voltage of your local power supply. If not, please  
consult your dealer.  
Note:  
– To fully enjoy the progressive scan feature, you

General Information  
Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in  
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)  
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit  
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.  
The lens may cloud over when the player is  
suddenly moved from cold to warm  
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.  
Leave the player in the warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with items,  
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.  
Hearing Safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to  
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources  
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
Using headphones at a high volume can impair  
your hearing. This product can produce sounds  
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for  
a normal person, even for exposure less than a  
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered  
for those that may have already experienced  
some hearing loss.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,  
should be placed on the apparatus.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall  
be placed on the apparatus.  
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a  
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc  
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD  
player would not operate normally. Leave the  
power on for about one hour with no disc in the  
system until normal playback is possible.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds  
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to  
your hearing. To guard against this, set your  
volume to a safe level before your hearing  
adapts and leave it there.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed)  
shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as  
sunshine, fire or the like.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.  
When the system is switched to Standby  
mode, it is still consuming some power.  
To disconnect the system from the  
power supply completely, remove the AC  
power plug from the wall socket.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally  
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and  
take appropriate breaks.  
Maintenance  
Be sure to observe the following  
When a disc becomes dirty,  
clean it with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center  
out, in a straight line.  
guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable  
periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your  
hearing adapts.  
Do not expose the player,  
batteries or discs to humidity,  
rain, sand or excessive heat  
(caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).  
Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust  
on the lens.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you  
can't hear what's around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for colour discs.  
Do not use headphones while operating a  
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it  
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas.

System.  
IMPORTANT!  
The type plate is located on the bottom  
of the system.  
Notes:  
– For optimal sound performance, use the  
supplied speakers.  
To avoid overheating of the system, a  
safety circuit has been built in. Therefore,  
your system may switch to Standby  
mode automatically under extreme  
conditions. If this happens, let the system  
cool down before reusing it.  
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any  
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.  
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance  
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to  
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
