VOLUME  

UP  

DOWN

Remove the batteries from the
remote control, if not used for any
extended periods.
Leaking batteries can cause serious
damage to the remote control.

When using headphones, take care
not to listen at excessive volumes.
Extended use of headphones at
high volumes will lead to hearing
damage.

Do not place heavy items on the
main lead. Main cable damage can
lead to damage of the equipment (fire
hazard) and can cause electric
shock.

Do not remove any equipment panels.
The inside of the unit 
contains live components, which
cause electric shock.

Do not place potted plants or vases
on top of the unit. Moisture entering
the unit could lead to dangerous
electric shock and can cause
equipment damage. In such events
immediately disconnect the main
plug from the socket.

During thunderstorms, disconnect
the main plug from the socket.
Main voltage peaks due to light-
ning could damage the unit.

Safety Precautions

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken
when using or moving your mini-compact system.

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact
System

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact
system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing
The compact disc player
The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it
If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing
Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do
not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids
get into the system.

Compact Disc Player

Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.
Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.

Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
your local dealer).

Tape Decks

Press Push Eject (

) to open the cassette deck.

Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

Head (1)

Rollers (2)

Drive capstans (3)

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.
Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).
If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.

Precautions When Using Compact
Discs

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by
the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.
When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it
back in its case.
Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write
on the label.
Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.
Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sun-
light, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked         .
