GENERAL INFORMATION
This receiver is supplied including:

(only with MX 975D)

Clean the receiver with a soft,
slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do
not use any cleaning agents as they
may have a corrosive effect.
Do not expose the receiver to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).
If you have stacked the components of your system, the
receiver must be on top. Place the receiver on a flat, hard,
stabile surface. Do not cover any vents and leave 50 cm
(20 inches) above and 10 cm (4 inches) to the left and right of
the receiver clear for ventilation.
For good reception the loop antenna should not be placed on
top of or beneath VCRs, CD recorders, DVD players, TVs and
other radiation sources.
All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have
tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three mono
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) 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.
