SET-UP AND SAFETY

______________________________________________

To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use HiFi system will provide lasting satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions when setting it up:

This HiFi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

Select the location of the system in a way that leaves about 1.5 to 3 m of room on either side of the HiFi system. Set up the system about 30 cm from the wall.

If the stereo system is subjected to extreme variation in temperature, for example if brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before inserting a CD or cassette.

The HiFi is designed for use in dry rooms. Make sure to protect your HiFi system from moisture.

Do not place the HiFi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Do not insert foreign objects into the CD or cassette compartments.

Never open the HiFi casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

_________________________________________________________________

Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HiFi is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

If the stereo system no longer scans CDs perfectly, use a commercially available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser optics. Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

This HiFi system sucessfully fuses technology and environmental friendliness into a coherent package. Only ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been used. The packaging consists of almost 100 % recycled paper and the amount of plastic used has been reduced to a minimum. The batteries delivered do not contain mercury or cadmium, and for environmental reasons, back-up batteries have not been used. The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. In order to optimise recycling and to facilitate servicing, this HiFi system can be disassembled easily.
