Precautions

Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies whit that indicated on the identification
sticker located at the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base
(furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7~10cm). Make sure the ventilation
slots are not covered. Do not stack other heavy devices on top of the player. Do not place
the player on amplifiers or other equipment, which may become hot. Before moving the player

player to the stand-by mode dose not disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the

on the player), excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric

malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic personal purposes

a soft damp (water only) cloth to clean disc. Wipe from the centre to the border. Always put
