Care and safety information(page 3 – P2)

Avoid high temperature, moisture, waterand dust– Do not expose the system, batteries or discsto humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (causedby heating equipment or direct sunlight). Alwayskeep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on thelens.– No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,shall be placed on the apparatus.– No naked flame sources, such as lightedcandles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Avoid condensation problem– The lens may cloud over when the system issuddenly moved from cold to warmsurroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.Leave the system in the warm environment untilthe moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents– In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) offree space all around the system for adequateventilation.

Care of disc– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line fromthe centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-freecloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!– Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch thesurface.

Care of the cabinet– Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a milddetergent solution. Do not use a solutioncontaining alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Finding a suitable location– Place the system on a flat, hard, and stablesurface.

Built-in safety circuit– Under extreme conditions, this system mayswitch to standby mode automatically. If thishappens, let the system cool down beforereusing it.
