The type plate (which contains the serial  
number) is located at the rear of the system.  
Recording is permissible if copyright or other  
rights of third parties are not infringed.  
This product complies with the radio  
interference requirements of the European  
Community.  
• 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. The type  
plate is located at the rear of your system.  
• When the system is switched on, do not move it  
around.  
• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your  
system.  
Environmental Information  
All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted.  
We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily  
separable into three mono-materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polythene (bags, protective  
foam sheet).  
• Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain,  
sand or heat sources.  
• Under no circumstances should you repair the system  
yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty!  
• 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 CD unit inside the  
system. Should this occur, the CD player will not  
operate normally. Leave the power on for about one  
hour with no disc in the system until normal playback  
is possible.  
• Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected  
problems. See whether these problems disappear if  
you unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again  
after a few seconds.  
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.  
Accessories (Supplied)

Batteries (2 x AAA size) for remote control  
AM loop antenna  
FM antenna wire  
AC power cord

To disconnect the system from the power supply  
completely, remove the AC power plug from the
