Precautions

Discs that this unit CAN play
Audio CD
CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA*)
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a
recording standard used for Audio CDs.
Discs that this unit CANNOT play
CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format
CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW that
has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an
incompatible recording device
CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
Notes on discs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out. If there is a scratch, dirt or
fingerprints on the CD, it may cause
tracking error.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as
hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there
can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of
the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
On safety
As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the
unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating
it any further.
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot
be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit.
Do not use such discs.
On power sources
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any
other type.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not be used for an
extended period of time.
When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid
damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
On placement
Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock or
in a car subject to the direct rays of the sun.
Do not place the unit on an inclined or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet.
The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the unit to
operate properly and prolong the life of its components.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal
credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches
away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
On operation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is
placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an
hour for the moisture to evaporate.
If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback
mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.
Notes on cassettes
Break off the cassette tab from
side A or B to prevent accidental
recording. If you want to reuse
the tape for recording, cover the
broken tab with adhesive tape.
Tab for side B
Side A
Tab for side A
The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time
is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or
playback.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
