Safety Precautions

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using or moving your micro component system.

Ambient operating conditions: Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C Humidity 10-75%

Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation or other heat sources. This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

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 lightning could damage the unit.

Remove the batteries from the remote control, if not used for any extended period. 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.

Cleaning Your Micro Component System

To obtain the best possible results from your micro component 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

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 sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
◆ Always use compact discs marked

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

◆ Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taut.
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.
When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.
- Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.
