with

On safety

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.

Notes

• The unit is not disconnected
from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned
off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if
it is not to be used for an extended
period of time.
To disconnect the cord (mains lead}, pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component,
unplug the stereo system and have
the component
checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
• When you connect the mains lead to mains, even
though the power is off, the system begins
charging for remote aM timer functions.
Therefore the surface of this unit become warm,
this is normal.

• Do not apply MD disc labels over the shutter or in

locations. Always apply the
label in the space allocated on the disc. Because
the size and shape of the label may differ
depending
on the manufacturer,
be sure to use the
labdls supplied with the disc.
