General Safety Instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep the instructions including the warranty, the receipt and, if possible, the box with the internal packing.

• To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of water - for example near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.
• Use the device only for the intended purpose.
• Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.
• When using external mains supply, pay attention to the correct polarity and voltage. Always place the batteries in the correct direction.
• Assemble the device in such a way that the available ventilation openings are not covered.
• Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.
• For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from the manufacturer, our customer service department or a similar qualified person.
• If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the plug socket or take out the batteries.

These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the following:

The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the device which carry dangerously high voltage levels.

The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.

Devices bearing this symbol work with a „class 1 laser“ for tracing the CD. The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened.

Under no circumstances should these safety switches be bypassed or manipulated, as this could result in a danger of exposure to the laser light.

Children

- In order to ensure your children's safety, please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes, polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.

Caution! Do not allow small children to play with the foil as there is a danger of suffocation!

- To protect children from the dangers posed by electrical appliances, make sure that the cable is hanging low and that children do not have access to the appliance.

Special safety information

This device works with a class 1 laser.

Start-up of the device/Introduction

• Read the operating instructions thoroughly before the start-up!
• Select an appropriate location for the device, e.g. a dry, flat, non-slip surface on which the device can be easily operated.
• Make sure that the device is adequately ventilated!

• Connect the loudspeakers to the back of the music centre to the sockets market „Speaker RIGHT and LEFT“ (28).

• Insert the plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. Please ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the type plate.
  • The POWER (1) control lamp shows the function.

Remote Control Batteries (not supplied)

• Open the lid of the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
• Insert 2 batteries of type R6 „AA“ 1,5 V. Ensure that the polarity is correct (see the floor of the battery compartment)!
• If the remote control is not used for a prolonged period, remove the batteries in order to prevent battery acid leaking.
• Different battery types or new and used batteries must not be used together.
• Then close the battery lid.

Warning: batteries are not to be disposed of together with domestic wastes. Dispose of the used batteries at the relevant collection bin or at your dealer's.
