Important notes for users in the U.K. Mains plug

FrançaisEnglish

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

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

Español

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

approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

Deutsch ∂ППЛУИО¿PortuguêsSuomiDanskSvenskaItalianoNederlands

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 of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a 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:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

• 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 of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

• Recording is permissible if copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed.

• This product complies with the radio interference requirements of the European Community.

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. The typeplate is

located at the rear of your system.

• When the system is switched on, do not

move it around.

• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a

cabinet).

• Place the system in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent internal

heat build-up in your system.

• The system incorporates a built-in

safety feature that prevents over

heating.

• Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.

• Under no circumstances should you repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty!

• 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 CD unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

• Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected problems. See whether these problems disappear if you unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again after a few seconds.

• To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.
