If not, please consult your dealer. ● Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnet device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. ● 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. ● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, 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. ● 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 selflubricating 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. 8
