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).
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.

Installation

Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
There must be sufficient room in front of the player for the
drawer to open.
In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or
humidity.

Maintenance

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out, in a straight line.
Do not expose the player, batteries or
discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid
dust on the lens.
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.
