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 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.  
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.  
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  
compact compact disc only by its edges. Never  
allow your fingers to come in contact with the  
shiny, unprinted side of the compact compact  
disc.  
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact disc label.  
Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use  
detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a  
CD cleaning kit.  
If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section 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.  
Z

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  
furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
