General Information/Maintenance

Environmental information

Any 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.

Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on the lens.

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

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

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Avoid condensation problem

The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

Do not operate the system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Cleaning discs

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center

towards the edge using soft and lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.

Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Cleaning the disc lens

After prolonged use, dirt or dust may accumulate at the disc lens.To ensure good playback quality, clean the disc lens with Philips CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with cleaner.

Finding a suitable location

Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Cleaning the head and the tape paths

To ensure good recording and playback quality, clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and pressure roller(s) C after every 50 hours of tape operation.
