PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be 
sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions 
in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the 
safety suggestions below. 

INSTALLATION
1  Water and Moisture 

- Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, 

washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat 

- Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, 

stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in 
temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F). 

3  Mounting surface 

- Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 

4 Ventilation 

- The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that 

proper ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and 
the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side. Do not place on a bed, rug, 
or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. Do not install the unit 
in a bookcase cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded. 

5  Objects and liquid entry 

- Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the 

unit through the ventilation openings. 

Carts and stands 

- When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the 

unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and 
uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to overturn or fall. 

7  Wall or ceiling mounting 

- The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, 

unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

WARNING! 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS 
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE

This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference 
requirements of EEC DIRECTIVE 89/68/EEC and 73/23/EEC
 

ELECTRIC POWER
1  Power Sources 

- Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the 

Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

2 Polarization 

- As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC 

power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is 
difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug 
over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a 
qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. Avoid defeating the 
safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3  AC power cord 

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC 

power plug. Do not pull the cord itself. Never handle the AC power plug with wet 
hands, as this could result in fire or shock. Power cords should be routed to avoid 
being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord 
from the unit to the power socket. Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension 
cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock. 

4  Extension cord 

- To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power 

plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug 
can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5  When not in use 

- The primary method of isolating the turntable from the mains 

supply is to disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the mains plug remains 
accessible at all times. Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit 
will not be used for several months or more.

INFORMATION ABOUT COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE BATTERIES 
(DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL 
OF EUROPEAN UNION) (FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS ONLY)

Batteries bearing any of these symbols indicate that they 
should be treated as “separate collection” and not as 
municipal waste. It is encouraged that necessary measures 
are implemented to maximize the separate collection of 
waste batteries and to minimize the disposal of batteries 
as mixed municipal waste. 

End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste batteries 
as unsorted municipal waste. In order to achieve a high 
level of recycling waste batteries, discard waste batteries 
separately and properly through an accessible collection 

point in your vicinity. For more information about collection and recycling of waste 
batteries, please contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service or the 
point of sale where you purchased the items.

By ensuring compliance and conformance to proper disposal of waste batteries, 
potential hazardous effects on human health is prevented and the negative impact of 
batteries and waste batteries on the environment is minimized, thus contributing to 
the protection, preservation and quality improvement of the environment.
