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.

Safety Information
¶Before operating the player, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your player 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 player.
¶When the player is switched on, do not move it
around.
¶Place the player on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).
¶Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your player. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from the each side.
¶Do not expose the player to excessive moisture,
rain, sand or heat sources.
¶Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the
warranty!
¶If the player 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 disc
unit inside the player. Should this occur, the CD
player will not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
player 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 player from the power
supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall socket.
