Note
The included AC power supply cord and AC
adaptor are for use with this unit only. Do not use
them with other equipment.
Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
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.

instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the 
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safe-
ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the 
manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart
is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa-
ratus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been 
exposed to rain or moisture, does not 
operate normally, or has been dropped.
To prevent damage
Avoid the following;
≥Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.
≥Pressing the LCD.
≥Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.
Do not use the unit in the following places;
≥Where the temperature is below 5oC (41oF) or above 35oC (95 oF). (Operating the unit be-
yond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit inoperable.)
≥Sandy places such as beaches.
≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers.
Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot
and cause burns.
