SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INFORMATION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment 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.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
LASER SAFETY: This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel should attempt to service
this device due to possible eye injury.
CAUTION: USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE PROCEDURE HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
FCC WARNING:
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment
may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual.
The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is
made.
PREPARATION FOR USE
AC Operation
Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of the AC power cord into the
AC socket on the back cabinet of the unit. Insert the other end of the AC power cord into any convenient
120V 60Hz household outlet.
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC
plug which has one blade wider than the other. This is a
safety feature to reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This
polarized AC plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. If you
find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you
may have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not
try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized
adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your
outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet.

only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact
with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact
disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry
cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean
the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
