Safety notes
All components used in this device meet the current
German and European safety norms and standards. For
your own safety please be sure to read right through
these operating instructions. It is especially important to
observe the safety notes and the instructions regarding
setting up and operating the equipment.
We are able to guarantee that our products are of the
highest quality, and meet all our specifications in full,
because we carry out strict quality checking of all
materials, employ painstaking production methods
controlled by highly qualified staff, and carry out a fully
automatic, computer-controlled final quality control
procedure.
Please read right through these operating instructions
carefully before you attempt to use your new equipment.
Note in particular the information regarding setting up
and operating the unit, and the safety notes.
The machine must be set up in such a way that there is
no chance of anyone - especially children - touching the
back panel connections. Be sure to observe the notes
and instructions in the chapter entitled 'Installation,
Using the unit for the first time, Safety notes'.
The power supply required for this machine is printed on
the mains supply socket. The unit must never be
connected to a power supply which does not meet this
specification. If the machine is not to be used for a long
period, disconnect it from the mains supply at the wall
socket.
Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is
no danger of damage from furniture, or people treading
on them etc. Take particular care with mains plugs, dis-
tribution panels and the connections on the back panel of
the player.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the
case through the ventilation slots. Mains voltage is
present inside the unit, and there is a risk of lethal elec-
tric shock.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never
place flower vases or other vessels containing fluids on
top of the case.
Do not exert undue force on the mains connectors.
Caution!
The mains button is not a mains isolation switch.
Even when the green LED is not glowing, parts of the
machine remain connected to the mains power
supply. If the machine is not to be used for a long
period, we recommend that you isolate it from the
mains by pulling out the plug at the wall socket.
This device should never be used without proper
supervision. The machine should be set up well out of the
reach of small children. This applies to all electrical
equipment.

CAUTION ! LETHAL DANGER !
The unit should only ever be opened by a
qualified specialist technician.
Repairs and fuse replacements should be entrusted to an
authorised
 specialist workshop.
With the exception of the connections and procedures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may
be carried out on the machine by unqualified persons.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not
functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the mains
plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised

specialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the
power supply, the cable network or aerial systems, as
may occur due to static discharge or during thunder-
storms (lightning strikes).
Special power supply units and excess voltage protectors
such as the
 'Power Bar' mains dis-tribution panel
offer some degree of protection from damage to
equipment due to the hazards described above.
However, if you require absolute security from damage
due to excess voltage, the only solution is to disconnect
the unit from the mains power supply and any aerial
systems.
If you believe there is a danger of excess voltage (e. g.
when an electrical storm is building up) disconnect the
machine from the mains and the aerial socket.
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the
unit is connected must meet the currently valid
regulations, and must be installed by an approved elec-
trical installer.
Note:
Many insurance companies offer lightning damage cover
for electrical equipment as part of their general
household insurance.
