- The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
- Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5°C or exceeding 35°C) or where direct sunlight may strike it.
- Because of the CD player’s extremely low noise and wide dy­namic range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an exces­sively large output from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.
CAUTION
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A LOW POWER LASER DEVICE, TO ENSURE CONTINUED SAFETY DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVERS OR ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF THE PRODUCT. REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
- Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause conden­sation to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out the disc, leave the unit for about 1 hour, and then proceed to operate.
- The system’s speakers use powerful magnets. Do not place timepieces, credit cards, cassette tapes or video tapes, etc. near the speakers.
- Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.
- No object filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
IMPORTANT
If the plug supplied with this equipment is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home it should be cut off and replaced with the cor­rect type.
Disposal of Plug
If the non rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be inserted into a live socket.
Replacing Fuse
The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse. Only a 3A fuse should be used and should comply with BS1362 and should carry the ASTA mark .
The unit is not disconnected from the mains unless it is unplugged from the AC outlet
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code;
