10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use with only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug
having been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

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.

LOUDSPEAKER TERMINALS
Two sets of loudspeaker terminals are available, A (main loudspeaker terminals,
top row) and B (secondary switchable loudspeaker terminals, bottom row).
Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the Left positive and
negative terminals, and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the Right
positive and negative terminals.
In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the
negative output.
Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire are shorting speaker
outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been tightened
adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the sound quality
to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.
The use of A and B speakers affords you an easy and inexpensive way to create a
simple multi-room system.
Note: When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance of
8 ohms.
