General Information
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE
SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR
OF THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V
FROM THE FACTORY.
FOR COUNTRIES THAT OPERATE AT
110-127V, PLEASE ADJUST TO 110-127V
BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON THE
SYSTEM.
¶ The type plate (which contains the serial
number) is located at the rear of the player.
¶ Recording is permissible if copyright or
other rights of third parties are not
infringed.
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.
Supplied Accessories
– Remote control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord
Safety Information
¶ Before operating the player, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your player 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 player.
¶ When the player is switched on, do not move it
around.
¶ Place the player on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).
¶ Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your player. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from the each side.
¶ Do not expose the player to excessive moisture,
rain, sand or heat sources.
¶ Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the
warranty!
¶ If the player 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 player. Should this occur, the CD
player will not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
player 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 player from the power
supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall socket.
