Environmental information
All redundant packing material has been
omitted.We have done our utmost to
make the packaging easily separable into
three mono materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene
(bags,protective foam sheet).
Your unit consists of materials which can be
recycled if disassembled by a specialized
company.Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packing
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Maintenance
Clean the unit with a
soft,slightly dampened,
lint-free cloth.Do not
use any cleaning agents
as they may have a
corrosive effect.
Do not expose the unit,
batteries or discs to
humidity, rain,sand or
excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or
direct sunlight).
Always keep the trays of
your unit closed to protect the lens from
dust.If the unit fails to read discs correctly
use a commonly available cleaning-CD to
clean the lens before submitting the unit to
repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy
the lens.
The lens may cloud over when the unit is
moved from cold to warm surroundings.
Playing a disc is not possible then.Leave the
unit in a warm environment until the
moisture evaporates.
Disc handling
To take a disc out of
its box easily, press the
center spindle while lifting
it.After use,always take
the disc out of the unit
and store it in the disc case.
Never attach a sticker to a disc.If you want
to provide a disc with an inscription use a
soft felt-tipped pen and write only on the
printed side.
To clean a disc,wipe it
in a straight line from the
center towards the edge
using a soft,lint-free cloth.
Any cleaning agents may
damage the disc!
Setup
Place the unit on a flat,hard and stable
surface.
Do not position the unit on top of other
equipment that might heat it up (e.g.
receiver or amplifier).
Place the apparatus in a
location with adequate
ventilation to prevent
internal heat build up.
Allow at least 10 cm
(4 inches) clearance
from the rear and the
top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches)
from each side.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
Do not place any sources of danger on the
apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,lighted
candles).
Do not block any ventilation openings.
