shown on the right after turning off the amplifier.

Listening to MDs with a car audio system
You can listen to MDs through your car audio system. The following options are available for your car audio system.
• Car adaptor (CA-R553)
• Car audio cassette adaptor
CAUTION:
Before connecting the car adaptor, remove the rechargeable battery from the unit. Also remove the battery case.
• Connect the car adaptor to the DC input jack as
shown on the right.
• Connect the car audio cassette adaptor between the
remote control and the cassette slot of your car au-
dio system.
• Adjust the volume level of the unit to an appropri-
ate level.
Notes
• Since the insertion direction of the car audio cassette adaptor is limited, be sure whether it can be inserted into the
cassette slot of your car audio system.
• Depending on the vehicle used, noise may occur. In this case, it is recommended to connect a noise filter available
on the market between the remote control and car audio cassette adaptor.
• If your car audio system is equipped with a LINE IN or AUX IN jack, you can connect the output of the remote
control to the jack using a stereo mini plug signal cord (not supplied). In this case, you do not need the optional
car audio cassette adaptor.
Cautions
Batteries
• Before replacing batteries, always turn off the unit.
Rechargeable lithium–ion battery (BN-R3610):
• Use only the rechargeable battery (BN-R3610) supplied with the unit.
• If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the battery’s service
life is over. Do not use it any more.
• Recharging already charged battery will shorten its service life.
• When recharging battery for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of time, the play time
may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the battery. This will restore it to
its regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable battery since this may cause short-circuiting
which is dangerous.
• Recharging shall be made at the temperature from 0°C to 40°C.
Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.
• Align the
ª
and
·
polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
