CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES

This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following precautions when using batteries.

Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.

When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install them correctly in the battery compartment as indicated. Putting them in backward could make the batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.

When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals with insulation tape or something like that to prevent them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.

When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the local disposal laws.

Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix and use new and old batteries or different types of batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.

Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or other trouble.

Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.

If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery case before inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean water and then consult a doctor immediately.

The unit power should be off when you install and replace batteries.

Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment before inserting new batteries.

Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the battery could harm skin or clothing.

For European Customers

c)Improper disposal of waste electrical/electronic equipment and batteries/accumulators can have serious effects on the environment and human health because of the presence of hazardous substances in the equipment.

d)The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) symbols, which show wheeled bins that have been crossed out, indicate that electrical/electronic equipment and batteries/accumulators must be collected and disposed of separately from household waste.

If a battery or accumulator contains more than the specified values of lead (Pb) and/or cadmium (Cd) as defined in the Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, then the chemical symbols for those elements will be indicated beneath the WEEE symbol.

e)Return and collection systems are available to end users. For more detailed information about the disposal of old electrical/electronic equipment and waste batteries/accumulators, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the equipment.

Precautions for use

SD cards and USB flash drives are delicate media.

In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives, please take the following precautions when handling them.

Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.

Do not leave them in extremely humid places.

Do not let them get wet.

Do not put things on top of them or twist them.

Do not hit them.

Do not remove or insert them during playback, data transmission or other access.

When transporting them, put them into cases, for example.

Handling discs

Load discs with their recorded sides down.

Load discs when the disc tray is completely open.

Align discs with the tray guide and place them so they are level.

Do not touch the recorded (unlabeled) side. Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during playback.

If fingerprints or dust adhere to the recorded side of a disc, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.

Dirt on discs can lower video and sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean discs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause discs to become unplayable.

Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use discs that have glue or sticky residue from having had tape, stickers or other materials applied to their surface. Such discs could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction.

Never use commercially-available disc stabilizers. Using stabilizers with this player could prevent playback or damage the unit.

Do not use cracked discs.

Do not use discs that are irregularly shaped, including discs shaped like hearts, business cards and octagons because using such discs could cause the unit to malfunction.

Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record companies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the unit.

ATTENTION

Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs at the same time could cause malfunction and damage the discs.

Do not push the disc tray in when the power is in standby. Doing so could cause malfunction.

NOTE

If a disc that cannot be played back or a disc that is upside down is loaded in the unit, “UNK DISC” will appear on the display.
