reçu, la facture ou un autre document portant la date d’achat qui prouve que vous avez bien
acheté le produit est considéré comme preuve d’achat. L’attacher à ce manuel d’emploi et les
garder tous les deux à portée de main.

QU’EST-CE QUI EST COUVERT ?
La couverture de la garantie entre en vigueur le jour où vous achetez le produit. Pendant un an
à compter de cette date, tout produit défectueux ou qui ne fonctionne pas sera remplacé par un
produit neuf, renouvelé ou un produit comparable sans frais aucun au consommateur. Un
produit de remplacement n’est couvert que pendant la période non-écoulée de garantie
d’origine. Lorsque la garantie du produit d’origine vient à terme, la garantie du produit de
remplacement est terminée aussi.

QU’EST-CE QUI EST EXCLU DE LA GARANTIE ?
La garantie ne couvre pas :
• les frais de main d’œuvre pour installer ou préparer, pour régler les commandes et pour

installer ou réparer les systèmes d’antenne à l’extérieur du produit.

réparations non-agréées ou d’une autre raison qui ne peut pas être contrôlée par Philips.

d’antenne à l’extérieur de l’unité.

• un produit qui nécessite des modifications ou adaptations pour lui permettre de fonctionner

dans un pays autre que le pays pour lequel il a été conçu, fabriqué, agréé et/ou autorisé, ou
la réparation des produits endommagés par de telles modifications.

• des dommages indirects ou conséquents qui résultent du produit. (Certains états ou

provinces ne permettent pas l’exclusion de dommages indirects ou conséquents. Il est donc
possible que l’exclusion ci-dessus ne s’applique pas au cas présent. Cela comprend, mais de
façon non-limitative, des enregistrements, qu’ils soient protégés ou non par les lois sur les
droits d’auteur).

• un produit utilisé pour des raisons commerciales ou institutionnelles.

OÙ L’ÉCHANGE EST-ELLE PROPOSÉE ?
Le produit pourra s’échanger dans tous les pays où le produit est distribué officiellement par
Philips. Dans des pays où Philips ne distribue pas le produit, l’organisme local de service Philips

documento mostrando que usted compró el producto se considera un comprobante de venta.

¿QUE CUBRE?
La protección bajo la garantía comienza el mismo día en que usted compra el producto. Durante un
año a partir de esta fecha, se reemplazará un producto inoperante o defectuoso con otro nuevo,
renovado o comparable sin cargo alguno. Un producto de reemplazo tiene cobertura sólo durante el
período de la garantía original. Una vez que venza la garantía original del producto, también habrá

controles del cliente o de preferencia e instalación o reparación de los sistemas con antena

país para el que fue concebido, fabricado, aprobado y/o autorizado, o la reparación de
productos dañados por tales modificaciones.

• daños incidentales o consecuentes que resulten del producto. (Algunos estados no permiten

la exclusión por daños incidentales o consecuentes, de modo que es posible que la exclusión
arriba indicada no le sea aplicable a usted. Esto incluye, sin limitarse, materiales
pregrabados con o sin amparo de derechos de autor.)

• una unidad que se ha usado para fines comerciales o institucionales.

¿DONDE SE EFECTUA EL CAMBIO?

1 Make sure local voltage corresponds to the power

adapter's voltage.

2 Connect the power adapter to the 4.5V DC jack of the

player and to the wall outlet.

–  Always disconnect the adapter when you are not using it.

• Do not touch the lens 

A of the CD player.

• Do not expose the unit, batteries or CDs to humidity,

rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight). 

• You can clean the CD player with soft, slightly

dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning
agent as it may have a corrosive effect.

• To clean the CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge

using soft, lint-free cloth. The cleaning agent may damage the disc! Never
write on a CD or attach a sticker to it.

• The lens may cloud over when the unit is moved suddenly from cold to warm

surroundings. In that case, playing a CD is not possible. Leave the CD player in
a warm environment until the moisture has evaporated.

• Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the CD player may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid dropping the unit as this may cause damage.

• All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to

make the packaging easily separable into two mono materials: cardboard (box)
and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

• Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a

specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the
disposal of packing materials, dead batteries and old equipment.

The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
• Getting MP3/WMA files: you can either download legal music files from the

internet to your computer hard disc, or create such files by converting audio
CD files in your computer through appropriate encoder software. (128kbps bit
rate or higher is recommended for MP3 files and 96 kbps bit rate for WMA
files.)

• Creating a MP3/WMA CD: burn the music files from your computer hard

disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner. You can use the by-packed
EXPANIUM CD-ROM (free MusicMatch Jukebox software) to create your
own MP3 CD. For more information, please visit www. musicmatch.com.
