separate into three materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
L The lens may cloud over when the system is  
suddenly moved from cold to warm  
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.  
Leave the system in the warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.  
L The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
Your system consists of materials which can be  
recycled and reused if disassembled by a  
specialised company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
