General Information
IMPORTANT!PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGESELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OFTHIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROMTHE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES THATOPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUSTTO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ONTHE SYSTEM.
Environmental InformationAll unnecessary packaging has been omitted. Wehave tried to make the packaging easy toseparate into three materials: cardboard (box),polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can berecycled and reused if disassembled by aspecialized company. Please observe the localregulations regarding the disposal of packagingmaterials, exhausted batteries and oldequipment.
Supplied accessories– Remote control– MW loop antenna– One Video cinch cable– 2 speaker boxes– AC adapter (not for all versions)
Safety Information Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (orthe voltage indication beside the voltageselector) of your system is identical with thevoltage of your local power supply. If not, pleaseconsult your dealer.
Place the system on a flat, hard and stablesurface.
Place the system in a location with adequateventilation to prevent internal heat build-up inyour system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)clearance from the rear and the top of the unitand 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
The ventilation should not be impeded bycovering the ventilation openings with items,such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.
Do not expose the system, batteries or discs toexcessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sourcescaused 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, shallbe placed on the apparatus.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to drippingor splashing.
Install this unit near the AC outlet and where theAC power plug can be reached easily.
If the system is brought directly from a cold to awarm location, or is placed in a very damp room,moisture may condense on the lens of the discunit inside the system. Should this occur, the CDplayer would not operate normally. Leave thepower on for about one hour with no disc in thesystem until normal playback is possible.
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled orlubricated.
When the system is switched to Standbymode, it is still consuming some power.To disconnect the system from thepower supply completely, remove the ACpower plug from the wall socket.

A PowerBefore connecting the AC power cord to thewall outlet, ensure that the following are done;– If your system is equipped with aVoltage Selector, set the VOLTAGESELECTOR to the local power linevoltage.– All other connections have been made.
WARNING!– For optimal performance, use only theoriginal power cable.– Never make or change any connectionswith the power switched on.
To avoid overheating of the system, a safetycircuit has been built in. Therefore, yoursystem may switch to Standby modeautomatically under extreme conditions. Ifthis happens, let the system cool downbefore reusing it (not available for all versions).
