CD player and CD handling Safety information

Troubleshooting

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

• 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!

• Sudden changes in the surrounding

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.

• Always close the CD-tape door to avoid dust

on the lens.

• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from

the center towards the edge using a soft,

lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as

they may damage the disc.

• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers

to it.

• Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface

so that the system does not tilt.

• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to

ping or splashing.

• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of

15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation

holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to

prevent heat build-up.

items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-

tains, etc.

dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
