GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION  
• Do not expose the system to excessive  
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.  
• Under no circumstances should you  
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 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.

General Information  
The type plate (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.  
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.  
To disconnect the system from the  
power supply completely, remove  
the AC power plug from the wall  
socket.  
Environmental 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).  
Allow at least 10cm clearance from the  
rear and the top of the unit and 5cm  
from each side.  
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.
