often require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
restore the product to its normal operation.  
e.If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,  
and  
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance  
– this indicates a need for service.  
22.Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are  
required, be sure the service technician has used  
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have  
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other  
hazards.

to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety  
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating  
condition.

General Information  
Unpacking  
Compact Discs  
First check the contents of the packaging. It should  
contain the following:  
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side  
of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed  
is the back.  
- CD-Player CC4300  
- Remote control unit (RC4300CC)  
- Batteries (AA size) x 2  
- Audio cable (1 - with red and white plugs)  
- Remote control cable (with orange plugs)  
- Instructions  
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs,  
the CC4300 reads the information recorded on the disc  
from underneath without contacting it using a beam of  
laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact  
disc will not degrade like conventional analog records.  
- Guarantee  
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or  
scratch the front side.  
If one of these components is missing, please inform  
your supplier immediately. Save the packaging material  
it may come in handy if you move the appliance.  
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following  
locations:  
• In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a  
heater.  
• In a place which is damp or dirty.  
• In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as  
near a window.  
For Your Safety  
Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are designed  
for operation on 120 V AC only.  
Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug.  
However, some products may be supplied with a  
nonpolarized plug.  
Always keep the disc surface clean.  
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side  
of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be  
sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as  
shown below.  
CAUTION :  
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to  
wide slot, fully insert.  
• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog  
records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface.  
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc  
cases.  
• Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the  
label side of disc. When a disc has a piece of  
plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded  
from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a  
sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such  
a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of  
taking out the disc or other malfunction may result.  
• Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-  
RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.  
• Do not use a disc with a special shape.  
Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape  
such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc.  
Otherwise the equipment malfunction may result.

General Information  
Playing CD-RW discs  
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs  
as well as ordinary music CD and CD-R (Recordable)  
discs.  
Placement  
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain  
properly-recorded TOC information so that they  
can be played back. With the CD recorder system,  
writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to  
as finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized  
as a CD disc and played back unless it has been  
finalized properly. For details, please read the  
instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.  
• TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains  
information such as the total number of tracks and  
total playing time of the disc.  
• This unit can play only the discs recorded in the  
CD-DA format designed for music reproduction.  
Do not attempt to play a disc containing other data,  
such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.  
• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates  
partial change of the player setup, it may take  
longer time for reading the TOC information than  
when a music CD or CD-R disc is played.  
• Place the CD player on a firm, flat surface.  
• Keep away from domestic heating equipment and  
direct sunlight.  
• In a cabinet, allow about 2 inches of free space all  
around the player for adequate ventilation.  
• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly, use a  
commonly-available cleaning CD to clean the lens  
before taking the CD-player to be repaired. Other  
cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always  
keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.  
• When it is moved from a cold to a warm environment,  
allow the CD player to acclimatize for at least 2 hours  
in order to avoid damage. When suddenly placed in  
a warm environment, the lens may cloud over.  
Playing an CD will not be possible then. Wait until  
the moisture evaporates.  
• A few CD-RW discs may not be played in some  
reason. Please use another disc to play.  
• Do not use the CD player under extremely damp  
conditions.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high  
humidity or high temperature for a long time.  
Attention!  
If the appliance is not used or operated in  
accordance with the instructions, this may result  
in exposure to dangerous radiation or other risks.  
Only authorized technicians are allowed to open  
the appliance casing or to perform repairs or  
maintenance.
