Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Safety Information

● Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler

is used as the disconnet device, the disconnet device shall remain readily operable.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

● Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be easily reached.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

● Using headphones at a high volume can impair

your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.

● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

● Set your volume control at a low setting.

● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

● Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally

"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.

● Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and

take appropriate breaks.

General Information

English

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.

● Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable

periods of time.

● Be careful not to adjust the volume as your

hearing adapts.

● Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can't hear what's around you.

● You should use caution or temporarily

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

● Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
