Troubleshooting

CD player and CD handling

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!

Safety information

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

 

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused

 

by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

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.

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 invalidate 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.

• 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

or lubricated.

• To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use

any cleaning agents containing alcohol,

ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may

harm the housing.
