pin or a needle, comes into contact with the inside of  
this appliance, a dangerous electric shock may result.  
For families with children, never permit children to  
put anything, especially metal, inside this appliance.  
2. Power-cord protection – Power-supply cords should  
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on  
or pinched by items placed upon or against them,  
pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
appliance.  
Prpasection  
Never pull or stretch  
the cord.  
9. Enclosure removal – Never remove the enclosure.  
If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious  
electric shock might occur.  
3.  
CAUTION  
– Polarization – This appliance may  
beequippedwithapolarizedalternating-currentlineplug(a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will  
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety  
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the  
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to  
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
10.Magnetic fields – Keep the appliance away from  
sources of magnetic fields such as TV sets, speaker  
systems, radios, motorized toys or magnetized  
objects.  
4. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are  
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of

for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line  
surges.  
18.Power lines – An outside antenna system should not be  
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such  
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna  
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from  
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them  
might be fatal.

Sticky paste  
Disc accessories  
Cleaning  
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protec-  
tion ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound  
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should  
not be used with this system because they may cause  
malfunction.  
If fingerprints or foreign matter be-  
come attached to the disc, lightly wipe  
the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or  
similar) from the center of the disc  
outwards in a radial manner.
