Precautions

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 player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Cleaning the cabinet

•For battery operation, use six size D (R20) batteries.

•When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a

location near heat sources, or in a

place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or mechanical

shock.

On operation

•If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

•If the player 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.
