Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center out to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine, thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave them in
a car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not
going to be used for an extended period of
time. When unplugging the unit, always grip
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid get into the
system, unplug the system, and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it again.
The AC power cord can be changed only by a
qualified service facility.
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined position
or in locations that are extremely hot, cold,
dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking adequate
ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct
sunlight or a bright light.
Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on
surfaces that have been specially treated (for
example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
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
inside the CD player, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the disc,
and leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not cause for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded,
and the picture on nearby TV sets may become
magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off
the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the speakers
far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder,
or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
