Safety and setting up the record 
player 

Please read through all of the safety instructions carefully 
and keep them for questions that may arise later. Always 
observe all warnings and instructions in this operating 
manual and on the rear of the unit. 

  

Safety 

Caution! 

  The unit should only be connected to a mains 

voltage supply of 230 V~, 50 Hz. Never try to 
operate the unit with a different voltage. 

  The mains plug should only be connected after 

installation has been completed according to the 
instructions. 

  If the mains plug is defective or if the unit exhibits 

other signs of damage, it should not be used. 

  When unplugging the plug from the socket pull on 

the plug itself, not on the cable. 

  Prevent the unit from coming into contact with water 

or moisture. 

  In order to avoid fire hazards and the risk of electric 

shock do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. 

  Do not operate the unit in the vicinity of bathtubs, 

swimming pools or spraying water. 

  Do not place any containers which contain a liquid 

on the unit, such as a flower vase. These could fall 
over and the spilled liquid could lead to severe 
damage or the risk of electric shock. 

  If foreign objects or liquid get into the unit, 

immediately pull the mains plug from the socket. 
Have the unit checked by qualified technicians 
before you operate it again. Otherwise you are at 
risk of receiving an electric shock! 

  Do not open the housing. Otherwise you are at risk 

of receiving an electric shock! 

  Never attempt to repair a defective unit yourself. 

Always contact one of our customer service 
locations. 

  Never open the unit under any circumstances - this 

should only be undertaken by a specialist. 

  Foreign material, e.g. needles, coins, etc., should not 

be allowed to enter the unit. 

  Do not touch the contacts located on the rear of the 

unit with metal objects or your fingers. This could 
result in a short circuit. 

  No open flames, such as burning candles, are 

permitted to sit on the unit.
