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 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
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (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.
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Do not block the vents
Do not operate the system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.
The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning discs
To clean a disc, wipe it in a
straight line from the center towards the edge using soft and lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.
Write only on the printed side
of a disc and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.
Finding a suitable location
Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.
Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
English
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.
