1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two

On Safety
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player could be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt
to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

checked by qualified personnel before any further operation.
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 of the laser should be kept clean. Do not touch
the lens. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate correctly.

To Change Battery
ATTENTION
Remove the plastic sheet
before operating the remote
control.
1. Open the battery door.
2. Insert one CR2025 (3V) size battery.
Battery Replacement
When the battery becomes weak, the operating distance of the remote control is greatly
reduced and you will need to replace it.
Note: If the remote control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the battery to
avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.
