General Information

Environmental Information

All unnecessar y packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes

– remote control (with battery)

– AM loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

– stand

– screw and plug assembly

Safety Information

●

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

●

Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

●

Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

●

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.

●

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

●

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

●

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

●

If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

●

The mechanical parts of the set contain selflubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

●

When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.
