interlock may be defeated allowing the laser to remain on when the lid is opened.
• Should any objects or liquids fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the
unit checked by qualified personnel before any further operation.
On Operation
Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are
recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the
speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens of the laser
should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the
unit will not operate correctly.

etc. If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably,
resulting in malfunctioning of the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, the moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the
unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place
