12V jack.
On power sources
•Use house current or a car battery (12 V DC).

adaptor supplied with the player. Do not use
any other AC power adaptor since it may
cause the player to malfunction.
Polarity of

accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an
abnormality in the AC power adaptor,
disconnect it from the AC outlet
immediately.

confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in
cabinet.

not use the AC power adaptor in a place
exposed to water or moisture.
Do not place objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, on the player.

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 power
supply (AC power adapter or car battery
cord). To remove the AC power adaptor from
the wall outlet, grasp the plug itself; never
pull the cord.
