230-volt AC current. Connection to a line volt-
age other than that for which it is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard, and may
damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

aged power cords should be replaced immedi-
ately by an authorized service depot with cords
meeting factory specifications.

nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tion. However, there is no guarantee that harm-
ful interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new CD changer during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration.We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it.This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and
collapsing the carton down to a more two-
dimensional appearance. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner. Pack-
ing materials that cannot be collapsed should be
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materi-
als, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
