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 110V, PLEASE

ADJUST TO 110V BEFORE YOU

SWITCH ON THE SYSTEM.

General Information

• The type plate (which contains the serial number) is located at the rear of the system.

• 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.

Accessories

– Remote control – Batteries (two AA size) for remote

control

– AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord

(Supplied)

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. Allow at least 10cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5cm from each side.

• 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.

F Adjusting the Operating

Voltage

(not available for version /30)

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, make sure that the voltage selector at the rear of the system is set to the local power line voltage. If not, reset the selector before connecting to the wall outlet.
