Caution of hearing (For U.S.A.)
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.
Level Example
30 dB Quiet library, soft whispers
40 dB Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 dB Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 dB Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 dB Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 dB Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 dB Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 dB Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 dB Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 dB Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 dB Rocket launching pad

Problems?
There are cases where problems that appear to indicate a defect are in fact attribut-
able to other causes. In this event, check the problem against the table below to
ascertain what the trouble is. (There are cases where requests for service owing to
problems attributable to the causes outlined in the table will be charged.)
Maintenance
Simple care
Care of lens
When the lens in the pick-up gets dirty, malfunctions including the
impossibility of playback may occur. The lens should be cleaned
using a commercially available camera lens blower, etc. Do not
touch the lens to prevent damaging the mechanism. Also do not
use a lens cleaner or disc cleaner product.
Care of main unit
When the unit gets dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is stained seriously, a
moistened cloth can be used. Do not use benzine or thinner for these will damage the unit.
Cleaning the plug
Wipe the headphone plug with a soft cloth to keep it clean.
A dirty plug may cause noise or malfunction.
Caution on disc used
Usable discs
8 cm single CDs can be played as they are; do not use a commercially-available single
CD adapter.
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs.
Never play a cracked or warped disc.
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger,
never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter become 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.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time,
remove it from the CD player and store it in its case.
Precaution against condensation
Immediately after a room is heated or in a room with high humidity (or vapor), the unit
may malfunction due to the condensation of dew or mist on the pick-up lens. In such a
case, leave the unit for about an hour before trying to use it again.

Getting the best out of your player
Precautions when using rechargeable batteries
(NB-150 Nickel-Metal Hydrogen rechargeable batteries)
¶
Do not use any rechargeable batteries other than the ones specially required by the
player. Failure to observe this may result in damage.
¶
Nickel-Metal Hydrogen rechargeable batteries are used with the player. Owing to
the characteristics of these batteries, it is necessary to recharge them at least once
every two months even when they have not been used.
¶
It is possible to recharge the batteries approximately 300 times.
¶
Replace the rechargeable batteries when the amount of time they can be used is
minimal even after recharging (use NB-130 batteries sold separately.)
¶
A small amount of current will be consumed even when the power to the player is
switched off. It is therefore recommended that the batteries are removed if the player
will not be used for a long period of time.
¶
Place the rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case supplied when carrying
them around. There is a risk of the positive and negative poles being shorted if they
come into contact with key holders or other metallic objects when carried in a pocket.
The rechargeable batteries have a tendency to become warm when recharged and
during use. This is not a defect.
Ensure that the instruction manual supplied with rechargeable batteries is read thor-
oughly when purchased separately for models that do not include them.
