Safety Information

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer. The typeplate is located at the rear of your system.

When the system is switched on, do not move it around.

Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).

Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system.

Allow at least 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm from each side.

Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.

 

SAFETY INFORMATION

 

Under no circumstances should you

English

 

repair the system yourself, as this will

 

 

 

invalidate the warranty!

 

If the system is brought directly from a

 

 

cold to a warm location, or is placed in a

 

 

very damp room, moisture may

 

 

condense on the lens of the disc unit

 

 

inside the system. Should this occur, the

 

 

disc player will not operate normally.

 

 

Leave the power on for about one hour

 

 

with no disc in the system until normal

 

 

playback is possible.

 

Electrostatic discharge may cause

 

 

unexpected problems. See whether

 

 

these problems disappear if you unplug

 

 

the AC power cord and plug it in again

 

 

after a few seconds.

 

To disconnect the system from the

 

 

power supply completely, remove

 

 

the AC power plug from the wall

 

 

socket.
