the center o ut to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, s uch as benzine,
thinner , or co mmercially available clea ners or anti-
static spra y intended fo r vinyl LPs.
Do not expose dis cs to direct sunlight or h eat sources
such as hot a ir ducts, nor leave i t in a car parked in
direct sunlight.
On safety
C omp letely disconnect the power cor d (mains lead)
from the wall outlet (ma ins) if it is not go ing to be used
for an ext ended per iod of time. When un plugging the
unit, alwa ys gr ip the plug. N ever pull the cord itself .
Should any solid o bject or liquid get into the syst em,
unpl ug the system, and hav e it checked by q ualie d
personnel befor e operating it again.
e AC power co rd can be changed o nly by a qualied
ser vice facility .
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined position o r in
locations tha t are extremely h ot, cold, dusty , dirty , or
humid o r lacking adequate ven tilation, or subject to
vibra tion, direct sunlight or a bright ligh t.
B e careful when placing the unit or s pe akers on
surfaces that ha ve been spe cially treated (fo r example,
with wax, oil, polish) as sta ining or discolora tion of the
surface may r esult.
If the system is br ought directly from a cold t o a warm
location or is p laced in a ver y damp room, mo isture
may co ndense on the lens inside the CD play er , and
cause the system to malfunction. I n this situation,
remo ve the disc, and leave the system t urned on for
about a n hour until the moist ure evaporat es.
On heat buildup
Heat build up on the unit during o peration is normal
and is no t cause for alarm.
