cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

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.

• Remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to prevent the CD

door from opening in transit.

• Unwind the lead wire FM antenna on the back of the unit and extend it to its full

length.

• The unit is shipped with a “dummy CD” display card in the CD player. This

“dummy CD” card must be removed before you can use the CD player.
Refer to the “PLAYING COMPACT DISCS” instructions on Page 18.

SPEAKER CONNECTION

Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker jack on the back panel of the
main unit. Make sure that the left speaker plug is connected to the left (L)speaker
jack and the right speaker plug is connected to the right (R) speaker jack.

AM Loop Antenna

This system includes an external AM Loop antenna. Assemble the AM loop antenna

and then connect the wire from the antenna to the AM antenna terminal on the

back of the set as shown. You may have to vary the position and direction of this

AM Loop antenna until you find the position that provides the clearest reception for

each of your favorite AM stations.

POWER SOURCE

AC Outlet

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 s afety
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 out-dated non­polarized 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.

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.

10

ES58_012904.p65 29/1/2004, 15:2410

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY

•Point the remote control at the Remote SENSOR.

•The functions of the buttons on the remote control are the same as the
corresponding controls on the main unit.

•When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared
Remote Sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.

•The maximum effective distance for remote control operation is about 15 feet.

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.)

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable
(CD-R) and CD Rewriteable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of
CD-R and CD-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

the player reads the table of contents on the disc. Within a few seconds the
disc will stop spinning and the display will show the total playing time and total
tracks on the disc.

Track Number Playing Time

To Operate The Sleep Timer:

1.) Turn the system ‘On’ and operate either the Tuner or CD function as usual.

after 90 minutes. The SLEEP indicator begins flashing.

by 10 minutes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

COMPACT DISC CARE

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and
lift the disc outs, 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 CABINETS

• If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.

• If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never
use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.

CAUTION

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
