ES30_072905.p65 29/7/2005, 16:414
Positioning The Main Unit And Speakers
The main unit and the speakers are designed to be used on a shelf, desk, table or
stand. The main unit is shipped with two plastic legs installed for added stability
when the system is used on a flat surface. These two plastic legs allow the main
unit to “lean backward” slightly and prevent it from tipping forward when the CD
door is opened.
IMPORTANT: THESE TWO PLASTIC LEGS MUST REMAIN ON THE MAIN
UNIT FOR TABLE-TOP, DESK-TOP, OR SHELF OPERATION.
Note: If this system is to be used on a bookshelf, or inside a cabinet, be sure
to allow at least 3 inches clearance between the top of the main unit and the
shelf above the unit so that the CD door can open fully without interference. If
the CD door encounters an obstruction as it is opening, the door will close
automatically.
Do not block the ventilation openings on the top or back of the main unit.

ES30_072905.p65 29/7/2005, 16:415
Speaker Connections
Connect the speakers to the Red (+) and Black (–) terminals on right side panel of
the unit as shown below.
Press the Red (+) or Black (–) terminal tab, insert wire, release tab to hold wire in
place.
The speakers may be placed close to the main unit or as far apart as the cables
will allow. Please leave a gap of at least 1/4” between the main unit and speakers
to prevent any vibration in the speakers from causing the CD player to skip.
Note: The speakers are not magnetically shielded. They should not be placed
directly on top of, or next to, a TV set. The magnets in the speakers could
cause color distortion on the TV screen if the speakers are too close to the
TV.
The entire system may also be wall-mounted if desired. Wall-mounting
instructions can be found at the end of this manual.

Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or c leaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

AC Outlet
Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz power supply only. Connecting
this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such
damage is not covered by your warranty.
Make sure that you connect this system to an AC outlet that is always “live”. Do not
connect this system to an AC outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
Note: This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not
fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should
have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file
the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet.
This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Playing Compact Discs
Important: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R)
and CD ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs
may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks
from the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability
may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use
for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an
indication of any problems with your player.
Caution!!
Never open or close the CD door rapidly by hand - doing so will damage the
mechanism.
In an emergency situation (eg. An AC power failure) where you have no option
other than to open or close the door by hand, do so very slowly and very gently.
APPLY ONLY LIGHT PRESSURE - NEVER USE FORCE ON THE DOOR.

Connect the main unit to the AC outlet and pos ition it against the wall in your
desired location. Make sure that the plug remains firmly and full inserted into the
outlet. There should be just enough slack in the power cord so that the plug can be
easily removed from, and reconnected to the AC outlet.
• Have someone hold the main unit against the wall in the desired location and
make a pencil mark on the wall to indicate center point of the top edge of the
cabinet.

• Although all major functions of this system can be operated by the remote
control, you must still load and unload your CD manually. Therefore the main
unit should be mounted at a height that is convenient and comfortable for
changing discs.
Important: The front cover requires 3" clearance to open fully. If you plan to
mount the unit under a shelf, in a c abinet. etc, you must allow at least 3"
clearance above the unit so that the door can open completely without
obs truction.
If the front c over encounters some obstruction as it is opening, the motor will
rev erse automatically and the door will close immediately.

Template Instructions
1.) Select the desired location for wall mounting after carefully reviewing the
"General Precautions and Recommendations" of the wall mounting
instructions.
2.) Tape the template to the wall, or other surface, in the desired location. Align
the top edge of the template with the pencil mark you made on the wall. Be
sure to allow at least 3" clearance above the main unit, for the CD door to open
fully.
3.) Make sure that the template is level.
4.) Use an awl, ice pick, a nail or similar pointed tool, and push through the template
to make a small starter hole in the wall surface as indicated by the
"Drill Hole Here" marks. Then remove the template from the wall.
5.) Before You Drill: Make sure that there are no water pipes, gas pipes,
electrical wires on other obstructions or hazards behind the wall in your
chosen mounting location. If you are not sure about this and don't know
how to check, perhaps you should consider having the system mounted
by someone with the necessary experience.
6.) Make sure that you are using the correct type of anchors for your wall.
• If the wall material is Sheetrock® (sometimes called wall-board, gypsum-board,
or plaster-board) you can use plastic ‘hollow-wall anchors’.
• If your wall is solid plaster, concrete, brick, or similar solid material, use the
appropriate type of ‘solid-wall anchors’.
• If your wall is solid wood, you may be able to use round-head wood screws
without anchors.
Important: If you have no experience installing wall anchors you should have
this system mounted by someone who does have the proper experience.
Whichever type anchors you use, make sure that the diameter of the screw
heads is at least 1/4”.
Follow the instructions supplied with the wall anchors to determine the proper size
drill bit to use in your electric drill. After installing the proper size bit, drill holes in
the wall surface at the 4 locations where you made the starter holes in Step 4.
37
ES30_072905.p65 29/7/2005, 16:4137
7.) Insert the tip of the anchor into each hole and use a hammer to tap the anchors
all the way in until they are flush with the wall surface.
Anchor
Wall Surface
8.) Insert the screw into the anchor and tighten the screw until it touches the collar
on the anchor. This causes the anchor to spread inside the wall and locks the
anchor in place.
9.) Loosen the screw until there is a gap about 1/8" between the screw head and
the wall.
1/8” Gap

ES30_072905.p65 29/7/2005, 16:4138
10.) Position the main unit over the two screw heads so that the heads of the
screws fit into bottom of each "Keyhole" on the back cabinet. When the two
screw heads are inside the keyholes, slide the main unit slightly downward
until each screw head is in the top of the keyhole.
Insert Screw Head
Into Keyhole.
Slide Unit Downward
To Lock Unit In Position.
If the main unit is still loose, you probably left too large a gap between the screw
head and the wall. Slide the unit slightly upward and take it off the mounting screws.
Tighten one or both screws slightly and remount the unit. It should fit snugly against
the wall and not move when you are loading or unloading CD.
Follow a similar proc edure to mount each speaker.
Notes:
• It will be necessary to remove the main unit from the wall to connect the
speaker wires. If there is any excess speaker wire hanging between the
main unit and the speakers, remove the speaker from the wall and use a
twist-tie to secure the excess wire to the lower metal bracket on the back of
the speaker cabinet, then remount the speakers.
• You can also purchase plastic cord covers at most home improvement
centers. These covers can easily be cut to any desired length and attached
to the wall to conceal the speaker wires and AC power cord if necess ary.
The covers c an also be painted or wall papered to match the surrounding
wall surface.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Compact Disc Care
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
Care Of The Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax,
polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.
Caution
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
