• Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, CDs, batteries or cassettes to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum
gap of 15 cms between the ventilation holes and surrounding
surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating
bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois
leather. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the
housing.

never be touched.
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud
over. Playing a CD is then not possible. Do not attempt to clean
the lens but leave the set in a warm environment until the
moisture evaporates.
• Use only Digital Audio CDs
• To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while
lifting the CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace
the CD back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the centre
towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use
cleaning agents as they may damage the disc.
•
Never write on a CD or attach stickers to it.
