On power sources

For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any other type.

The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not be used for an extended period of time.

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
