DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP

•Refrain from placing any objects on top of the player.

Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be read and the player is prevented from operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.

•This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV set.

•Compact discs have much less noise than analog records and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio components.

•This player is designed to play Super Audio CD and normal music CDs only. It cannot play CD- ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).

•We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
