Precautions
On safety/power sources
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• For AC operation, check that the
player’s operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply (see
“Specifications”) and use the supplied
mains lead; do not use any other type.
The voltage selector is located on the
rear of the player .
• The player is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.
• For battery operation, use eight R20
(size D) batteries.
• When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can
be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the rear.
Notes
• To use the player on batteries, disconnect the mains lead from the player.
• Replace the batteries when the OPR/BATT indicator dims or when the

the side of the cabinet. The ventilation
holes must be unobstructed for the
