•Accessories–Do not place your player on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. Your player may fall, causing serious injury to someone and serious damage to your player. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with your player.
If you mount your player, follow the manufacturer's instructions and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the
manufacturer. Move a player and cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your player and cart combination to overturn.
•Ventilation–Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your player and to protect it from overheating. Do not block openings. Do not place your player on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Your player should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place your player in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless correct ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
•Power sources–Use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your player dealer or local power company. For players intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
•Grounding or polarization–Your player is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
•Power cord protection–Routepower-supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your player.
•Lightning–For added protection for your player during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to your player due to lightning and power-line surges.
•Power lines–An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, do not touch power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.
•Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
•Object and liquid entry–Never push objects of any kind into your player through openings because they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your player.
•Servicing–Do not attempt to service your player yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•Damage requiring service–Unplug your player from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into your player.
•If your player has been exposed to rain or water.
•If your player does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your player to its normal operation.
•If your player has been dropped or damaged in any way.
•When your player exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
•Replacement parts–When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or other hazards.
•Safety check–Upon completion of any service or repairs to your player, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your player is in correct operating condition.
•Heat–Place your player away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Caution
Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with your local regulations concerning chemical wastes.
Warning
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of plug to the wide slot in the power outlet and fully insert the plug.
•End-of-life disposal–This symbol on the product or in the instructions means that your electrical and electronic equipment should be disposed at the end of its life
separately from your household waste. There are separate collection systems for recycling
