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.

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

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards
and Damages
· Even when the
(on/off) button is set to the off
position, a very small current will flow. 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.
· 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 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 holder 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
(on/off) button to the on
position 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
holder 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.
