The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must bu used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed to fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : NEUTRAL

Brown : LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol W or coloured green or green and yellow.

•The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

•If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet.

Power Cord

Do not place furniture on, or pinch, the power cord (mains lead). Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help. Should the AC power cord need to be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.

Choice Of Location

•Please do not place the set in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in a location near heat sources.

•The set should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

•A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.

•Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.

•The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.

•Please avoid contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath or swimming pools.

•Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.
