IMPORTANT
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the
value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an
ASTA or BS approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover
is detachable never use the plug with cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are
available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power
points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate
safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person,
preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately,
having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue
Brown
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter or coloured
BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter or coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green and yellow.
Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable plug already fitted, which may

SETTING UP AND CONNECTING THE STEREO SYSTEM
Before switching on the stereo system...
... please read carefully the instructions
on the following pages.
The functional arrangement of the
controls makes the stereo system
easier to operate.
To make use of all the options available,
you should nevertheless study these
instructions carefully.
Important!
Unauthorized opening of the equipment
will invalidate any warranty claims.
Note:
To help your dealer identify your
stereo system if after sales service
is required, please quote the serial
number inscribed on the name
plate on the rear of the stereo
system.
Installation
You must take the room layout into
consideration (arrangement of power
and antenna sockets).
Switch off the unit before connecting.
Make sure all the connecting are
correct. Plug-in connections which are
too loose can cause operational
malfunctions.
10
Page 11
SETTING UP AND CONNECTING THE STEREO SYSTEM
Place your set on a stable, horizontal,
vibration-free surface where there is
no risk of the set falling over or being
subjected to vibrations. - This could
otherwise damage the sensitive
electronics inside. -
Any heat generated by the set must be
free to escape. - Any heat build-up
may cause the electronic components
to malfunction or fail. -
Therefore, if you place your set in a
cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that there
is enough room for heat to dissipate and
air to circulate around the set. If in doubt,
ask your dealer.
The ventilation slits at the rear of the set
must always be free. Do not cover them
by curtains, mats or newspapers. In
addition, avoid placing your set next to
radiators or in sunlight where additional
heat could affect the set.
Protect your set from humidity. Do not
place your set under a window,
otherwise, in the worst case, rain could
fall onto the set. Do not place any
containers filled with water on the set,
e.g. flower vases, potted plants, etc. If
the container should fall over and water
enters the set, damage is unavoidable.
However, if water does enter the set,
immediately pull out the power plug and
inform your dealer. He will then check the
set before you use it again.
- Liquid entering the set could cause
dangerous short-circuits which, in the
worst case, could cause a fire. -
If you bring your set from a cold place to
a warm place, leave the set switched off
for a few hours. Condensation could form
inside the set.
Do not allow any objects to drop into the
set through the ventilation slits. They
could come into contact with parts
conducting electricity.
- This could lead to short-circuits.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the set, switch of the
STANDBY switch on the set and
disconnect the set from the mains.
Clean the housing of the set and the
remote control unit using a moist cloth.
Do not use any solvents, white spirits,
thinners, etc. Otherwise, they could damage
the surface for the set.
Power connection
Insert the power plug in the wall socket.
When you disconnect the mains plug
from a socket, do not pull the cable,
always pull the plug.
AM ANTENNA CONNECTION
Plug the supplied loop antenna to AM
antenna socket 30 to receive AM radio
broadcast.
DAB/FM ANTENNA CONNECTION
Plug the supplied auxiliary antenna to
DAB/FM antenna socket 31 for DAB/FM
reception. In some areas where an outside
4-element aerial antenna is essential to
obtain good reception quality, connect the
stereo system to the outside antenna by
plugging the antenna cable (coaxial, 75
ohms) into the DAB/FM antenna socket 31
at the rear of the stereo system.

DRC Value
DRC (Dynamic Range Control) enables you to alter the dynamic
range of the received audio (dependent on broadcast material)
by making the quieter sounds in a broadcast more audible. This
may be useful in noisy environments or particularly quiet parts
of programmes. The DRC level of a broadcast is set by a
broadcaster and transmitted with the service. Changing this
DRC value enables you to apply a scaling factor to this level.
When you select this option you see the current DRC value
on the top line of the display and a scroll list on the bottom.
Press "MENU" button 5 or 43, rotate "MULTI FUNCTION"
knob 8 to "DRC Value" and press "SELECT" button 17 or 41.
Select the following DRC value by tuning the "MULTI
FUNCTION" knob 8 and "SELECT" button 17 or 41 to confirm.
DRC 0 DRC scaling is switched off.
DRC ½ DRC scaling is set to ½ that sent with the
transmitted service.
DRC 1 Applies the DRC scaling as sent with the
transmitted service. This is the default setting.
Sw version
This option enables you to view the version number of the
software installed in your unit. You may be asked to quote
this if you contact Technical Support for advice. This option
can only be viewed, no adjustment is available.
Resetting your unit
A reset option is provided to enable you to reset your unit.
This removes all presets, stored stations and favourite
station settings and resets all options to defaults. Performing
an autotune process will solve most problems but you may
want to use this option if you move house or want to restore
default values to options you have changed.
To select the reset option:
1. Press and hold the "MENU" button 5 for more than five
seconds. The display will show "Clear Memory".
2. The unit will enter "Auto Tuning" mode and search for
new DAB stations again.

Guide to digital radio
Your unit enables you to receive and listen to DAB radio programmes. Digital Audio Broadcast
(DAB) uses digital signals rather than traditional analogue signals enabling near CD-quality
audio with virtually interference-free reception. DAB also enables broadcasters to transmit
additional data along with the audio including other audio channels, text and in the future,
perhaps computer data and images.
Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensembles or multiplexes. Each multiplex
can contain a number of stations (services) and each station contains a primary service and
can contain secondary services as illustrated in the following diagram.
Each multiplex is transmitted in a set frequency range and received by your unit for decoding.
Your unit enables you to receive multiplexes broadcast in frequency band lll (174-240 MHz)
and store the services in each multiplex for you to access. The number of multiplexes you
receive will vary depending on your location. Band lll is divided into 41 channels identified as
5A to 13F. Each channel can contain one multiplex. Channels allocated to the UK are in the
range 11B to 12D.
Multiplexes and stations have labels (names) which are used to identify them. Instead of needing
to know a particular frequency to listen to your favourite broadcast you can simply select the
station name. Secondary services and additional data such as text containing programme or
multiplex information are also easily accessed using your unit.

Note on using compact discs
Always hold discs by the edges and make
sure they remain clean. Do not touch the
shiny rainbow surface. Do not stick any
paper or adhesive tape on the side of disc
with the label. Keep discs away from direct
sunlight and heat sources, such as
radiators. Do not leave discs in a car which
is parked in direct sunlight, since the
temperature inside the car can become
extremely high. Clean discs with a cloth
before playing them.
Do not use any solvents such as benzine,
thinners, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs to clean your compact discs. After
playing, store a disc in its case again.
Moisture
If the unit is exposed to extreme temperature
fluctuations, moisture will form inside it.
Condensation will form on the lens and on
other parts inside the unit. If the CD player is
operated under these conditions, the laser
beam will not be able to read the signals. In
this case you should remove the DISC, close
the disc compartment, set the unit to Standby
and leave it alone for around 1 hour. The
moisture will then have evaporated and you
will be able to use your CD player again.
Hints concerning the CD player
When the CD player is not in use, the drawer
should always remain closed to protect the
mechanism from dust. Despite this, the lens
could possibly become soiled by dust or could
get steamed up by a hardly visible film, so that
the CD system can no longer scan the disc in
the drawer. In this case, qualified personnel
has to clean the lens.
