Precautions

• This unit operates on 220 V - 240 V AC,

50/60 Hz. Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

• Install this unit so that the mains lead can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits set out in the EMC Directive using a connection cable shorter than 3 metres.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the ventilation opening of the appliance with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

• Do not expose the appliance to naked flame sources

(for example, lighted candles).

• Do not install this player in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
