ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INSIDE
OF THE PRODUCT.
REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL.

- 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.

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 BS 1362 and
should carry the ASTA mark

.

- 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.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol­lowing code.

Blue Neutral

Brown Live
The wires in the mains lead must be connected to the terminals in the
plug as follows:

Wire colour Plug terminal marking

Blue N or Black or Blue

Brown L or Red or Brown
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal.
If the mains plug contains a fuse this should be 3A, if a plug without a
fuse is used the distribution board fuse should not be greater than 5A.

The unit is not disconnected from the mains unless it is unplugged from the AC outlet.
