    Important Safety Instructions
    1Read these instructions.2Keep these instructions.3Heed all warnings.4Follow all instructions.5Do not use this apparatus near water.6Clean only with dry cloth.7Do  not  block  any  ventilation  openings.  Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.8Do  not  install  near  any  heat  sources  such  as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.9Do  not  defeat  the  safety  purpose  of  the  po-larized  or  grounding-type  plug.  A  polarized  plug has  two  blades  with  one  wider  than  the  other.  A grounding  type  plug  has  two  blades  and  a  third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are  provided  for  your  safety.  If  the  provided  plug does  not  fi t  into  your  outlet,  consult  an  electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.10Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep-tacles,  and  the  point  where  they  exit  from  the  ap-paratus.11Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed by the manufacturer.12Use  only  with  the  cart,  stand,  tripod,  bracket, or table specifi ed by the manufacturer, or sold with the  apparatus.  When  a  cart  is  used,  use  caution when  moving  the  cart/apparatus  combination  to avoid injury from tip-over.
    13Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.14Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service person-nel.  Servicing  is  required  when  the  apparatus  has been  damaged  in  any  way,  such  as  power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the appara-tus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.•Do  not  expose  this  apparatus  to  drips  or splashes.•Do  not  place  any  objects  fi lled  with  liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.•Do  not  install  this  apparatus  in  a  confi ned space such as a book case or similar unit.•The  apparatus  draws  nominal  non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the off position.
    NOTESThe  CD-GT1  cannot  play  unfi nalized  CD-R/RW  discs.  In  addition,  some  fi nalized CD-R/RW  discs  may  be  unplayable  on the CD-GT-1.
    To  avoid  the  possibility  of  slight  noise when  you  use  the  unit  with  the  AC adapter, remove the batteries before con-necting  the  AC  adapter.  If  any  batteries are accidentally left in the unit, you should always switch the unit off when changing between AC adapter and battery power. 
    The microphone input is unbalanced. Use an  unbalanced  microphone  cable  fi tted with a 1/4” plug. 
    Ni-MH  batteries  may  exhibit  reduced  per-formance  in  an  environment  under  10ºC (50F). Also, if these batteries are not used for  some  time  after  charging,  they  may also exhibit reduced performance. 
    The performance of alkaline batteries also depends  on  temperature  and  time  since manufacture  (low  temperatures  and  lon-ger  periods  mean  shorter  battery  life,  re-gardless of the battery indicator as shown on the display). 
    Bear this in mind when operating the unit, and  use  freshly  recharged  Ni-MH  batter-ies,  new  alkaline  batteries  or  use  an  AC adapter if battery life seems inadequate.
