CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE
Your new Compact Disc Player is designed to provide maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service. If this is your first CD player, you will find the compact disc system a major step forward in the science of audio technology. By employing the most sophisticated digital and optical technologies, the compact disc not only offers the ultimate in sound reproduction, it also provides operating features which have never been seen before in audio equipment designed for home,
such as fast access to any track on the disc, very simple programming and armchair control.
Please read this manual thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of your CD Player and help to ensure a trouble free installation. Please unpack your CD Player carefully. We recommend that you save the carton and packing material, as they will be helpful should you ever need to move your unit or return it for service.
Your CD Player is designed to work in a horizontal position and it is important to allow at least two inches of space behind the unit for adequate ventilation and for the cables. To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in front of heating vents, in direct sunlight or in an excessively humid or dusty location.

NOTE
1.In the UK a 13-amp plug is used and should be fitted with a 3 Amp fuse.
2.If a 3-pin plug with earthing contact is used, the Green/Yellow wire must be connected to the E terminal.
3.As with all electrical equipment, it is recommended that the mains plug is removed from the wall socket when not in use.
5.Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
6.Do not attempt to clean the CD player or CD discs with chemical solvents, as this may cause irreparable damage. Use a clean, dry cloth, or specially designed cleaning materials for discs.
7.If the CD player malfunctions, do not open the unit and attempt to repair it yourself. This is a highly technical product and requires specialist service - return it to your dealer.
8.Use batteries (2 x AAA) of the same type in the remote control handset. The use of odd or different type cells will affect its performance. Batteries are supplied.
UK ONLY: FOR ADDED SAFETY, WHEN CONNECTING THE AC MAINS LEAD TO A 3 PIN PLUG USE A 3A FUSE APPROVED BY ASTA TO BS1362 - WITH ASA MARK

CONNECTING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
CAUTION
Before connecting or disconnecting a unit from your audio system, make sure that you switch off the power to each component.
Ensure that you make the correct connections, paying attention to the L (left channel) and R (right channel) marks. Plug in the cable securely. Loose connections will result in unsatisfactory sound reproduction or noise problems.
If this unit interferes with the tuner, switch it off during tuner operation.
1. LINE OUT SOCKETS
Connect one end of the interconnect cable to the unit's AUDIO OUTPUT sockets and the other end to the sockets labelled CD or AUX, or to other line inputs on the amplifier.
Do not connect it to the amplifier's PHONO input if a phono circuit is installed.
2. DIGITAL OUTPUT
This output enables you to connect the CD player to a stand-alone D to A converter in order to change the signal into a stereo analogue one. The digital output can be accessed via the co-axial SPDIF socket on the rear panel.
3. AC POWER SOCKET, IEC TYPE
220V-240 V AC or 110V-120 V AC
4. AC POWER CORD
After completing the installation and all connections, make sure that the POWER switch on the back panel of the unit is set to OFF (O).
Then plug the power cord into a live AC outlet.
