1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

2. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover. There are no

user serviceable parts inside the unit; leave all servicing to qualified service personnel.

3. CAUTION: Visible and invisible laser radiation when

open and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam.

Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the unit is turned on, the display window lights in blue. When the unit is in standby mode, the display window turns off. (Note, however, that the display window does not light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is operated on batteries.) To save power and for safety when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the household AC outlet.

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

Consult your nearest dealer when damage, disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.

Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.

Rating label is placed on the exterior of the bottom.

Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.

Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of lightning.

If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so that heat can escape.

Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FEATURES 1 Portable system incorporating CD player

CD functions can be operated with the remote control unit as well as on the main unit.

Where the temperature may become excessively high or low; the recommended temperature range is 5°C and 35°C.

Where it could be subject to vibrations.

Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.

Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker. 2 Pay attention to dust. Be sure to close the disc door so that the lens is not contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens. 3 Condensation Condensation may occur in the following cases, in which the unit may not operate correctly:

The unit is in a room where a heater has just been switched on.

The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high humidity.

The unit has just moved from a cold place to a warm room. In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON and wait one or two hours before use. 4 Volume control Compact discs produce very little noise compared with analog records. If you adjust the volume by listening to the noise as you do with analog records, the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down the volume before starting and adjust it as required while playing a CD. 5 Safety mechanism The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches off the laser beam when the disc door is opened. 6 Do not place magnetic objects such as cassette tapes near the speakers. Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as recorded data could be erased. 7 Keep the unit away from the TV. When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid using the unit when the TV is turned on. 8 Cleaning the cabinet If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage the surface finish. 9 When listening with headphones

Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage your hearing.

For safety, do not drive while listening with headphones. 10 Carrying handle Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does not interfere with operation.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

Notes on compact discs This unit has been designed only to play back the following CDs.

Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW) When playing a CD-R or CD-RW You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-RW has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)

You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD format like an audio CD.

Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.

The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time to read. Notes for MP3 files

The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to 20 characters.

This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions: – up to 640 MP3 files, – up to 256 folders (including the root folder), – up to 8th layers (including the root folder).

It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data transfer rate.

Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.

MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

The title, artist name and album name can be displayed as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information. Handling discs Since dirty, damaged or warped discs could damage the unit, care should be taken of the following:

Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.

Do not stick or write anything on the label side.

Do not bend discs. Storage

The previous recording is not completely erased.

Recording is not performed satisfactorily. To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller every 10 hours of use. Open the cassette holder. Clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller. For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at an audio store. After cleaning, make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried completely before loading a cassette. Cautions:

Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the head. If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and the sound will deteriorate.

Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to 30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at an audio store. When demagnetizing the head, the unit should be turned off. As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do not demagnetize it.

Do not use anything other than alcohol for cleaning. Thinner and benzine will damage the rubber pinch roller. Blower Lens Head (recording/playback) Capstan Pinch roller Erasure head 02_01-23_RC-EX30B_E_En.p65 04.5.18, 9:41 PM2122 English TROUBLESHOOTING
