To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs 
and mechanism clean.

Handling discs
•  Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge 

while pressing the center hole lightly.

•  Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
•  Put the disc back in its case after use.
•  Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when 

placing it back in its case.

•  Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, 

and moisture.

To clean the disc:
•  Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center 

to edge.

Cleaning the System
•  Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is 

heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted 
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a 
dry cloth.

•  Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become 

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the 
following:

  – DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
  – DO NOT wipe it strongly.
  – DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
  – DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides 

to it.

  – DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical 
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between 
pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and 
withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any 
way—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended 
operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic 
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the 
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

–  NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case

 

—this could result in a fatal electrical shock.

–  NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!
