CAUTION!

THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE. DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR YOURSELF. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN, MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE PLACED ON THE APPARATUS.

CAUTION!

DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.

Listening caution

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.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

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.

The following mark and symbols are located on bottom of the unit.

Glossary

-SD Audio

An audio standard for SD Memory Cards. An encryption technology is used in order to protect copyrights and the legal rights of the consumer as well as help develop a healthy music culture. There are restrictions upon the copying of data etc. Use an application like SD-Jukebox etc. for creating data.

- Cue

Used to begin play. On this unit the cue point is used to store the beginning of a track or an arbitrary point of a track to memory and then to instantly begin play from this point.

- Platter slip surface

The rotatable surface on an analog turntable which you place a record. Although this unit is a digital turntable, play functionality is the same as when operating a platter slip surface on an analog turntable.

- MP3 album

When creating multiple MP3 files on a computer and writing to a CD-ROM, you can organize the files using folders. These folders are called albums on this unit. When you want to play tracks in sequential order on this unit, use numbers like 001 and 002 etc. for naming the albums. (→ Page 22)

AAC

A compression standard that makes recording and play of high quality audio possible including MPEG2 (an international standard). Used in SD Audio and broadcast satellite digital signals.

MP3

MP3 is the abbreviated form of the international standard MPEG1/ Audio Layer3. MP3 allows you to achieve approximately ten to one compression rates with bit rates of 128 kbps. MP3 is used widely with SD Audio, CDs, and computers.

Sampling frequency

The number of samples taken approximately each second when an audio signal is digitally converted and stored in memory. The higher the value the wider the frequency range can be used for digital conversion thus providing near original audio quality reproduction, however the resulting size of the audio data does become quite large.

Bit rate

A value that indicates the audio signal compression rate. Indicates the number of bits sampled approximately each second, the larger the bit value the more information is contained resulting in better audio quality, however the size of the audio data does become quite large.

Handling SD Memory Cards

When handling SD Memory Cards

Avoid the following:

• Altering or disassembling the SD Memory Card
• Striking, bending, dropping, or getting water on the SD Memory Card
• Touching the metal connectors with your fingers or with metal objects
