Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
●Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on
the lens.
●No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
●No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
●The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
Avoid condensation problem
●The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
