Safety Precautions  
Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System  
The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using  
or moving your mini-compact system.  
ENG  
To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact system, you  
must clean the following elements regularly:  
The outer casing  
The compact disc player  
The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)  
Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:  
Before cleaning it  
If you are not going to be using it for a long time  
SPEAKER  
STACK  
PER  
K  
Outer Casing  
Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent.  
Do not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids  
get into the system.  
Ambient operating conditions:  
Do not expose the unit to direct sun  
radiation or other heat sources.  
This could lead to overheating and  
malfunction of the unit.  
Ambient temperature  
Humidity  
+41°F to +95°F  
10-75%  
Compact Disc Player  
Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning  
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.  
Carefully wipe the disc from the Center outward.  
1
Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from  
your local dealer).  
2
If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove  
the batteries to prevent corrosion.  
Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be used in  
an excessively dusty environment or subjected to shocks or extreme  
heat (close to heating appliances or in direct sunlight, etc.).  
If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it from the  
main supply and contact the after-sales service.  
SPEAKER  
STACK  
SPEAKER  
STACK  
Do not place potted plants or vases  
on top of the unit. Moisture entering  
the unit could lead to dangerous  
electric shock and can cause equip-  
ment damage. In such events imme-  
diately disconnect the main plug  
from the socket.  
During thunderstorms, disconnect  
the main plug from the socket.  
Main voltage peaks due to lightning  
could damage the unit.  
Precautions When Using Compact Discs  
Handle your compact discs with care.  
Always hold them by the edges to avoid  
leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.  
When you have finished playing a compac  
disc, always put it back in its case.  
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the  
discs and do not write on the label.  
VOLUME  
UP  
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.  
Store your compact discs in a clean place,  
out of direct sunlight, where they will not be  
DOWN  
exposed to high temperatures.  
COMPACT  
Always use compact discs marked  
.
DIGITAL AUDIO  
Remove the batteries from the remote  
control, if not used for any extended  
period.  
Leaking batteries can cause serious  
damage to the remote control.  
When using headphones, take care  
not to listen at excessive volumes.  
Extended use of headphones at high  
volumes will lead to hearing damage.  
Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes  
Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taut.  
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety  
tab on the upper edge of the cassette.  
To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the  
opening with adhesive tape.  
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.  
Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they  
will not be exposed to high temperatures.  
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape  
mechanism.  
SPEAKER  
STACK  
Do not place heavy items on the main  
unit. Main cable damage can lead to  
damage of the equipment (fire hazard)  
and can cause electric shock.  
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify  
this unit on your own, as it may cause  
malfunction or a risk of electric shock.
