Precautions upon Use
About the power supply
Connect this CD player to the specified power supply. Do
not connect to other power supplies.
When connecting or disconnecting the power cable, hold it
by its plug.
Daily care of the CD player
Do not wipe the CD player’s body with chemical-
impregnated cloth, or a cloth soaked with benzene, paint
thinner or other organic solvent. Doing so might damage the
surface of the CD player’s body. Wipe off stubborn dirt on
the top cover or panels with a soft cloth moistened with a
small amount of diluted neutral detergent.
About condensation
When the CD player (or a compact disc) is moved from a
cold to a warm, heated room (e.g. in winter), or immediately
after heating apparatus in the room where the CD player is
installed is turned ON, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the CD player. This will not only prevent the
CD player from operating normally but also may damage
discs or precision components inside the CD player. If
condensation forms, leave the CD player turned ON for
one or two hours to acclimatize and allow water droplets
to evaporate so that the CD player can operate normally.
Before moving the CD player or when the CD player is not
used, remove the disc.
Handling CDs (compact discs)
This CD player can play back CD-DA format CDs.
Both commercially available audio CDs (120 mm/80 mm)
and normally recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs can also be
used.

z Fingerprints or dust on the recording surface should be
carefully wiped off by wiping in a straight motion from the
inside to the outside of the disc with a soft cloth. Dirt on
discs causes the laser pickup to jump. So, keep discs in
a clean state at all times and store them in their storage
cases.
z Never use record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzene,
paint thinner, or other organic solvents. Chemical
products such as these may damage the surface of the
disc.
z Do not expose discs to the direct sunlight or high
temperature or humidity. Long exposure to high
temperatures may cause them to warp or become
deformed.
z Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen
on the label surface.
z Do not use discs from which cellophane tape or rental
CD stickers have been peeled off, or discs with adhesive
from stickers still sticking to the disc. Leaving discs such
as these in the CD player may prevent the disc from
being removed or cause a malfunction.
