General Information

IMPORTANT!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE

SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OF

THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM

THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES THAT

OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUST

TO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON

THE SYSTEM.

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes

– remote control

– MW loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

Environmental information

All unnecessary 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 specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

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, curtains, 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.

●

The lens may cloud over when the system is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.

Leave the system in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

●

The mechanical par ts 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.
