Care of compact discs

„

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec­tion and player.

z

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

z

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.

z

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the centre, along the radius.

NO

Condensation

„

Sudden temperature changes, storage
or operation in an extremely humid en­vironment may cause condensation in­side the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on
the transmitter on the remote control.

Condensation can cause the unit to
malfunction. If this happens, leave the
power on with no disc in the unit until
normal playback is possible (about 1
hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before
operating the unit.

The speakers are magnetically shielded.
Therefore, they do not affect the display even you use them near
the TV. However, some colour variation may occur, depending on
the type of TV used.

If colour variation occurs...

Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.

If the colour variation is still present...

Move the speakers further away from the TV.

z

If any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to
the TV and the system, irregular colours may appear on the TV
screen.

Setting the AM/FM interval

„

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established
that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz
interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100
kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz
zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).

This product is not equipped with a span selector. Ho wever , it will be
