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, nor 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 sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of 

the CD.

  After playing, store the CD in its case.

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

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.

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.

  If the unit 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.

Notes on cassettes

side A or B to prevent accidental 

recording. If you want to reuse 

the tape for recording, cover the 

broken tab with adhesive tape.
