DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA’
Si dichiara che l’apparecchio FWC28 Philips
risponde alle prescrizioni dell’art. 2 comma 1 del
D.M. 28 Agosto 1995
n. 548.
Fatto a Eindhoven , il 28/02/2000
Philips Consumer Electronics
Philips, Glaslaan 2
5616 JB Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater
than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral
(N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over
the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been
omitted. We have tried to make the
packaging easy to separate into three
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene
foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which
can be recycled and reused if disassembled
by a specialized company. Please observe
the local regulations regarding the disposal
of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old equipment.
Accessories (Supplied)
–Remote control
–Batteries (two AA size) for remote

Safety Information
•Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage indicated on the
typeplate (or the voltage indication
beside the voltage selector) of your
system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer. The typeplate is
located at the rear of your system.
•When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.
•Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).
•Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system. Allow at
least 10cm clearance from the rear and
the top of the unit and 5cm from the
each side.
•Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
•Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
CONTENTS GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION
•If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens of the CD unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
CD player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
•Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you unplug
the AC power cord and plug it in again
after a few seconds.
•To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove
the AC power plug from the wall
socket.
