and 50 ohms impedance. The recommended
impedance is 32 ohms.

z

Plugging in the headphones disconnects the
speakers automatically. Adjust the volume

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.
