· If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not
assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out
of spec & will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the
unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.

advertencias sobre este producto que figuran en el manual de
instrucciones.
SIGA LAS INSTRUCCIONES: Deben seguirse todas las
instrucciones del manual.
LIMPIEZA: Este producto debe limpiarse con una mopa suave o
con un paño seco. Nunca utilice cera para muebles, gasolina, insecticidas u otros líquidos volátiles, ya que podrían corroer la carcasa.
COMPLEMENTOS: No utilice accesorios que no estén
recomendados por el fabricante, pues podrían dañar la unidad.
AGUA Y HUMEDAD: No use este producto cerca de medios
acuáticos, como una bañera, un cubo de agua, un fregadero o un
lavadero; tampoco en un sótano húmedo, ni cerca de una piscina o
similar.
ACCESORIOS: No coloque el producto sobre un carrito,
soporte, trípode, brazo o mesa. Podría caer y causar graves daños a
un niño o adulto, así como a la propia unidad. Úsese sólo con un carrito, soporte, trípode, brazo o mesa recomendado por el fabricante.
Al montar la unidad deben seguirse siempre las instrucciones y
emplearse accesorios recomendados por el fabricante.
CARRITO: Si el producto va sobre un carrito, debe moverse el
conjunto con cuidado. Detenciones bruscas, una fuerza excesiva o
superficies inadecuadas pueden provocar la caída de todo el conjun-
ÉASE FIGURA A.
to. V
VENTILACIÓN: Las aperturas y ranuras de la carcasa están dis-
eñadas para la ventilación, aseguran un manejo fiable y lo protegen
de cualquier sobrecalentamiento, por tanto, nunca deben cubrirse ni
bloquearse. Estas aperturas no deben taparse colocando el producto
sobre un sofá, una cama, una alfombra o superficies similares. Nunca
debe colocarse en una estructura prefabricada, como una caja o un
rack, a menos que tengan la ventilación adecuada o lo permitan las
instrucciones del fabricante.
FUENTES DE ALIMENTACIÓN: Esta unidad debe utilizarse
exclusivamente con el tipo de suministro eléctrico indicado en la etiqueta correspondiente. Consúltelo antes de enchufar el producto si
no está seguro del tipo de suministro del lugar donde lo va a usar.
UBICACIÓN: Este aparato debe colocarse en una ubicación
estable.
PERIODOS SIN USARLO: Si no se va a usar la unidad durante
un tiempo prolongado, desenchúfelo de la corriente eléctrica.
TOMA DE TIERRA O POLARIZACIÓN:
- Si este producto lleva una clavija de corriente alterna polarizada
(con un pivote más grueso que otro, tipo inglés), sólo entrará en una
posición. Es una medida de seguridad. Si no puede introducir la clavija en el enchufe, gírela. En ningún caso debe forzarse. Si sigue sin
entrar, un electricista debería cambiar el enchufe.
- Si la unidad lleva una clavija con tres pivotes (el tercero corresponde a la toma de tierra), sólo entrará en un tipo de enchufe. Se
trata de una medida de seguridad. Si el enchufe y la clavija no son
compatibles, un electricista deberá cambiar el enchufe. En ningún
caso deberá forzarse.
PROTECCIÓN DEL CABLE DE CORRIENTE: Los cables
de corriente deben protegerse para que nadie los pise ni corran el
riesgo de pinzarse por elementos colocados encima o que los aprisionen. Debe prestarse especial atención al cable, al enchufe, a los
extensores de cable y al punto por donde el cable sale de la unidad.
TIERRA DE LA ANTENA EXTERIOR: Si el producto lleva
conectada una antena exterior o sistema de cables, asegúrese de que
cuenta con la toma de tierra correspondiente, a fin de proteger la
unidad de variaciones de voltaje y cargas de electricidad estática.
Existe documentación oficial acerca de la correcta utilización de la
toma de tierra y de las medidas de seguridad pertinentes, conexión
de los electrodos de descarga y sus requisitos. V
ÉASE FIGURA B.
RAYOS: Como protección adicional del producto durante una tor-
7
menta eléctrica, o durante periodos prolongados sin usarlo, desenchúfelo de la corriente y desconecte la antena o sistema de cables.
De este modo se protegerá el producto de los daños que pueda producir la caída de un rayo o las fluctuaciones de la red eléctrica.
LÍNEAS ELÉCTRICAS: Nunca debe situarse un sistema de
antena cerca de líneas eléctricas u otros circuitos de corriente.
Tampoco debe colocarse en lugares donde pueda caer sobre dichos
circuitos eléctricos. Al instalar un sistema de antenización exterior,
debe tomarse la extrema precaución de no tocar dichas líneas eléctricas, pues el más mínimo contacto puede ser mortal.
SOBRECARGA: No sobrecargue los enchufes de la pared con
ladrones o instalando enchufes múltiples, pues correría el riesgo de
electrocución o incendio.
ENTRADA DE OBJETOS O LÍQUIDOS: Nunca introduzca
objetos de ningún tipo en el interior del producto, pues podrían tocar
una parte eléctrica y cortocircuitar el aparato, lo que resultaría en un
incendio o descarga eléctrica. No verter nunca ningún líquido sobre
el producto.
REPARACIÓN: No intente reparar el producto por cuenta
propia, ya que abrir o retirar la carcasa le expondría a un voltaje peligroso u otros peligros. Diríjase siempre a un centro de servicio técnico autorizado.
DAÑOS QUE REQUIEREN REPARACIÓN: Desenchufe el
aparato de la corriente y diríjase a un servicio técnico autorizado si
se da alguna de las siguientes situaciones:
- El cable de alimentación o la clavija están dañados.
- Se ha vertido líquido o ha caído algún objeto sobre la unidad.
- El aparato se ha expuesto a la lluvia o a salpicaduras.
- La unidad se ha caído al suelo o dañado de algún modo.
- El aparato no funciona con normalidad, ni aun siguiendo las
instrucciones. Ajuste sólo los mandos que se indican en las instrucciones, ja que la manipulación inadecuada de otros controles podría
dañar la unidad y requeriría un mayor trabajo de un técnico para
restablecer su funcionamiento normal.
- Si el producto muestra anomalías en su funcionamiento, necesita
revisión por parte de un servicio técnico autorizado.
RECAMBIOS: Cuando se necesite alguna pieza de recambio,
