polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on
the lens.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
Avoid condensation problem
● The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the player in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
● Do not operate the system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 15 cm (6 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
10 cm
(4 inches)

operation.
● Use a cotton swab slightly
moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
● You also can clean the head by playing a
cleaning tape once.
Demagnetising the head
●
Use a demagnetising tape available at your dealer.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC Power can be reached easily.
● Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler
is used as the disconnect device, the disconnet
device shall remain readily operable.
