PLUG FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (UK ONLY)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted
with a 5 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that
a 5 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for
your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted
following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely,
as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Should it be
necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted as
shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug. Connect them as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.

If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 5 amp fuse
must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is
used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the
plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

LOUDSPEAKERS

Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of 8
Ohms.

The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals
are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector
or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

USING BARE WIRE CONNECTIONS

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping o approximately 10mm (3/8”)
or less of the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a short circuit. Twist
the wires tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal,
insert the speaker cable, tighten the terminal and secure the cable.

Note: All connections are made using standard loudspeaker cable.

BASIC CONNECTION

The diagram below shows the basic connection of your unit to a CD player, turntable
and a pair of loudspeakers.

USING BANANA PLUGS

We recommend using Banana plugs with our units to establish a secure connection
and ensure there are no loose strands of wire that may cause unwanted noise or
interference.

Once you have stripped the outer insulation of the cable and twisted the wires as
indicated above, securely connect these to your banana plugs, remove the dust cap
from the end of the speaker terminal and push the plug in as far as possible without
applying excessive force.

BI-WIRE CONNECTIONS

If your loudspeakers are equipped with two sets of terminals, then it is possible
to connect them in the bi-wire configuration. Bi-wiring sends the bass and treble
frequencies down separate speaker cables, resulting in a clearer, more focussed

sound.

Note:

– Speaker A and B must both be selected for this type of connection to

work.

– Remove the bi-wire link on the speaker terminals before connecting.

Refer to your speakers’ manual for more information.

Troubleshooting

THERE IS NO POWER

Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely.

Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on.

Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor.

Check the power is on at the front of the unit.

THERE IS NO SOUND

Check the correct input is selected.

Check that the speakers are connected correctly.

If using the tuner, check aerial connections and an available station is selected.

Check the unit is not in mute mode.

Check the Speaker A/B configuration matches your speakers.

AXR100D

THE SOUND IS DISTORTED

Check aerial connections and placements.

Check speaker connections.

THERE IS A HUM COMING FROM THE SPEAKER

Ensure that all cable connections are secure, particularly ground/shield connections
for turntables.

THERE IS UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE AND
INTERFERENCE

Move the unit away from other electrical equipment that is likely to cause
interference.

Re-orientate the aerial.

Ensure that all cable connections are secure, particularly ground/shield connections
for turntables.

THE REMOTE HANDSET WILL NOT FUNCTION

Check that the batteries have not expired.

Ensure that nothing is blocking the remote sensor.

OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

The unit has an over temperature and shutdown protection. If the unit is continuously
used for a long period and over heats, the unit will shut down. Leave the unit ‘OFF’ for
10 minutes to cool down, then turn the unit on to continue listening.

If the problem persists, then the unit is being over driven. Reduce the volume level,
and ensure the unit is in an open ventilated area to resolve the problem.

Use of two pairs of speakers which are less than 8 Ohms can cause overloading and
is not recommended.
