To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and
enjoyment, please observe the following instructions:

This device is designed for the recording and playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.

Protect the device, the CDs and cassettes from rain, moisture, sand and heat.
Do not leave it next to heaters or inside parked cars in the sun.

Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartments.
Bringing the device in from the cold can cause condensation on the CD lens,

which prevents it from playing. Allow the device to adapt to room
conditions.

The CD and tape units contain self-lubricating bearings, which must not be
oiled or greased.

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

Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.

Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean the
device with a clean, moist leather cloth.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are
covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain
chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus
resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or
impossible to remove.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change
a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.

Note:

The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue =
neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

1 Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
2 Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
3 Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E

(or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath oft the lead – not simply over the two wires.

General instructions for laser devices

You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here on the bottom of
the device.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is designed in such a
way as to ensure that the maximum permissible emission value cannot
be exceeded under any circumstances.

If operation devices or methods other than those specified here are em­ployed, this may lead to dangerous exposure to emissions.

Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and
the safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this
radiation.

Only use music CDs which bear the logo shown on the left.
If the device is unable to scan CDs perfectly, use a standard commercial

cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.

Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting
on the laser optics.

Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs.
Keep the surfaces of CDs clean.

Preparation

1 Press »STANDBY« to switch on the device.

– The indicator in the »STANDBY« button goes out.

2 Set the » CD TAPE RADIO« switch to »CD«.
