the unit.
ª Battery installation
1. Remove
the

with their positive and
neg-
ative ­ poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover until it clicks.
Battery replacement
If you notice that the distance between the
remote control unit and the unit for correct
operation becomes shorter, it
indicates
that the batteries are exhaust- ed. In this
case replace the batteries with new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
O Be sure to insert the batteries with
correct positive and negative ­
polarities.
O Use batteries of the same type. Never
use
