Preca utions  
Before using this unit, be sure to read the applicable  
items of the operating instructions and these safety sug-  
gestions carefully.  
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference. Take  
special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit  
itself as well as in the operating instructions.  
5. Batteries—If the set is not used for a long period of  
time or is used only from an AC power source, re-  
move all the batteries to prevent potential damage  
due to possible battery leakage. Do not mix batteries  
(old and new) or different types of batteries.  
Ma in te n a n ce  
(See page 5 for details.)  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder  
or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.  
In sta lla tio n

Environment  
1. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit near  
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to  
power supply only of the type described in the oper-  
ating instructions or as marked on the unit. Use only  
the AC adaptor or car adaptor described in the oper-  
ating instructions when recharging.  
2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized  
AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one  
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to in-  
sert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not de-  
feat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
3. Care of AC adaptor—Take care that the cord of the  
AC adaptor should be routed so that they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed  
upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC  
adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the  
plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.  
Se rvice

a
bathtub, washbowl,  
swimming pool, or the like. Damp basements should  
also be avoided.  
2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in  
the following conditions...  
2. immediately after a heater has been turned on.  
2. in a steamy or very humid room.  
2. when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold envi-  
ronment to a warm one. If moisture forms inside  
this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this  
problem wait about one hour for the moisture to  
evaporate.  
3. Heat—Never use or place this unit near a heat  
source. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to  
direct sunlight for a long time with the doors and win-  
dows closed as this may deform the cabinet.  
1. Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be  
serviced by qualified service personnel when:  
1. (a) The AC adaptor is damaged; or  
1. (b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled  
into the unit; or  
1. (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or  
1. (d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or  
exhibits a marked change in performance; or  
1. (e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure  
damaged.  
2. Servicing—The user should not attempt to service  
the unit beyond that described in the operating in-  
structions. All other servicing should be referred to  
an authorized service personnel.

less susceptible to vibration.  
Wait until the jogger indicator appears before starting to  
jog.  
The anti-skip setting can be changed during play, but  
this may cause a slight interruption in the sound be-  
cause the discs rotational speed changes.  
During anti-skip operation, the disc rotates at a higher  
rate than usual in collecting extra audio data. This  
could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.  
An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused  
when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.  
A recovery system immediately returns the laser pick-  
up to its original position if it is knocked off the track by  
a strong shock.

This unit is splash-proof and is not designed to be used  
under water.  
Please note the following points to avoid possible dam-  
age to the unit and the included headphones.  
Do not immerse in water.  
Do not wear the headphones with the VMSS unit to  
the front.  
Do not allow children or people who are unwell or  
not in full control of their faculties to wear these  
headphones.  
If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg-  
ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service  
life. Replace them with the recommended replace-  
ments.  
Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging  
batteries for the first time or after they have been un-  
used for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and dis-  
charge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to  
normal.  
Do not splash water onto the unit.  
If you feel nauseous while using the headphones,  
discontinue use immediately.  
Water in the headphones jack, OUT jack, and DC  
IN jack may damage the unit. Cover them with the  
attached rubber caps when they are not in use.  
To prevent water from entering the unit, the dual  
locks should be locked to close the disc lid.  
If the unit or the headphones get wet with water or  
sweat, dry them with a soft cloth.  
Liste n in g ca u tio n  
EST. 1924  
Do not open the disc lid near water or sand. Before  
opening or closing the disc lid, be sure to wipe off  
water, dust or sand on the unit and operate with a dry  
hand.  
Care  
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and  
short-circuiting, heed the following points.  
Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not  
use if the covering has been peeled off.  
Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the  
batteries.  
Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old  
and new batteries.  
Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the  
unit for a long time.  
Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or  
subject to excessive heat.  
Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.  
Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery termi-  
nals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dan-  
gerous.  
When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no  
metal objects such as necklaces are placed together  
with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuit-  
ing which can cause a fire. For safety, carry the  
rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.  
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high  
volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous  
extended play.  
Make sure there is no sand or dust around the disc lid.  
The disc lid will not seal properly if there is, and water  
may get into the unit, possibly causing a malfunction.  
Do not expose the unit or the headphones to salt  
water. If the unit and headphones are immersed in salt  
water, wash them with a little fresh water then dry with  
soft cloth. Never wash them under running water.  
Do not place the unit and the headphones for a long  
period of time in high temperature and high humidity  
areas such as bathrooms or damp basements, etc.  
The dual locks may freeze in low temperatures. Allow  
the unit to return to the operational temperature range  
(0 eC40 eC, 32 eF104 eF) before opening the dual  
locks.  
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce vol-  
ume or discontinue use.  
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It  
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas.  
You should use extreme caution or temporarily dis-  
continue use in potentially hazardous situations.  
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-  
air type designed to let you hear outside sounds,  
dont turn up the volume so high that you cant hear  
whats around you.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
comfort leveladapts to higher volumes of sound. So  
what sounds normalcan actually be loud and harm-  
ful to your hearing.  
Se le ctio n a n d ca re o f  
re ch a rg e a b le / d ry ce ll b a tte rie s  
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 com-  
fortably and clearly, and without distortion.

while driving.
