shock. For the safety of everyone in your
household, please do not remove product
covering.
The 'exclamation mark' calls attention to
features for which you should read the enclosed
literature closely to prevent operating and
maintenance problems.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric
shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to
rain or moisture and objects lled with liquids,
such as vases, should not be placed on this
apparatus.
CAUTION:To prevent electric shock, fully
insert the plug. (For regions with polarized
plugs:To prevent electric shock, match wide
blade to wide slot.)
Important safety instructions
Risk of electric shock or re!
• Never expose the product and accessories
to rain or water. Never place liquid
containers, such as vases, near the product.
If liquids are spilt on or into the product,
disconnect it from the power outlet
immediately. Contact the Consumer Care
to have the product checked before use.
• Never place the product and accessories
near naked ames or other heat sources,
including direct sunlight.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the product.
• Where the mains plug or an appliance
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
• Disconnect the product from the power
outlet before lightning storms.
• When you disconnect the power cord,
always pull the plug, never the cable.
Risk of short circuit or re!
• Before you connect the product to the
power outlet, make sure that the power
voltage matches the value printed on the
back of the product. Never connect the
product to the power outlet if the voltage
is different.
• Never expose the remote control or
batteries to rain, water, sunshine, or
excessive heat.
• Avoid force coming onto power plugs.
Loose power plugs can cause arcing or re.
Risk of injury or damage to the product!
• Use only power supplies listed in the user
manual.
• Visible and invisible laser radiation when
open. Avoid exposure to beam.
• Do not touch the disc optical lens inside
the disc compartment.
• Never place the product or any objects
on power cords or on other electrical
equipment.

3EN
• If the product is transported in
temperatures below 5°C, unpack the
product and wait until its temperature
matches room temperature before
connecting it to the power outlet.
Risk of overheating!
• Never install this product in a conned
space. Always leave a space of at least four
inches around the product for ventilation.
• Make sure that curtains or other objects
never cover the ventilation slots on the
product.
Risk of contamination!
• Remove the battery if it is exhausted or if
the remote control is not to be used for
an extended period of time.
• Batteries contain chemical substances, they
should be disposed of properly.
Warning
•Never remove the casing of this apparatus.
•Never lubricate any part of this apparatus.
•Never place this apparatus on other electrical

•Never look into the laser beam inside this apparatus.
•Ensure that you always have easy access to the power
cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect this apparatus from
the power.
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing.This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute.The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing.To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even
at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Note
•The type plate is located on the back of the product.
