CARE AND SAFETY

ENGLISH
To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and enjoyment, please
observe the following instructions.
This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Protect the device and the CDs from rain, moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand and
heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or inside parked cars in the sun.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when positioning the device. There must be a free
space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do not place objects on the ventilation slots. Do not
cover the device with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
Do not place any vessels containing liquids (for example, vases) on the device. Do not place
any naked flames such as candles on the device. Do not insert objects into the CD compart-
ment of the device.
Only use the device in a moderate climate.
Bringing the device in from the cold can cause condensation on the CD lens, which prevents it
from playing. Give the device time to warm up.
The CD part contains self-lubricating bearings, which must not be oiled or greased.
Never open the device casing under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for
damage caused by incorrect handling.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can
be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the power plug during a thun-
der storm.
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing. Clean the device with a
clean, dry cloth.
When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is often coated with various
types of varnish and plastic. Many of these contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of
the device, leaving marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible
to remove.
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
Note:
If malfunctions occur due to static electricity charges or fast transient (burst), reset the
device. To do this, pull out the power plug and connect it again after a few seconds.

General information on laser devices

You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here on the bottom of the device.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is designed in such a way as to ensure
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
that the maximum permissible emission value cannot be exceeded under any circum-
stances.
If operating devices or methods other than those specified here are employed, it may lead to
dangerous exposure to emissions.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and the safety locking
mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radiation.
