Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On operation

Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while listening to a part of the disc with no audio signals or very low level Inputs. If you do so, the speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played. The lens on the disc table should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate properly.
