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. General Information Care and safety information Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust - Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens. Avoid condensation problem - 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. Do not block the vents - In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all around the system for adequate ventilation. Care of disc - To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. 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 the surface. Care of the cabinet - Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives. Finding a suitable location - Place the system on a flat, hard, and stable surface. Built-in safety circuit - Under extreme conditions, this system may switch to standby mode automatically.
