Maintenance

English

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.

Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

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 CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

The mechanical parts of the set contain self- lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

When a disc becomes dirty,

clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

Do not expose the player, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat

(caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for colour discs.

The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
