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.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Cabinet

● Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Cleaning Discs

● When a disc becomes dir ty,

clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

● Do not use solvents such as

benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the disc lens

● After prolonged use, dir t or dust may

accumulate at the disc lens. To ensure good playback quality, clean the disc lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with

cleaner.

Cleaning the Heads and the Tape Paths

● To ensure good recording and playback quality,

clean the heads A and B, the capstan(s) C,

and pressure roller(s) D after every 50 hours of tape operation.

Safety information

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

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

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

be placed on the apparatus.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● 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 mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

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 distor tion.

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.
