How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
O
Fingermarks and dust should be careful-
ly wiped off the disc's recorded surface
with a soft cloth.
Wipe radially
O
Never use such chemicals as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, ben-
zine or thinner to clean compact discs.
Such chemicals will do irreparable dam-
age to the disc's plastic surface.
O
Discs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
O
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures can
warp the disc.
O
Do not stick paper or write anything with
a ballpoint pen on the surface of the

Handling the Discs
Beware of condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is
moved from a cold to a warm place or
used after a sudden temperature
change, there is the danger of conden-
sation. Water vapor in the air could
condense on the mechanism or the
laser pickup. If droplets of water form
on these parts, correct playback will be
impossible because the laser cannot
read the information from the disc cor-
rectly. To prevent this, if you are going
to use the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should
leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after
plugging it into an AC outlet depending
on the amount of condensation. If this
is done, the player will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suit-
able for the power points in your home
or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate
safety approved extension lead or con-
sult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT. DO NOT
make any con-
nection to the larger terminal which is

The wires in the mains lead on this prod-
uct are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal

When replacing the fuse only a correct-
ly rated approved type should be used
and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.
