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 modications to this equipment  
may cause harmful interference unless the modications are expressly approved in the instruction manual.  
The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modication 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.

Hints for Better Reception  
FM - Make sure that the FM Wire Antenna is extended to its full length. You may have to vary the direction  
of the antenna to find the strongest signal for each FM station.  
AM - The AM ferrite bar antenna is located inside the unit. It may be necessary to turn the unit slightly so  
that the internal antenna is pointing in the direction of the AM transmitter. You may have to experiment to  
find the position that provides the strongest reception for each of your favorite AM stations.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Caring for Compact Discs  
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc  
only by its edges. Never allow your ngers 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).  
• 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.  
Z
COMPACT  
• 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.  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
• 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.
