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.

1
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

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

the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you  
can use a single to doublecinch cable (still be  
mono sound).
