EN
•
Disconnect the system from AC power
before cleaning the exterior of the unit with
a soft dust cloth
•
CD-R discs that are recorded using personal
computers or other CD-R recorders may not

(recordable or labeled side) of a CD-R disc as
this may result in the disc malfunctioning.
To avoid damages to the CD-R disc, do not
open the disc compartment door while the
disc is being read. This may take more then
30 seconds.
Handling CDs
•
Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs
