ÖWhen abnormal operation occurs.
*Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet and remove all the batteries. Then reload the batteries after a few minutes, reconnect the AC power cord and switch the power ON.
1.Avoid installing in the following places
ÖWhere it could be subject to vibrations.
ÖWhere it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.
ÖWhere it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker.
2.Pay attention to dust
Be sure to close the CD door so that dust does not collect on the lens.
3.Condensation
In the following cases, condensation may occur in the unit, in which case the unit may not operate correctly.

4.Volume setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with analog sources. If the volume level is adjusted for these sources, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase of output level. Therefore, lower the volume before operation and adjust it as required during play.
5.Safety mechanism
This unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches the laser beam on and off, so that when the CD door is open, the laser beam stops automatically.
6.Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the speakers
Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not place tapes or magnetic cards on them as recorded data could be erased.
7.Keep this unit away from your TV
When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted. If this happens, move this unit away from the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid using this 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.
