NOTES
The CD-GT1 cannot play un nalized CD-
R/RW  discs.  In  addition,  some   nalized 
CD-R/RW  discs  may  be  unplayable  on 
the CD-GT-1.
To  avoid  the  possibility  of  slight  noise 
when  you  use  the  unit  with  the  AC 
adapter, remove the batteries before con-
necting  the  AC  adapter.  If  any  batteries 
are accidentally left in the unit, you should 
always switch the unit off when changing 
between AC adapter and battery power. 
The microphone input is unbalanced. Use 
an  unbalanced  microphone  cable   tted 
with a 1/4” plug. 
Ni-MH batteries may exhibit reduced per-
formance in  an  environment  under  10ºC 
(50F). Also, if these batteries are not used 
for  some  time  after  charging,  they  may 
also exhibit reduced performance. 
The performance of alkaline batteries also 
depends  on  temperature  and  time  since 
manufacture (low  temperatures  and lon-
ger periods mean shorter battery life, re-
gardless of the battery indicator as shown 
on the display). 
Bear this in mind when operating the unit, 
and  use freshly  recharged  Ni-MH  batter-
ies,  new  alkaline  batteries  or  use  an  AC 
adapter if battery life seems inadequate.
