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 safety. If the provided plug does not fit into

apparatus. Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these
operating instructions handy for future reference.
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 personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus 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. 11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION:Use only car adaptor, Model: SH-CDC9
manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.
CAUTION: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the
user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
≥Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any other parts that
directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
≥Do not use in the car when the unit is attached to the speaker stand.
∫Batteries≥Do not peel off the covering on the batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled
off.
≥Align the poles rand scorrectly when inserting the batteries.
≥Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
≥Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
≥Do not throw into a fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat.
≥Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are
placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a
fire. For safety, carry the rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.
SL-J910
Caution
A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you
have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to
recycle this battery.
∫Listening
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:
≥Leave it there.
EST. 1924
∫CDs≥Do not use irregularly shaped CDs.
≥Do not use non-specification discs.
≥Do not use CDs printed with label printers available on the market.
≥Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with adhesive exuding from
under labels and stickers.
AC adaptor 
This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V.
But
≥In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC power supply cord must be connected to a 120 V AC
power supply only.
≥When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adaptor to
suit the AC outlet configuration.
≥When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited
to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor.
≥Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug
adaptor or AC cord set.
