Safety Precautions

• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances.
Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made
only by a trained technician.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed.
•Do not use your System immediately after transport-
ing it from a cold place to a warm place, as condensa-
tion may cause the system to malfunction.
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and abnor-
mally hot places.
• Do not touch the player with wet hands.  If any liq-
uid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a
trained technician for inspection.
• This compact disc player uses a laser to read the
music on the disc.  The laser mechanism corresponds
to the cartridge and stylus of a record player.
Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up
lens, it is completely safe when operated according to
directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player.  Do not
use damaged, warped, or cracked discs.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located
inside the disc compartment. To keep dust from col-
lecting on the pick-up lens, do not leave the compart-
ment door open for an extended period of time.  If
the lens becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or
use an air blower brush designed for camera lenses.
•  The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping and
splashing.
