on Safety
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player could be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt
to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the disc compartment. If you do so, the laser beam interlock
may be defeated allowing the laser to remain on when the lid is opened.
• Should any objects or liquids fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the unit
checked by qualified personnel before any further operation.
on operation
Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are recorded
with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while listening to a part of
the disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the speakers may be damaged
when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens of the laser should be kept clean. Do not touch
the lens. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate correctly.

• when the unit is used with an AC power plug, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc.
If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in
malfunctioning of the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
the moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place for several hours
until the moisture evaporates.
