Do not block the vents  
Environmental information  
Do not operate the system in an enclosed  
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free  
space all around the player for adequate  
ventilation.  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with items,  
such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.  
Any 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  
specialised company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging  
materials, exhausted batteries and old  
equipment.
