[AS29957(R)03/96]
To ensure the continued performance of your CD Changer,
carefully read the following precautions:
*
[AS29958(R)01/95]
n
Always handle a disc by the edge. Never touch the playing
surface.
[AS29959(R)06/95]
n
Before playing, inspect all discs for any contamination. If
needed, clean discs with an approved disc cleaner, such as
the Discwasher Compact Disc Cleaner or the Allsop 3
Compact Disc Cleaner, by wiping from the center out to the
edges. Do not use a circular motion to clean.
*
[AS29960(R)04/96]
n
Do not clean discs with solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended
for analog records.
*
[AS29961(R)01/95]
n
Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for
an extended period of time.
*
[AS29962(R)01/95]
n
Do not insert more than one disc into each disc slot of the
disc magazine. Doing so may damage the discs, disc
magazine or the disc changer.
*
[AS29963(R)01/95]
n
Do not insert anything other than discs into the disc
magazine.
*
[AS29964(R)05/95]
RWARNING
The laser beam used in the compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the
case.

Terrain
*
[AS30800(R)05/96]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS30810(R)05/96]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ºbendsª around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ºshadowª of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS30820(R)05/96]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the
reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to
pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
*
[AS30830(R)05/96]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has
been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically
switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS30840(R)05/96]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS30850(R)05/96]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
