3. INSTALLATION - see fig. 2 on page 3

POWER SUPPLY Battery supply

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life.

• Open the battery compartment and insert as shown eight batteries, type R20, UM1 or Dcells.

• Remove the batteries if exhausted or if they will not be used again for a long period.

The battery supply is switched off when the set is connected to the mains. To change over to battery supply, pull out the plug from the

MAINS socket.

Mains supply

• Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the back of the set) corres ponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organisa tion.

If the set is equipped with a VOLTAGE selector 19, set this selector to the local mains voltage.

• Connect the mains lead to the MAINS

socket and the wall socket.

When connected to the mains, the system is

always energised.To switch off the mains supply completely, pull the mains plug out of the wall socket.

REMOVABLE SPEAKERS Taking off the speakers

• Keep the UNLOCK lever pressed and slide the speaker upwards, see fig. 2.

Attaching the speakers

• Slide the speakers from above in the sleeves on the sides of the system cabinet. The speakers will click into position.

POSITIOIMING THE SPEAKERS

You will find the best speaker position by experimenting. Placing the speakers on the floor will increase the bass response. Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture etc. will reduce the treble response and the stereo effect. The ideal position is obtained when the 2 front speakers and the listening position build an equilateral triangle and the speakers are at ear-height.

COIMIMECTIIMG THE SPEAKERS

You can connect the 2 supplied speakers or

others having an impedance of 4 Ohms.

• Connect the black or non-marked wires to the black terminals © and the red or marked wires to the red terminals ®.

GENERAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM

• Once connected to the mains, the system is always energised.To switch off the mains supply completely, pull the mains plug out of the wall socket.

• To switch on the system, select the sound source using the CD/RADIO/TAPE selector.

• Adjust the sound using the VOLUME A/T buttons.

- If headphones are connected, the speakers are switched off.

• Adjust the tone using the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER controls;

- 100 Hz - bass

- 1 kHz-mid

- 10 kHz-treble

• The system is switched off when the CD/RADIO/TAPE selector is in position TAPE/OFF and the recorder buttons are released.

• When switching off the unit by setting the CD/RADIO/TAPE selector to TAPE/OFF, the CD player mechanism will always need about 10 seconds to reset. First STRPT appears, then O-OQ flashes and after that the CD display goes out.

RADIO RECEPTION

Set the CD/RADIO/TAPE selector to RADIO. Adjust the sound using the VOLUME A/T buttons and the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER tone controls. Select the wave band using the selector MW/FM/FM ST (FM=mono, FM ST=stereo). Tune to a radio station using the TUNING knob,

- For FM, pull out the telescopic aerial. To improve FM-reception, incline and turn the aerial. Reduce its length if the FMsignal is too strong (very close to a transmitter).

- For MW, the set is provided with a built-in aerial, so the telescopic aerial is not needed. Direct the aerial by turning the whole set.

A disturbing noise, due to a weak FM-stereo signal, can be suppressed by setting the

MW/FM/FM ST selector to FM (mono). Mow, you will hear (and record) the FM station in mono.

7. CASSETTE RECORDER

RECORD PLAY REW IND

COMPACT CASSETTES

For recording, use a NORMAL cassette (lEC

type I) on which the tabs are not broken out. This deck is not suited for recording on CHROME (lECn) or METAL (lEC IV) cassettes.

For playback, any cassette type may be in serted. At the very beginning and end of the tape,

no recording will take place during the 6 seconds when the leader tape passes the recorder heads. To prevent the accidental erasure of a re cording, keep the cassette side to be safeguarded in front of you and break out the left tab. Now, recording on this side is no longer pos-. sible. To render this safeguard ineffective, cover the aperture with a piece of adhesive tape.

Do not expose the cassettes to rain,

moisture, sand, or to excessive heat e.g. from heating equipment or in motor cars

parked in the sun.
