PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit.

Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.

We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure way to protect the unit from damage in transit.

If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly.

POWER SOURCE

This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC house current. Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty. You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one

blade wider than the other. This is a safety

feature. If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this

safety feature by filing the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will

not fit into your outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

AC Operation

1.Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.

2.Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:

1.Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

2.Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

3.Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.

4.If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

5.Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer's directions.)

Installation

For shelf mounting, extend the left and right flaps at the back of the unit and place it on a strong flat surface.

Note - Leave at least 6 inches (15cm) above the unit for the door to open without being obstructed.

Finally, position the speakers to the left and right of the unit.

Connections

Connect the speakers to the red and black terminals on the back of the unit as shown below. (Hold down red or black terminal flap, insert wire, release flap.)

TO RIGHT	TO LEFT
SPEAKER	SPEAKER

Optional: connect any additional equipment to the back panel sockets as follows:

Plug your *playback equipment (e.g. MiniDisc or cassette player) into the AUX sockets.

Plug your recording equipment (e.g. MiniDisc or cassette recorder) into the LINE OUT sockets.

*Other examples of playback equipment may include your TV, video recorder or satellite receiver, your computer or games console, or DVD/DAT player.

Always refer to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Installation

FM antenna wire

The single trailing wire from the unit is the FM antenna. This should be positioned for best FM reception (do this when you're tuning - in to radio stations–see page 18).

Installing the remote control batteries

At the back of the remote, press the indented area and slide open the battery compartment.

Install 2 batteries type AA (not included). Make sure the direction of the batteries is as shown above.

Once the batteries are inserted, replace the battery cover.

If the remote stops working, it's most likely that the batteries need replacing. Always use leakproof batteries.

Dispose of old batteries safely. Do not throw them in the fire.

If you're not using the remote for a few weeks or more, remove the batteries.

Note–Most functions can be operated by the remote.

However, the controls are also present on the front panel (below the flap). In general you shouldn't need to lower the flap unless you lose the remote.

Installation

Ready to switch on

Plug the unit into the AC outlet.

On the front panel, the light above the POWER button will be red to indicate that the unit is in standby. (Standby means pluggedin but not switched on.)

Switch the unit on by pressing the POWER button . The red light will change to green.

(To switch the unit back to standby, simply press again.)

The unit is now ready to use.

Note–If necessary, peel off the label entitled 'IMPORTANT NOTES' on the outside of the CD door.

Cleaning & Maintenance

This unit is maintenance free - do not use oil or other lubricants on any of the moving parts.

You may clean the main unit and speakers' cabinets periodically using a slightly dampened cloth.

Setting the clock

1.Press to switch the unit on.

2.Press the AUX button. (Note the time setting appears at the centre of the display.)

3.Press MEMORY so that the hour setting flashes, then immediately press + or - to set the correct hour.

Note – check the AM / PM indicator (to the left of the hour) to ensure you make the correct setting.

4.Press MEMORY repeatedly so that the minute setting flashes, then immediately press + or - to set the correct minute.

After the display has stopped flashing, the clock is set.

Note–If ever you find the whole time display is flashing, this means that the clock needs to be reset (possibly due to the unit having been disconnected from the AC outlet, or a power interruption).
