ENGLISH
The CD player uses a microcomputer for controlling internal
electronic circuits. In the event that the player is used while a
near-by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference
could occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of
the TV. To avoid this, please take the following precautions.
• Keep the CD player as far away from the tuner or TV set as
possible.
• Keep the power cord and connecting cords of the CD player
separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
• Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor
antenna or a 300 Ω/ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an
outdoor antenna and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cable is strongly
recommended.

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
CAUTIONS DURING USE
• This compact disc player is capable of playing
discs which have the mark at right.
• During track selection, during search and
when the player sustains a strong impact, the
disc’s rotational speed changes greatly,
causing a small noise to be emitted. This is
not a malfunction of the player.
• If the CD player is operated while an FM or AM broadcast is
being received, there may be noise in the FM or AM reception.
Please switch the power to the CD player off at such times.
• The DCM-5000 has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise
caution when turning up the volume on the amplifier in cases
when the playback volume is low. If the volume is turned up
too high, it could damage the speakers.
C
• Do not use any discs but exclusive audio discs with this CD
player.
• Placing this player or its connection cords near a TV or other
audio device could cause a humming sound to be emitted. if
this occurs, relocate the player or reroute the connection
cords.
• Be sure to remove the disc from the player before moving it.
The discs could be damaged if left in the player while it is
being moved.
• Do not move the player from a cold place to a warm place
suddenly. If the player is cold when brought into a warm room,
condensation could form, preventing proper operation of the
player. If condensation does form on the player when it is
brought into a warm room, wait at least 30 minutes before
use.

About Disc Files
With disc files, disc titles, artists’ names and track titles can be given for individual CDs and the discs can be categorized in groups.
Each disc can be labeled up to 30 tracks. Titles can have up to 16 characters.
Disc files are stored in the memory even when the power is off.
NOTES:
• Disc files are stored for the discs’ slit numbers, so they remain in the memory even when the CDs have been replaced. Before
replacing CDs, erase all the disc files one by one in order, then create new disc files for the new CDs.
• CD Text discs have various types of text information (disc title, artist name, etc.) stored on them. This information is automatically
stored in a disc file when the CD is played, and cannot be changed. CD Text discs can however be registered in groups like other
CDs.
• It is not possible to set the disc file writing mode while in the multi-zone or random mode.

The accessory RC-272 remote control unit can be used to control
the CD player from a convenient distance.
Load batteries in the remote control unit before using it.
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of remote control unit.
2. Insert two R6P (standard size AA) dry cell batteries with
correct polarity as indicated inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Notes on the Batteries
• The remote control unit uses standard size AA dry cell
batteries.
• The batteries will need to be replaced approximately once a
year. Replacement may be necessary earlier depending on
how much the remote control unit is used.
• If, in less than a year from the time new batteries were
inserted, the remote control fail to operate the CD player from
a near-by position, it is time to replace the batteries.
• Insert the batteries properly, following the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment, in other words make sure (+)
and (–) terminals are properly aligned.
• Batteries are prone to damage and leakage.
Therefore:
• Do not combine new batteries with used ones.
• Do not combine different types of batteries.
• Do not jumper opposite poles of the batteries, expose them
to heat, break them open nor expose of them in open fire.
• If the remote control unit is not to be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries from the unit.
• If the batteries have leaked, remove any traces of battery fluid
from the battery compartment, wiping thoroughly with a dry
cloth. Then insert new batteries.
• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it towards the
remote control sensor on the CD player (see below).
• The remote control unit can be used at a distance up to 8
meters in a straight line from the CD player. This distance
decreases if there are obstructions blocking the signal path or
when the remote control unit is operated at an angle from the
remote control sensor.
• The buttons on the remote control unit have identical functions
with those on the CD player.
However, the following functions cannot be remote controlled:
Power ON/OFF.
Notes on Operation
• Do not press identical buttons on the CD player and remote
control unit simultaneously as this may cause malfunction.
• The remote control unit may be difficult to operate if the
remote control sensor is exposed to strong light, such as
direct sunlight or light from fluorescent lamp, or if these are
obstacles between the remote control unit and the sensor.
