INSTALLATION

CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING

(Fig. 1)

• Check that the type plate on the rear of your

player Indicates the correct supply voltage.

• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult

your dealer or our Service Organisation.

SITING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-standing

• Always position the player horizontally on a flat,

firm surface.

• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the

• The player can be sited in any desired position.

Stacked

• Site the player preferably at the bottom or at the
top.

• Never position the player directly on top of a
high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives
off a substantial amount of heat.

direct sunlight or near a heat source.______________
