General Information  
Safety information  
Maintenance  
Before operating the system, check that the  
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or  
the voltage indication beside the voltage  
selector) of your system is identical with the  
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please  
consult your dealer.  
When a disc becomes dirty,  
clean it with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center  
out, in a straight line.  
Do not expose the player,  
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.  
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.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for colour discs.  
The apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
The lens may cloud over when the player is  
suddenly moved from cold to warm  
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.  
Leave the player in the warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.  
Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the  
AC power plug can be easily reached.  
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, curtains, 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 self-  
lubricating 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.

of the system.  
Connect the supplied speaker wire of the  
subwoofer to SUBWOOFER OUT on the left  
speaker, green wire to green jack (+” ), white  
wire to white jack (-” ).

safety circuit has been built in. Therefore,  
your system may switch to Standby  
mode automatically under extreme  
conditions. If this happens, let the system  
cool down before reusing it.  
Notes:  
– For optimal sound performance, use the  
supplied speakers.  
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any  
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
