Battery use
· Do not disassemble a battery. If the contents of the battery get on your hands or in your eyes, it can cause blindness or chemical burns. Doing so may result in the battery bursting, causing a fire or injury.
· Do not dispose of a battery in fire. Do not expose the battery to conditions of extreme low air pressure, cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight or a fire) or excessive dust or humidity. Doing so may result in the battery bursting, causing a fire or injury.
· Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. Charging could cause the battery to burst or leak, which can cause blindness, chemical burns, or injury.
· If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
Laser
· Do not look into the laser source. If there is nothing to block it, this unit emits a visible laser. Avoid looking at the laser directly. Laser light entering your eyes may cause visual impairment. When the plug is inserted into the AC outlet, do not place your eyes near openings of the disk tray or other openings, and do not try to look inside the unit.

CAUTION
This content indicates “risk of injury.”
Power supply
· Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.
· When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.
· Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the unit when it is not plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug, causing a fire or burns.
Installation
· Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it might accidentally drop or fall over and cause injuries.
· When installing this unit, do not obstruct heat dissipation. – Do not cover it with any cloth. – Do not install it on a carpet or rug. – Do not block this unit’s ventilation holes (cooling slits). – Do not install the unit in other ways than indicated. – Do not use the device in a confined, poorlyventilated location. Failure to observe the above may trap heat inside the unit, causing a fire or malfunctions. Ensure that there is adequate space around the unit: at least 2.5 cm (1 in) on top, 2.5 cm (1 in) on the sides, and 2.5 cm (1 in) on the rear.

· Do not install the unit in places where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air or places that have excessive smoke or steam. Doing so may result in malfunction.
· Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, such as an earthquake. Since the unit may turn over or fall and cause injury, quickly move away from the unit and go to a safe place.
· Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the power switch and disconnect all connection cables. Failure to observe this may damage the cables or cause you or someone else to trip and fall.
Hearing loss
· Before connecting the unit to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss, electric shock, or device damage.
· When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the amplifier or receiver LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the amplifier or receiver should be turned off FIRST for the same reason. Failure to observe the above may cause hearing impairment or speaker damage.
Maintenance
· Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks.

Handling caution
· Do not insert your hand or fingers into the openings of this unit. Failure to observe this may cause injury.
· Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or paper into the openings of this unit. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
· Do not do the following: – Stand on or sit on the equipment. – Put heavy items on top of the equipment. – Place the equipment in a stack. – Apply unreasonable force to buttons, switches, input/output terminals, etc. Failure to observe this may cause injuries or damage to the equipment.
· Avoid pulling the connected cables to prevent injuries or damage to the unit by causing it to fall.
Battery use
· Do not use batteries other than specified batteries. Doing so may cause fire or burns, or result in fluid leakage that may cause skin inflammation.
· Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Using new ones with old ones could cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
· Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.

· Keep batteries away from children. A child could accidentally swallow a battery. Failure to observe this may also cause inflammation due to battery fluid leaks.
· Do not put in a pocket or bag, carry, or store batteries together with pieces of metal. The battery could short, burst, or leak, causing a fire or injury.
· Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
· When the batteries run out, or if the unit is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
· When storing or discarding batteries, insulate the terminal area by applying tape, or some other protection. Mixing them with other batteries or metal objects can cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid.
