In the interests of your own safety, please read right
through these operating instructions carefully before you
attempt to use your new equipment. Note in particular the
information regarding setting up and operating the unit,
and the Safety Notes.
The machine must be set up in such a way that it is
impossible to touch any of the electrical connections -
especially for children. Please read and observe the
notes and information in the chapter 'Installation, Using
the system for the first time, Safety notes'.
The power supply required for this machine is printed on the
mains supply socket. The unit must never be connected to a
power supply which does not meet this specification.
Mains cables must be deployed in such a way that there
is no danger of them being damaged (e.g. by treading on
them or placing furniture on them). Take particular care
with connectors, mains distribution panels and the
machine's connectors.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the
case. Protect the machine from water: never place a flower
vase or similar vessel containing water on the case.
This device should never be used without proper
supervision. The VSP 1250 R should be set up well out
of the reach of small children. This applies to all electrical
equipment.
The On/Off button on the front panel is not a mains
isolation switch, and a few of the machine's sub-
assemblies remain connected to the mains supply. If
you know that the system will not be used for a
protracted period, we recommend that you isolate it
from the mains power supply by disconnecting the
mains plug from the wall socket.
CAUTION ! LETHAL HAZARD !
The unit should only ever be opened by a
qualified specialist technician. Mains voltage is
present inside the unit, and there is a risk of
lethal electric shock.
Repairs and fuse replacements should be
entrusted to an authorised specialist
workshop.
With the exception of the connections and procedures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may be
carried out on the VSP 1250 R by unqualified persons.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not
functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the mains
plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised
specialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the
power supply, the cable network or in aerial systems, as
may occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due
to static discharges.
Special power supply units and excess voltage protectors
such as the 'Power Bar' mains distribution panel offer
some degree of protection from damage to equipment due
to the hazards described above. However, if you require
absolute security from damage due to excess voltage, the
only solution is to disconnect the unit from the mains power
supply and any aerial systems. If you believe there is a
danger of excess voltage (e.g. when an electrical storm is
building up) disconnect the VSP 1250 R from the mains
supply and the aerial socket.
Safety notes
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the
unit is connected must meet the currently valid
regulations, and must be installed by an approved
electrical installer.
Approved usage
This device is designed exclusively for reproducing
sound and / or pictures in the domestic environment. It
must be operated in a dry indoor room which meets all
the recommendations stated in these instructions.
Where the equipment is to be used for other purposes,
especially in the medical field or for any purpose where
safety is an issue, it is essential to establish the unit's
suitability for this application with the manufacturer, and
to obtain prior written approval for such usage.
equipment which includes a radio or television
receiving section must be operated within the regulations
laid down by the Telecommunications authorities in the
country in which it is used. This unit may only be used to
receive or reproduce those transmissions which are
intended for public consumption. The reception or
reproduction of other transmissions (e.g. police radio) is
prohibited.
Device approval and conformity with EU
directives
In its original form, this device fulfils the currently valid
European technical regulations. It is approved for use in
the EC in accordance with the relevant regulations.
The machine carries the
declares that it conforms with the EU directives
89/336/EWG, modified by 91/263/EWG and 93/68/EWG
and 73/23/EWG, modified by 93/68/EWG and the
national laws derived from these directives.
The original, unmodified factory serial number must be
present on the outside of the machine, and must be
clearly legible. The serial number is part of our conformity
declaration, and therefore of the operational approval for
the machine.
Serial numbers on the machine and in the original
paperwork (especially the quality control and guarantee
certificates) must not be removed or modified, and must
be identical.
Infringement
conformity approval of , and operation of the
machine within the EU is then prohibited, and punishable
under currently valid EU and national laws.
Any modifications to the machine, or repairs or other
interventions carried out on the machine by persons not
authorised by or other third parties, invalidate the
machine's approval and operational permit.
The machine may only be connected to original
accessories or such auxiliary equipment which is itself
approved, and which satisfies all currently valid statutory
regulations.
When used in conjunction with auxiliary equipment, or as
part of a system, the unit must only be employed for the
usage stated in the chapter 'Approved usage'.
