Handling of compact discs  
Observe the following:  
disc. Small dust particles and light  
stains will have absolutely no ef-  
fect on reproduction quality.  
Only use circular compact discs.  
Avoid using noncircular promo-  
tional, etc. discs.  
Always place compact discs in the  
tray with their label facing upward  
(compact discs can only be played  
on one side).  
To remove a disc from its storage  
case, press down on the center  
of the case, and lift the disc out,  
holding it carefully by the edges.  
To keep the laser pickups clean, do  
not touch them. For the same rea-  
son, do not leave the disc tray open  
unnecessarily.  
e CD-BT1MKII cannot play  
unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. In  
addition, some finalized CD-R/  
RW discs may be unplayable on  
the CD-BT1MKII.  
Never use such chemicals as re-  
cord sprays, antistatic sprays or  
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean  
compact discs. Such chemicals  
will do irreparable damage to the  
disc’s plastic surface.  
Discs should be returned to their  
cases after use to avoid serious  
scratches that could cause the la-  
ser pickup to “skip”.  
Don’t expose discs to direct sun-  
light or high humidity and tem-  
perature for extended periods.  
Long exposure to high tempera-  
ture can warp the disc.  
Finger marks and dust should be  
carefully wiped off the disc’s re-  
corded surface with a soft cloth.  
Unlike conventional records, the  
compact disc has no grooves to  
collect dust and microscopic de-  
bris, so gently wiping with a soft  
cloth should remove most parti-  
cles.  
Wipe in a straight motion from  
the inside to the outside of the

About the power supply  
Make sure the batteries are in- as the battery symbol as follows:  
Operation using batteries

Always use batteries of the same  
type, and replace all batteries to-  
gether.  
Do not attempt to recharge batter-  
ies that are not rechargeable.  
2 parts are lit  
Battery charge is approximately half.  
1 part is lit  
Not much battery charge is left.  
CAUTION  
We strongly recommend the use of recharge-  
able Ni-MH batteries (alkaline batteries may  
also be used). Your CD-BT1MKII may not op-  
erate properly with batteries of other types.  
If you are not going to use the  
CD-BT1MKII for longer than  
one month, remove the batteries.  
Do not throw batteries into water  
or fire. Do not disassemble batter-  
ies.

Battery charge is nearly gone. Replace  
with fully charged batteries.  
Length of battery life  
 Ni-MH batteries: Approx. 4.5 hours  
If a battery leaks in the compart-  
ment, wipe the liquid away com-  
pletely with a disposable cloth.  
Make certain no residue remains  
before inserting new batteries.  
 Alkaline batteries: Approx. 1.5 hours  
Auto power-save  
WARNING  
While using battery power, the CD  
player and CD functions of the CD-  
BT1MKII shut down automatically if  
any of the following conditions lasts  
more than 5 minutes: (the CD part of  
the display shows CD OFF).  
Misuse of batteries may cause leaks and ex-  
plosions. Please carefully read and follow the  
instructions below:

adapter (sold separately) to the DC IN  
jack at the back of the CD-BT1MKII.  
Unplug the AC adapter from the domestic  
AC power outlet when you are not using the  
CD-BT1MKII.  
Insert the plug of the AC adapter into  
a domestic AC power outlet. Make  
sure that the voltage of the outlet corre-  
sponds to that marked on the adapter.  
CAUTION  
Because the CD-BT1MKII is equipped with  
special functions such as key change and  
effects, the battery life is shorter compared  
with standard portable CD players.  
Settings may not be properly saved if you  
turn the power off immediately after insert-  
ing a CD or changing settings. If settings are  
not saved properly, the system may not start  
with the last settings and instead will start  
using the default values.

The length of battery life in CD-BT1MKII is  
affected by both the environment and the  
number of functions in use. Factors that af-  
fect battery life include temperature, humid-  
ity, the number of special functions used, and  
so on.  
Switching the unit on and off  
Use the POWER switch to turn the  
power to the whole unit on and off.  
DC plug  
Under some circumstances, there may not be  
enough power in the batteries to power the  
CD-BT1MKII, despite the battery power indi-  
cation on the display. If this happens, change  
the batteries, or use an AC adapter.  
WARNING  
Use only a PS-PS5 AC adapter with your CD-  
BT1MKII. Using another type of AC adapter  
may damage your CD-BT1MKII.  
N
Always dispose of used batteries as recom-  
mended by your local authorities.  
Remove the batteries before operating the  
CD-BT1MKII with an AC adapter. There is a  
possibility of slight noise if you use the unit  
with an AC adapter while the batteries are  
inside. If you plug in an AC adapter but have
