Safety Information  
– 2 speaker boxes including 2 speaker cables  
– remote control (with 1 x CR2025 battery)  
– MW loop antenna  
– FM wire antenna  
– stand  
Place the system on a flat, hard and stable  
surface.  
Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in  
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)  
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit  
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.  
– mounting kit  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with items,  
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.  
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to  
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources  
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,  
should be placed on the apparatus.  
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).  
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.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall  
be placed on the apparatus.  
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 disc  
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD  
player would not operate normally. Leave the  
power on for about one hour with no disc in the  
system until normal playback is possible.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
When the system is switched to Standby  
mode, it is still consuming some power.  
To disconnect the system from the  
power supply completely, remove the AC  
power plug from the wall socket.  
The set complies with the FCC-Rules,  
Part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry  
Canada.  
Operation is subject  
to the following two conditions:  
1. this device may not cause harmful  
interference, and  
2. this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
The set complies with the FDA/DHHS Rule  
21 CFR Subchapter J in effect at Date of  
Manufacture

Hearing Safety  
Listen at a moderate volume.  
selects sound source CD, USB,TUNER or  
DOCK  
Using headphones at a high volume can impair  
your hearing. This product can produce sounds  
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for  
a normal person, even for exposure less than a  
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered  
for those that may have already experienced  
some hearing loss.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds  
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to  
your hearing. To guard against this, set your  
volume to a safe level before your hearing  
adapts and leave it there.  
In standby or Eco Power mode: switches the  
set on and selects sound source CD, USB,

Helpful hints:  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally  
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.  
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and  
take appropriate breaks.  
– Adjust the volume to a moderate level  
before you plug in the headphones.  
– Connecting headphones will switch off the  
speakers.  
9ALBUM/ PRESET + /-  
Be sure to observe the following  
guidelines when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable  
periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your  
hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you  
can't hear what's around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations.
