Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of
the most important parts inside this unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may
damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave
this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time,
the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will
have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation,
keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appara-
tus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 3, 5 or 13 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement
fuse has a rating of 3, 5 or 13 amperes and that it is approved
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or
the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE
FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN
THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG
CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A
DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE

Memory backup
The CR-505DAB uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when
it’s unplugged or in case of a power failure. Although no
batteries are required, the CR-505DAB must be plugged
into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the CR-505DAB will retain the
settings for several weeks, although this depends on the
environment and retention will be shorter in humid climates. The clock setting is not retained by the backup system.

Connecting Your Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.
• Only use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or
higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and
use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period
of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect
the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative connections.
NO
Doing so may damage the CD
Receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal.
Doing so may damage the CD
Receiver.
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair,
connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not
both.
