PRECAUTIONS & GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Place the set on a hard, flat surface so that the system does not tilt.

Do not expose the set, CDs, batteries or cassettes to humidity, rain,

sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

• Always shut the CD door to keep the CD compartment dust-free. To clean, dust the compartment with a soft dry cloth.

Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 15 cms between the ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is

necessary to prevent heat build-up.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois leather. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing.

CD PLAYER AND CD HANDLING

• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause

 

condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud over.

but leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture

 

evaporates.

 

• Use only Digital Audio CDs.

 

• To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while lifting the

X

 

CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace the CD back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.

Never write on a CD or attach stickers to it.
