IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This CD Changer is made and tested to
meet exacting safety standards. It meets
both UL and FCC requirements and
complies with safety performance
standards of the US Department of Health
and Human Services.

Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your CD changer, and safety is a
major factor in its design. However, safety is also your responsibility.

This section lists important information that will help you properly use and enjoy your CD changer and
accessories. Read all the included safety and operating instructions before using your CD changer, follow
them closely, and retain them for future reference.

Heed Warnings

 — Follow all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.

Cleaning

 — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Attachments

 — Do not use attachments/accessories not recommended by the product manufacturer, as

they might create a hazard.

Water and Moisture

 — Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,

kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).

Accessories

 — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The

product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting, and use a recommended mounting accessory.

Carts

 — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the product/cart to overturn.

Ventilation

 — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure

reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block or cover these
openings, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Do not place the product in a built-in bookcase or rack unless it provides
proper ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.

Power Sources

 — Operate this product using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If

you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your product dealer or local power company.

Polarization

 — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider

than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you
need an extension, use a polarized cord.

Power-Cord Protection

 — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.

Lightning

 — For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

Overloading

 — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Objects and Liquids

 — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.

Servicing

 — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service

 — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.

If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to normal operation.

If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Replacement Parts

 — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety Check

 — Upon completion of service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

Wall or Ceiling Mount

 — The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by

the manufacturer.

Heat

 — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
