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

Installation

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

●There must be sufficient room in front of the system for the drawer to open.

●In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all around the system for adequate ventilation.

●Do not expose your system to extreme temperatures or humidity.

Maintenance

●When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or

direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

●Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for color discs.

●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.
