SET-UP AND SAFETY

______________________________________________

Please note the following information when setting up the system:

The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is
expressly prohibited.

If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please
ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of
space at the side, above and behind the device.
Please note when setting up the hi-fi system that furniture surfaces are coated
with various types of paint and plastic, which often contain chemical additives.
These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave stains
on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example
when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before
using it.

The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outside, please
ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.

Do not place any vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on the hi-fi system.
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system. Do not
insert any foreign objects in the CD or tape compartment.

Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer
will not accept any liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the hi-fi system is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the 
antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
