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 equip-
ment 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 sensi-
tive 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 dis-
tortion.
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 com-
pact disc only by its edges. Never allow your
fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprint-
ed side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to
the disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use deter-
gents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD clean-
ing kit.
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a sec-
tion 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.
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identifica-
tion logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD stan-
dard 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 fur-
niture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
