SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
"SOME DOS AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT"
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way -- switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of
traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws -- to ensure complete safety always fit
the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
-- NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case -- this could result in a fatal electrical shock.
-- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind -- it is better to be safe than
sorry!

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards
and Damages
· Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to
STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the
unit is turned on, the display window lights in orange.
When the unit is in standby mode, the display window
turns off. (Note, however, that the display window does
not light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is
operated on batteries.) To save power and for safety
when not using the unit for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the household AC
outlet.
· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
· When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp
and pull the plug, not the power cord.
· Consult your nearest dealer when damage,
disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.
· Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.
· Rating label is placed on the exterior of the bottom.
· Do not modify the power cord in any manner.
· Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do
not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.
· Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.
· Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of
lightning.
· If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord
from the outlet and consult your dealer.
· Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so that
heat can escape.
· Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place.

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit
in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would
be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C.
1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:
· Where the temperature may become excessively
high or low; the recommended temperature range
is 5°C and 35°C.
· Where it could be subject to vibrations.
· Where it is excessively humid, such as in a
bathroom.
· Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or
speaker.
2 Pay attention to dust.
Be sure to close the disc door so that the lens is not
contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.
3 Condensation
Condensation may occur in the following cases, in
which the unit may not operate correctly:
· The unit is in a room where a heater has just been
switched on.
· The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high
humidity.
· The unit has just moved from a cold place to a
warm room.
In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON
and wait one or two hours before use.
4 Volume control
Compact discs produce very little noise compared
with analog records. If you adjust the volume by
listening to the noise as you do with analog records,
the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of
sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down
the volume before starting and adjust it as required
while playing a CD.
5 Safety mechanism
The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism
which switches off the laser beam when the disc door
is opened.
6 Do not place magnetic objects such as
cassette tapes near the speakers.
Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not
place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as
recorded data could be erased.
7 Keep the unit away from the TV.
When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could
be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from
the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid
using the unit when the TV is turned on.
8 Cleaning the cabinet
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage
the surface finish.
9 When listening with headphones
· Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage
your hearing.
· For safety, do not drive while listening with
headphones.
10 Carrying handle
Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the
telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the
antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does
not interfere with operation.
