Note on listening with the headphones

• Listen at a moderate volume to avoid

hearing damage.

• Do not wear the headphones while driving

or cycling. It may create a traffic hazard.

• You should use extreme caution or

temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations, such as walking,
jogging, etc.

• Wear them properly; L is left, R is right.
• The in-ear type headphones should be

worn with the longer cord behind your
neck.

Note on condensation

If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
place to a warm one, it may result in
condensation on the pickup lens causing
malfunction or playback difficulties.
Should this occur, leave the unit for a few
hours, then try playback again.

Note on handling MD 

 

A

Since MDs come in a cartridge 

a

 which

protects the discs inside from fingerprints
and dust, you do not have to be overly
careful when handling them.
However, soiled or damaged cartridges
can lead to malfunctions in the unit.
Observe the following tips when handling
MDs.
• Keep the cartridge in the attached case.
• Do not open the shutter 

b

 of the cartridge

to touch the disc 

c

 directly. If the disc

inside becomes soiled, it is very difficult to
clean. The cartridge can also be damaged.

• Close the shutter if it opens while handling

or ejecting a disc. Otherwise dust may
enter or a disc may become scratched.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
detergent solution.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine or thinner.
