ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES (PHONES)
Connect headphones with a 6.3 mm jack plug and
an impedance between 8 and 1000 ohms to the
PHONES socket.
The sound level you hear is dependent on the
impedance of the headphones and the signal level
on the disc itself.___________________________
CARE OF THE DISCS
Although both sides of a disc are protected by a
special coating, it is still advisable to treat the discs
with care:
• Never leave discs lying around, put them back in
their holders immediately after use.
• Neverwrite on the printed side!
• Do not attach any stickers on that side.
• Keep the shiny surface of the disc clean. Use a
soft lint-free cloth and always wipe the disc in a
straight line from centre to edge. You may breath
lightly on the disc first.
The cleaning set SBC 3540, available separately, is
a useful accessory for cleaning your discs. It
contains a protective support, a special disc clean­
ing cloth and a bottle of cleaning fluid.
Warning - Cleaning agents for conventional rec­
ords are not suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc.
Nor may detergents or abrasive cleaning agents be
used.____________________________________
PLAYER MAINTENANCE
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is
sufficient for cleaning the player. Do not use clean­
ing agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc tray should be kept free of dust with a dry
cloth.____________________________________

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
Insufficient familiarity with the combination of a new
product and new discs may lead to faults arising
during use. These are generally caused by simple
errors in operation or external factors.
It is perhaps useful to check the points listed below
and where possible remedy these before taking
your player for repair.
- The transit clamps have not been removed.
- Condensation has formed on the lens of laser
due to a dramatic change in temperature. This wiil
disappear automatically after a some time.
- There is a foreign object in the disc tray.
- The disc has not been inserted with the printed
side up or there is no disc in the tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The player has been connected to the PHONO
socket of the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the
player off and on.
If this also fails to help, do not continue experiment­
ing, but remove the plug from the socket and
consult your dealer.
Certain faults may be caused by a disc. In order to
help determine the precise cause, take the disc with
which the fauit occurred with you when you take the
player for repair.
Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the guaran­
tee!
