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.

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

The lens of the CD player should never be touched.

Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud over. 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.

Use only Digital Audio CDs

To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while lifting the CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace the CD back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.

To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the centre 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 stickers to it.
