Note
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particu-
lar installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television re-
ception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the re-
ceiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying blaring or dis-
tortion 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 “nor-
mal”can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
!Set your volume control at a low setting.
!Slowly increase the sound until you can hear
it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
!Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
!Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
!Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
!Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
About this unit

Handling guidelines
Discs and player
Use only discs that feature either of the following
two logos.
Use 12-cm discs. Do not use 8-cm discs or an
adapter for 8-cm discs.
Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not
use shaped discs.
Do not insert anything other than a CD into the
CD loading slot.
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or other-
wise damaged discs as they may damage the play-
er.
Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs cannot be played
back.
Do not touch the recorded surface of the discs.
Store discs in their cases when not in use.
Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals
to the surface of the discs.
To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth out-
ward from the center.
Condensation may temporarily impair the player’s
performance. Let it rest for about one hour to ad-
just to a warmer temperature. Also, wipe any
damp discs off with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of
disc characteristics, disc format, recorded applica-
tion, playback environment, storage conditions,
and so on.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
When using discs that can be printed on label sur-
faces, check the instructions and the warnings of
the discs. Depending on the discs, inserting and
ejecting may not be possible. Using such discs
may result in damage to this equipment.
Do not attach commercially available labels or
other materials to the discs.
!The discs may warp making the disc unplay-
able.
!The labels may come off during playback and
prevent ejection of the discs, which may result
in damage to the equipment.
USB storage device
Connections via USB hub are not supported.
Do not connect anything other than a USB stor-
age device.

About iPod settings
!When an iPod is connected, this unit changes
the EQ (equalizer) setting of the iPod to off in
order to optimize the acoustics. When you dis-
connect the iPod, the EQ returns to the original
setting.
!You cannot set Repeat to off on the iPod when
using this unit. Repeat is automatically
changed to All when the iPod is connected to
this unit.
Incompatible text saved on the iPod will not be dis-
played by the unit.
DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a record-
able CD for audio on one side and a recordable
DVD for video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically
compatible with the general CD standard, it may
not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may
result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches
can lead to playback problems on this unit. In
some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the
disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this,
we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc
with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc man-
ufacturer for more detailed information about
DualDiscs.
CAUTION
Do not leave discs, a USB storage device, or an
iPod in any place that is subject to high temper-
atures.
