Outer Casing

Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids get into the system.

Do not place potted plants or vases on top of the unit. Moisture entering the unit could lead to dangerous electric shock and can cause equipment damage. In such events immediately disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Remove the batteries from the remote control, if not used for any extended periods.

Leaking batteries can cause serious damage to the remote control.

Do not place heavy items on the main lead. Main cable damage can lead to damage of the equipment (fire hazard) and can cause electric shock.

When using headphones, take care not to listen at excessive volumes. Extended use of headphones at high volumes will lead to hearing damage.

Do not remove any equipment panels. The inside of the unit

contains live components, which cause electric shock.

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.

Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sun- light, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures. Always use compact discs marked COMPACT .
