Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.
If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.
WARNING: Do not open the set as there is a risk of electric shock. Under no
circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
Safety information
• Place the set on a hard, flat and stable surface
so that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15 cm between the ventilation holes and sur-
rounding surfaces is necessary to prevent
heat build-up.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain
self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.
•To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.
CD player and CD handling
• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
• The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
•Always close the CD door to avoid dust on
the lens.
•To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
