This unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of compact discs bearing the
D mark. No other discs can be
reproduced.
OAlways place the compact disc in the
disc tray with the label facing upward.
(Compact discs can be played only on
one side.)
OTo remove a disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
OFingermarks and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc's recorded
surface with a soft cloth.
Wipe radially
ONever use such chemicals as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine
or thinner to clean compact discs. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to
the disc's plastic surface.
ODiscs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
ODo not expose discs to direct sunlight or
high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures can
warp the disc.
ODo not stick paper or write anything with
a ballpoint pen on the surface of the
label side.
OChoose the installation location of your
unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct
sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to
vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold
or moisture. Keep away from such
sources of hum as transformers or
motors.
ODo not open the cabinet as this might
result in damage to the circuitry or
electrical shock. If a foreign object
should get into the unit, contact your
dealer.
OBe sure not to handle discs with dirty
fingers. Never insert a disc which has a
crack on the surface.
OWhen removing the power plug from the
wall outlet, always pull directly on the
plug, never yank the cord.
OTo keep the laser-pickup clean, do not
touch it, and do not forget to close the
disc tray.
ODo not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
OKeep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

Read This Before Operating
Handling the Discs
Beware of condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is
moved from a cold to a warm place or
used after sudden temperature
change, there is the danger of
condensation. Water vapor in the air
could condense on the mechanism or
the laser pickup. If droplets of water
form on these parts, correct playback
will be impossible because the laser
will not read the information from the
disc correctly.
To prevent this, if you are going to use
the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should
leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after
plugging it into an AC outlet depending
on the amount of condensation. If this
is done, the player will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach
a power point, then obtain an
appropriate safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any
connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the
safety earth symbo
ç or coloured
GREEN or GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wires in the mains lead on this
product are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
BLUE:
NEUTRAL
BROWN:
LIVE
As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a
correctly rated approved type should
be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse
cover.
