- moisture or rain.
- mechanical vibration or shock.
- unleveled surface.
Do not place any heavy object on top of the unit.
When the unit is used with a AC power adaptor, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc.
If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in
malfunctioning of the unit or serious accidents.
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 unit. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place for several
hours until the moisture evaporates.
For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subjected to temperatures below 5 C
(41 F) or above 35 C (95 F).

As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Do not put any foreign objects in the safety slot inside the disc compartment. If you do so, the
laser beam may come out when the lid is opened.
Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 6V (external power input) jack.
Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the
unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On operation
Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are
recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so,
the speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens on the disc
table should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do so, the lens may be
damaged and the unit will not operate properly.
On installation
Never install the unit where it would be subjected to:
- heat sources such as radiators or airducts.
- direct sunlight.
- excessive dust.
