Precautions
Discs that this system CAN play
Audio CD
CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 les)
Discs that this system CANNOT play
CD-ROM
CD-R/CD-RW other than those
recorded in music CD format or MP3
format conforming to ISO9660 Level
1/Level 2, Joliet or multisession
CD-R/CD-RW recorded in
multisession that have not ended by
“closing the session”
CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording
quality, CD-R/CD-RW that have
scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-
RW recorded with an incompatible
recording device
CD-R/CD-RW which is nalized
incorrectly
Discs containing les other than
MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3) les
Discs of non-standard shape (for
example, heart, square, star)
Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or
sticker attached to them
Rental or used discs with attached seals
where the glue extends beyond the seal
Discs that have labels printed using ink
that feels tacky when touched
Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a
cleaning cloth from the center out to
the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such
as benzine thinner, or commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources such as hot air ducts,
nor leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight.
On safety
Completely disconnect the power
cord (mains lead) from the wall socket
(mains) if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid get
into the system, unplug the system, and
have it checked by quali ed personnel
before operating it again.
e AC power cord can be changed
only by a quali ed service facility.
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or
humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight
or a bright light.
Be careful when placing the unit
or speakers on surfaces that have
been specially treated (for example,
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
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 inside the
CD player, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove
the disc, and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during
operation is normal and is not cause
for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been
used continuously at a high volume
because the cabinet may have become
hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system
is speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV
sets may become magnetically distorted.
In this situation, turn o the TV, wait
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the
speakers far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a so cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive

Bluetooth wireless
technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-
range wireless technology linking digital
devices, such as personal computers and
digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can operate the
units involved within a range of about 10
meters.
e Bluetooth wireless technology is
commonly used between two devices,
but a single device can be connected to
multiple devices.
You do not need wires to get connected
as you do with a USB connection, and
you do not need to place the devices face
to face as you do with wireless infrared
technology. You can use the technology
with one Bluetooth device in your bag
or pocket.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a global
standard supported by thousands of
companies. ese companies produce
products that meet the global standard.
Supported Bluetooth version and
pro les
Pro le refers to a standard set of
capabilities for various Bluetooth product
capabilities. is system supports the
following Bluetooth version and pro les.
Supported Bluetooth version:
Bluetooth Standard version 2.0
Supported Bluetooth pro les:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Pro le)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote
Control Pro le)
E ective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed
distance) of each other. e e ective
communication range may become
shorter under the following conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall
or other obstruction is between the
devices with a Bluetooth connection
Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed
Around microwave ovens that are in
use
Locations where other electromagnetic
waves occur
E ects of other devices
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). When using your
Bluetooth device near a device with
wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic
interference may occur. is could result
in lower data transfer rates, noise, or
inability to connect. If this happens, try
the following remedies:
Try connecting this system and
Bluetooth mobile phone or Bluetooth
device when you are at least 10
meters away from the wireless LAN
equipment.
Tur n o the power to the wireless LAN
equipment when using your Bluetooth
device within 10 meters.
