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 player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.

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

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

Do not expose your player 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 player, 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 analog discs.

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.
