• The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip­ping or splashing.

• No object filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Do not use where there are extremes of tem­perature (below 5°C or exceeding 35°C).

• 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 BS1362 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.

• 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.

- Disconnect the mains plug from the supply

socket when not in use. Do not remove the
back cover with mains connected.
