obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the
plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable)
can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in
music CD format. (However, they may not be played back

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken
when using or moving your mini-compact system.

Safety Precautions

Ambient operating conditions:
Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C
Humidity 10-75%

Do not expose the unit to direct sun
radiation or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and
malfunction of the unit.

Do not place potted plants or vases
on top of the unit. Moisture entering
the unit could lead to dangerous
electric shock and can cause
equipment damage. In such events
immediately disconnect the main
plug from the socket.

During thunderstorms, disconnect
the main plug from the socket.
Main voltage peaks due to lightning
could damage the unit.

Remove the batteries from the
remote control, if not used for any
extended period.
Leaking batteries can cause serious
damage to the remote control.

When using headphones, take care
not to listen at excessive volumes.
Extended use of headphones at
high volumes will lead to hearing
damage.

Do not place heavy items on the
main lead. Main cable damage can
lead to damage of the equipment (fire
hazard) and can cause electric
shock.

Do not remove any equipment panels.
The inside of the unit
contains live components, which
cause electric shock.

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact
system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing
The compact disc player
The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it

Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
your local dealer).

Tape Decks

Press Push Eject( ) to open the cassette deck.
Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

Head (1)

remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.
