may
suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you sw it

compatible data medium.
● When inserting and removing a CD, always
hold it
at a right angle to the front of the
drive without tilting so as not to scratch it.
● If a CD or DVD is inserted while another is
alre

drive may be irreparably damaged. Always
wait until the data medium is completely
ejected. CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medi-

Instructions and restrictions
The number of USB ports as well as their
compatibility with Apple™ devices and other
media players depends on the unit.
The USB port supplies the usual USB volt-
age of 5 volts for a USB connection.
Due to the large number of different data me-
dia and various iPod™, iPad™ and iPhone™
generations available, it is not possible to
guarantee error-free operation of all func-
