General Information
• The typeplate (which contains
the serial number) is located at
the rear of the system.
• Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.
• This device complies with the
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules, part 15
and with 21 CFR 1040.10.

Information
All unnecessary packaging has been
omitted.We have tried to make the
packaging easy to separate into three
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene
foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
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).
• 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 CD unit inside the system.
Should this occur, the CD 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.
Your system consists of materials which
can be recycled and reused if
disassembled by a specialized company.
Please observe the local regulations
regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat build-up in your system.
