one edge and the hole.

•Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.

•Do not scratch or damage the label. Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player.

•Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning discs

• Dirty discs can cause poor

sound and visual quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from

the inner edge toward the outer perimeter. Never wipe the disc in a circular motion since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface

Disc lens care

•When your disc lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound and visual quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a disc lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound and visual quality of your system. For instructions on cleaning the disc lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.

Important battery information

•Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not use your remote control for more than one month.

•Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries may cause skin burns or other personal injuries.

•Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to provincial and local regulations.

•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Safety precautions

•Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a trained technician.

•Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.

•Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained tech- nician for inspection.

•This player uses a laser to read the data on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated according to directions.

If the lens becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air blower brush designed for camera lenses.

•You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontin- ue use in potentially hazardous situations.

•Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you are unable to hear what is around you.
