1 Important
Read and understand all instructions before you
use this product. If damage is caused by failure
to follow the instructions, the warranty does
not apply.
Important notes for users in
the U.K.
Mains fuse
This information applies only to products with a
UK mains plug.
This product is tted with an approved non-
molded plug. If you replace the fuse, use one
with:
• the ratings shown on the plug,
• a BS 1362 approval, and
• the ASTA approval mark.
Contact your dealer if you are not sure about
what type of fuse to use.
Caution: To conform with the EMC directive
(2004/108/EC), do not detach the plug from
the power cord.
Howtoconnectaplug
The wires in the power cord are colored as
follows: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
If the colors do not correspond with the colors
on your plug, identify the terminals in your plug
as follows:
1 Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or colored black.
2 Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or colored red.
3 Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
colored green (or green and yellow).
Before you replace the plug cover, make sure
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the cable and not just over the two wires in
the cable.
Safety
Risk of electric shock!
• Never expose the product and accessories
to rain or water. Never place liquid
containers, such as vases, near the product.
If liquids are split on or into the product,
disconnect it from the power outlet
immediately. Contact Philips Consumer
Care to have the product checked before
use.
• Never place the product and accessories
near naked ames or other heat sources,
including direct sunlight.
• Never insert objects into the ventilation
slots or other openings on the product.
• Where the mains plug or an appliance
coupler is used as the disconnect device, it
shall remain readily operable.
• Disconnect the product from the power
outlet before lightning storms.
• When you disconnect the power cord,
always pull the plug, never the cable.
Riskofshortcircuitorre!
• Before you connect the product to the
power outlet, make sure that the power
voltage matches the value printed on the
back of the product.
• Avoid applying pressure on the power
plugs. Loose power plugs can cause arcing
or re.
Risk of injury or damage to the product!
• To avoid exposure to laser radiation, do
not disassemble.
• Do not touch the optical lens inside the
disc compartment.
• Never place the product or any objects
on power cords or on other electrical
equipment.
• If the product is transported in
temperatures below 5°C, unpack the
product and wait until its temperature
matches room temperature before
connecting it to the power outlet.
3EN
Risk of overheating!
• Never install this product in a conned
space. Always leave a space of at least four
inches around the product for ventilation.
Make sure that curtains or other objects
never cover the ventilation slots on the
product.
Risk of contamination!
• Remove the battery if at or if the remote
control is not to be used for a long time.
• Batteries contain chemical substances. They
should be disposed of properly.
Riskofswallowingbatteries!
• The product/remote control may contain a
coin type battery, which can be swallowed.
Keep the battery out of reach of children
at all times!
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even
at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Besuretoobservethefollowingguidelines
whenusingyourheadphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Note
•The type plate is located on the bottom of the product.
