Using the unit with an audio
system
Use a stereo phono cable (analogue) or optical cable
(digital) to connect to your audio system.
≥
Turn off this unit and the other equipment before con-
nection.
≥
Do not connect the cable to the PHONO jacks on the
amplifier.
≥
Obtain the optional phono cable if the other equipment
comes with mini-phone jacks.
≥
Adjust the volume on the other equipment. You cannot
adjust the volume with this unit when a cable is con-
nected to [OPT OUT/OUT] jack.
Note
!
≥
If you have connected a cable to the [OPT OUT/OUT]
jack, sound quality changes are ineffective and sound
will not be output through the stereo earphones.
≥
When using an optical cable, use the AC adaptor
whenever possible. Optical output consumes a lot of
power and can dramatically reduce the life of your bat-
teries.
≥
You can connect speakers, active or otherwise, with
an impedance of 1 k
≠
or less to the headphone jacks.
Using the unit with a car audio
system
Items to be purchased
For connection to the car audio system:
Car stereo cassette adaptor (SH-CDM10A)
For securing the unit and connecting the power
supply:
Car adaptor (SH-CDC9)
Note
!
≥
When you switch off the car, volume and sound quality
may return to the original settings and the resume
function may work even if you change the disc.
≥
It may not be possible to use the unit with some types
of car stereos owing to restrictions imposed by the
construction of the car stereo cassette adaptor.
For further details, refer to the instructions of the part
concerned.

Unit
No altering or remodeling
This can cause malfunctioning.
No dropping or strong impacts
This may damage the unit.
Locations to be avoided
Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they
can cause malfunctioning.
1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places
2. Warehouses and other dusty places
3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.
Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for
long periods of time
≥
This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also
cause malfunctioning.
≥
As the lid is metallic the cover may become hot.
Cautions
Rechargeable /dry cell batteries
≥
If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg-
ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service
life. Replace them with the recommended replace-
ments.
≥
Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging
batteries for the first time or after they have been un-
used for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and dis-
charge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to
normal.
∫
Care
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and
short-circuiting, heed the following points.
≥
Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not
use if the covering has been peeled off.
≥
Align the poles
+
and
-
correctly when inserting the
batteries.
≥
Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new
batteries.
≥
Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the
unit for a long time.
≥
Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or
subject to excessive heat.
≥
Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥
Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery termi-
nals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dan-
gerous.
≥
When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no
metal objects such as necklaces are placed together
with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuit-
ing which can cause a fire. For safety, carry the
rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.
Precautions for Listening with the
Headphones or Earphones
≥
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous
extended play.
≥
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce vol-
ume or discontinue use.
≥
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
≥
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discon-
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
≥
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-
air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t
turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s
around you.
≥
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the
headphones or earphones. Continued use may cause
rashes or other allergic reactions.
When driving a car
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit
