IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source
of the type described in these instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t
fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by
items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the
plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household
AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other
device as this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if
it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit
during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected
to a household AC outlet for extended periods can
cause battery fluid leakage.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these
operating instructions.

Installation
Placement
1. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do
not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and
shock.
2. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment
and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
3. Stacking—Do not place anything on top of this unit.
4. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit
on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near
water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool.
Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such
as radiators. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight with the doors and windows
closed as this may deform the cabinet.
2. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 oC
(41 oF) or rise above 35 oC (95 oF).

Service
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be
serviced by qualified service personnel if:
1. (a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has
been damaged; or
1. (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
1. (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
1. (d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
1. (e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions.
Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing
ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics
as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit
is in proper working condition.

Maintenance
(See page 7 for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before
cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.

The tone sounds when the setting is changed.

≥During program play (page 6), these buttons are
used to skip forward or backward through the programmed sequence of tracks.
≥You cannot skip to tracks that have been played in
random or random repeat play (page 6).
≥During program play, random play, random repeat
play or 1-track repeat play (page 6), search operation is limited to the current track only.

This unit includes a mechanism that extends the
life of the batteries by varying the rotation rate of
the motor. Motor noise may increase when the rate
changes.

If the noise bothers you
Use the AC adaptor to power the unit. The rotation
rate does not change while you are using the AC
adaptor.

Anti-Skip System
This system deals with skipping in a variety
of ways:
≥The thinner and lighter construction makes the unit
less susceptible to vibration.
≥An anti-skip mechanism prevents skipping caused
when play speed changes due to swinging of the unit.
≥A recovery system immediately returns the laser pickup to its original position if it is knocked off the track by
a strong shock.
≥An anti-skip memory (max.48 seconds) fills in interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations.

The anti-skip system works automatically while the
system is on and cannot be canceled.

When bumps continue repeatedly
The elapsed playing time disappears and sound is interrupted.

Note!
≥The anti-skip memory compresses digital signals.
≥While the system is on, 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.

Cautions
Listening caution

EST. 1924

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
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 discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air
type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn
up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around
you.
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:
Leave it there.
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the
headphones, earphones or any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause
rashes or other allergic reactions.

When driving a car
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit
while driving.

Rechargeable /dry cell batteries
≥If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharging, the batteries have reached the end of their service
life. Replace them with the recommended replacements.
≥Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging
batteries for the first time or after they have been unused for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to
normal.

∫ 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 allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.
≥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-circuiting which can cause a fire.
For safety, carry the batteries in the battery carrying
case.

Unit
Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for
long periods of time
≥This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also
cause malfunctioning.
≥As the lid is metallic the cover may become hot.
