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.

Installation

● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.

● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free

space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme

temperatures or humidity.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

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

be placed on the apparatus.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

shall be placed on the apparatus.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newpapers, table-cloths, cur tains, et.

Maintenance

● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not expose the player,

batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for colour discs.

● 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.
