Dear Customer:  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of  
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and  
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries  
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment  
by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without  
annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard  
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without  
distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.  
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer  
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you  
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your  
protection.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Caring for Compact Discs  
Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the  
compact disc 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 disc, it is probably dirty  
or damaged (scratched).  
Z
When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the  
center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc.  
Never wipe in circular motions.  
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo  
as shown here. Other compact discs may not conform to the CD standard and  
may not play properly.  
Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid  
damage.  
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high  
temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can  
warp the compact disc.  
Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing  
instruments, or the ink may damage the surface.  
Cleaning the unit  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power  
source when cleaning.  
The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other  
furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
