Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at
a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•
•
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
•
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for
your protection.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for Compact Discs
•
Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact
disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to
come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the
compact disc.
•
•
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the
compact disc label.
Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-
free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact
disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or
damaged (scratched).
When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the
compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
•
•
•
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the
identification logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to
the CD standard and may not play properly.
•
•
Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to
avoid damage.
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or
dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact
disc.
Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing
instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.
•
Cleaning the Unit
•
•
•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC adapter when
cleaning.
The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other
furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
