Handling of compact discs
Observe the following:
disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no ef-
fect on reproduction quality.
Only use circular compact discs.
Avoid using noncircular promo-
tional, etc. discs.
Always place compact discs in the
tray with their label facing upward
(compact discs can only be played
on one side).
To remove a disc from its storage
case, press down on the center
of the case, and lift the disc out,
holding it carefully by the edges.
To keep the laser pickups clean, do
not touch them. For the same rea-
son, do not leave the disc tray open
unnecessarily.
e CD-BT1MKII cannot play
unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. In
addition, some finalized CD-R/
RW discs may be unplayable on
the CD-BT1MKII.
Never use such chemicals as re-
cord sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the
disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be returned to their
cases after use to avoid serious
scratches that could cause the la-
ser pickup to “skip”.
Don’t expose discs to direct sun-
light or high humidity and tem-
perature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high tempera-
ture can warp the disc.
Finger marks and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc’s re-
corded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the
compact disc has no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic de-
bris, so gently wiping with a soft
cloth should remove most parti-
cles.
Wipe in a straight motion from
the inside to the outside of the

Ni-MH batteries: Approx. 4.5 hours
If a battery leaks in the compart-
ment, wipe the liquid away com-
pletely with a disposable cloth.
Make certain no residue remains
before inserting new batteries.
Alkaline batteries: Approx. 1.5 hours

WARNING
While using battery power, the CD
player and CD functions of the CD-
BT1MKII shut down automatically if

jack at the back of the CD-BT1MKII.
Unplug the AC adapter from the domestic
AC power outlet when you are not using the
CD-BT1MKII.
Insert the plug of the AC adapter into
a domestic AC power outlet. Make
sure that the voltage of the outlet corre-
sponds to that marked on the adapter.
CAUTION
Because the CD-BT1MKII is equipped with
special functions such as key change and
effects, the battery life is shorter compared
with standard portable CD players.
Settings may not be properly saved if you
turn the power off immediately after insert-
ing a CD or changing settings. If settings are
not saved properly, the system may not start
with the last settings and instead will start
using the default values.

The length of battery life in CD-BT1MKII is
affected by both the environment and the
number of functions in use. Factors that af-
fect battery life include temperature, humid-
ity, the number of special functions used, and
so on.
Switching the unit on and off
Use the POWER switch to turn the
power to the whole unit on and off.

Under some circumstances, there may not be
enough power in the batteries to power the
CD-BT1MKII, despite the battery power indi-
cation on the display. If this happens, change
the batteries, or use an AC adapter.
WARNING
Use only a PS-PS5 AC adapter with your CD-
BT1MKII. Using another type of AC adapter
may damage your CD-BT1MKII.
N
Always dispose of used batteries as recom-
mended by your local authorities.
Remove the batteries before operating the
CD-BT1MKII with an AC adapter. There is a
possibility of slight noise if you use the unit
