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.

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.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

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

be placed on the apparatus.

● 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 disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.
