Precautions

On safety

• Caution — The use of optical

instruments with this product will

increase eye hazard.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the player and

have it checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Before operating the player, check that

the operating voltage of the player is

identical with your local power

supply. The operating voltage is

indicated on the nameplate at the rear

of the player.

• The player is not disconnected from

the AC power source (mains) as long

as it is connected to the wall outlet,

even if the player itself has been

turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player

for a long time, be sure to disconnect

the player from the wall outlet. To

disconnect the AC power cord (mains

lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only

at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent heat

build-up in the player.

• Do not place the player on a soft

surface such as a rug that might block

the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the player in a location

near heat sources, or in a place subject

to direct sunlight, excessive dust or

mechanical shock.

On using the stabiliser (only for

CDP-XB920 and CDP-XB920E)

• Be sure to use the supplied stabiliser.

If you use any other stabiliser, you

may damage the player.

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock

hazard, do not expose the unit

to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do

not open the cabinet. Refer

servicing to qualified

personnel only.

The laser component in this product

is capable of emitting radiation

exceeding the limit for Class 1.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1

LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER

PRODUCT MARKING is located on the

rear exterior.

The following caution label is located

inside of the unit or on the top of the

exterior.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a

cold to a warm location, or is placed in

a very damp room, moisture may

condense on the lenses inside the

player. Should this occur, the player

may not operate properly. In this case,

remove the disc and leave the player

turned on for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while

listening to a portion with very low

level inputs or no audio signals. If you

do, the speakers may be damaged

when a peak level portion is played.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls

with a soft cloth slightly moistened

with a mild detergent solution. Do not

use any type of abrasive pad, scouring

powder or solvent such as alcohol or

benzine.

When to replace batteries

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six

months. When the remote no longer operates the player,

replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote near an extremely hot or humid

place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing,

particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or

lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,

remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery

leakage and corrosion.

Recording a CD by Specifying

Tape Length

(Time Edit/Just Edit)

You can have the player create a programme that will

fit the length of the tape. Select one of the following

options:

• Time Edit: automatically creates a programme,

keeping the original order of the disc. However,

when the remaining time becomes shorter than the

next succeeding track, the player automatically

programmes a track which is nearly equal to the

remaining time.

•Just Edit: automatically arranges the track order to fit

the tape length.

The programme may contain up to 24 tracks (a pause

inserted between tracks is counted as one track).

Note that tracks numbered over 24 cannot be

programmed in this feature.

half, keeping the original order (only in Time Edit).

Note that you cannot select “HALF” when the disc has

more than 24 tracks.

the programme.

The music calendar shows the tracks to be

interrupted where the track number changes. It happens

when the track numbers are assigned in the middle of the

piece.
