this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is
not covered by your warranty.You will note that this system is equipped with a
polarizedAC power plug having one
blade wider than the other. This is a
safety feature. If this plug does not
AC Outlet
fit into your existing AC outlet, do
not try to defeat this safety feature
by filing the wide blade to make it fit
into your outlet. If this plug will not
AC Plug
fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You
should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.
AC Operation
1.) Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.
2.) Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
COMPACT DISC CARE
-
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and
lift the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.
-
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc s recorded surface
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
-
-
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
CARE OF THE CABINETS
-
If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.
-
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never
use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.
CAUTION
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
