General Information
This system complies with the FCC rules,
Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
– This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
– This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Safety Information
G Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
G Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
G 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.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
G Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
G 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.
G The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

Connect this output to any analog audio
equipment for playback or recording (CD
recorder, tape recorder or amplifier for example).
Use a cinch cable to connect the LINE OUT
terminals to the analog audio in terminals of the
equipment.
CAUTION!
– Remove batteries if they are exhausted
or not to be used for a long time.
– Do not use old and new or different
types of batteries in combination.
Connecting other equipment to your
system
Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals
of a TV,VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or
CD Recorder to the AUX/CDR IN terminals.
– Batteries contain chemical substances, so
they should be disposed off properly.
Notes:
– Do not connect equipment to both the LINE
OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the same time.
Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction
might occur.
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to
the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you
can use a “single to double” cinch cable (still be
mono sound).

Connect this digital output when recording on
any audio equipment with digital input (CD
Recorder, Digital AudioTape [DAT] deck, Digital
to Analog Converter and Digital Signal Processor,
for example). Use a cinch cable to connect the
DIGITAL OUT terminal to the digital input
terminal of the equipment.
