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 you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.

•	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!

•	Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface
	so that the system does not tilt.
•	Where the MAINS plug or an appliance cou-
	pler is used as the disconnect device, the dis-
	connet device shall remain readily operable.

WARNING: Do not open the set as there is a risk of electric shock. Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will invali- date the guarantee.

• 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.

• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused

by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-

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.

• Do not cover the ventilation openings with

items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-

tains, etc.

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,

shall be placed on the apparatus.

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-

dles, should be placed on the apparatus.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain

self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
