Precautions

Discs that this unit CAN play

•  Audio CD
•  CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA

*

/MP3 files)

*

 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 or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 

1/Level 2 or Joliet

•  CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW  

that has scratches or is 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, or 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 a sticker on the CD, or 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, check that the unit’s operating 

voltage is identical with your local power supply 

(see 

Specifications

) and 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.

•  If 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.

•  The design of the carrying handle prohibits you from 

lifting it forcibly while the CD compartment is open.

Carrying handle

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.
