Troubleshooting

If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.

If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.

•	Place the set on a hard, flat and stable surface
	so that the system does not tilt.
•	Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
	humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
	by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

•	If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
	use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
	taking the set to repair.
•	The lens of the CD player should never be
	touched!

WARNING: Do not open the set as there is a risk of electric shock. Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will invalidate the guarantee.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of

15 cm between the ventilation holes and sur-

rounding surfaces is necessary to prevent

heat build-up.

• The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items,

such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..

shall be placed on the apparatus.

temperature can cause condensation on the

lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then

not possible. Do not attempt to clean the

lens but leave the set in a warm environment

until the moisture evaporates.

the lens.
