Safety Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any
circumstances. Any repair works and internal
adjustments must be conducted by trained
personnel.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed.
• Do not use your unit immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm
place, as condensation may result in
malfunction.
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and
abnormally hot places.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands. If
any liquid enters the cabinet, take the

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 collecting on the pick-up lens, do not
leave the compartment 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
or splashing and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.

sufficient ventilation .

covering the ventilation opening with items,
such as newspaper,table-cloths,curtains,etc.
• No naked flame sources,such as lighted
candles,should be placed on the apparatus.
• Attention should be drawn to the
environmental aspects of battery disposal .

time,

the volume or discontinue use.
• You should use with extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
