IMPORTANT!  
Safety Information  
PLEASE NOTETHATTHE VOLTAGE  
SELECTOR LOCATED ATTHE REAR OF  
THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM  
THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIESTHAT  
OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUST  
TO 110V-127V BEFOREYOU SWITCH ON  
THE SYSTEM.  
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.  
Place the system on a flat, hard and stable  
surface.  
Environmental Information  
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We  
have tried to make the packaging easy to  
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
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.  
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.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall  
be placed on the apparatus.  
Supplied accessories  
– Remote control  
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control  
– MW loop antenna  
– FM wire antenna (not for all versions)  
– OneVideo cinch cable  
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.  
– 2 speaker boxes  
– AC adapter (not for all versions)  
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.
