Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the CD
with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
CD from the center out. If there
is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause tracking
error.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch
the surface of the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do
so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
• For AC operation, check that the unit’s operating
voltage is identical with your local power supply (see
“Specifications”) and use the supplied AC power cord;
do not use any other type.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not be
used for an extended period of time.

an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
• If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in
the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes
before inserting a cassette.
Notes on cassettes
• Break off the cassette
tab from side A or B
to prevent accidental
