FCC 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.

PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

  • Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit.
  • Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.
  • We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure way to protect the unit from damage in transit.
  • If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly. Emerson cares about our environment.

POWER SOURCE

This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC house current. Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty. You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet.

AC Outlet AC Plug

You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

AC OPERATION

  1. Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.
  2. Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

DISC ERRORS

  • This compact disc player has built-in error compensation circuits to correct for minor defects in a disc. There are limits, however, to the amount of correction available.
  • In some cases, the CD player may skip some tracks, or parts of tracks, on a disc during disc play. This problem may be caused by defects (such as scratches) in the disc being played, which are too large for the error compensation circuits to handle. If you encounter this problem, check the CD player's operation as follows, before having the unit serviced:

Play a new disc. If the CD player operates normally, the skipping problem is probably due to a defective disc.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

COMPACT DISC CARE

- To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.

Emerson ES8 - COMPACT DISC CARE - 1

  • Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
  • Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
  • Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.

BENZENE CLEAHER

CARE OF THE CABINETS

  • If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.
  • If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.

CAUTION:

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
