Precautions
Additional Information
On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD
player section is harmful to the eyes,
do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
• For AC operation, use the supplied
AC power adaptor (AC-E700); do not
use any other type.
• The player is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been
turned off.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet
when it is not be used for an extended
period of time.
• For battery operation, use six size D
(R20) batteries.
• When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that
can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
• For car battery operation, use the
supplied car battery cord (DCC-EC12);
do not use any other cord.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the bottom.
On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm
of the side of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must be
unobstructed for the player to operate
properly and prolong the life of its
components.
• If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location in
the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the player
to prevent possible damage from the
magnet.

Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
• Do not stick paper or sticker on the
CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause tracking error.
Do not immerse in water
This product is not meant to be
immersed in water or come in
continuous contact with water.
• Before opening or shutting the CD

• If the player is splashed with salt
water, wipe clean with a damp cloth,
then dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not
wash under running water; do not use
soap or detergent; do not dry with an
electric hair dryer.
• The supplied AC power adaptor and
car battery cord are not water
resistant. To prevent shock hazard,
avoid using the player near water
during AC or car battery operation.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in
a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
