Important notes for users in the U.K. 3 Mains plug This apparatus is tted with an approved 13- Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:
1 2 Remove fuse cover and fuse. Fix the new fuse which should be a BS1362 5-
Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. Ret the fuse cover. If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug should be tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, it should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note:The severed plug must be disposed, so as to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being inserted into another 13-Amp socket. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are colored using the fol-
lowing codes: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colors may not correspond with the color markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or colored black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or colored red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or col-
ored green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead and not simply over the two wires.

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. I H S L G N E 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. Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. 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 cant hear whats around you. You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. Important (for models supplied with headphones):
Philips guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory bodies only with the original model of provided headphones. In case this one needs replacement, we recommend that you contact your retailer to order a model identical to that of the original, provided by Philips.
