Laser products
Do not take this unit apart or at-tempt to make any changes
yourself. This is an intricate unit
that uses a laser pickup to re-
trieve information from the sur-
face of compact discs. The la-
ser is carefully shielded so that
its rays remain inside the cabi-
net. Therefore, never try to dis-
assemble the player or alter any
of its parts since you may be ex-
posed to laser rays and danger-
ous voltages.
This product utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures
other than those specified here-
in may result in hazardous radi-
ation exposure.

Tone
How good
an audio program sounds to you
is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, mid and bass levels. In fact, differ-
ent kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with dif ferent mixes of
treble, mid and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a
stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
