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.
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.) Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the
lens.
Avoid condensation problem
– The lens may cloud over when the system is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
Do not block the vents
– In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of
free space all around the system for adequate
ventilation.
Care of disc
–To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free
cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!
–Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the
surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the system on a flat, hard, and stable
surface.
Built-in safety circuit
– Under extreme conditions, this system may
switch to standby mode automatically. If this
happens, let the system cool down before
reusing it.
Cleaning the Heads and the Tape Paths
–To ensure good recording and playback
quality, clean the heads, the capstan(s), and
pressure roller(s) after every 50 hours of tape
operation.
– Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
–You also can clean the heads by playing a
cleaning tape once.
