INSTALLATION

CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING

• Check that the type plate on the rear of your
player indicates the correct supply voltage.

• If your mains supply voltage is different, consuit
your dealer or our Service Organisation._________

REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 1-2)

The two red transit clamps on the bottom lock the

play mechanism to protect it during transportation.

• Turn the player upside down.

• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and remove them
from the player.

• Store them in the recesses provided.

Replace the clamps if you wish to transport the
player. To do this, turn the player upside down,
insert the clamps in the holes provided and rotate

them clockwise until they lock in position.

INSERTING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN

THE REMOTE CONTROL (Fig. 3)

• Open the battery compartment.

• Insert the two batteries according to the diagram
in the compartment.

• Replace the cover.

The life of the batteries is around one year. Remove
them when they are flat or when you are not
intending to use the remote control for some time.

In this way you will prevent damage to the remote

control by possible battery leakage.

For replacement only use batteries of the type R03,
UM4 or AAA.

SITING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-standing

• Always position the player horizontally on a flat,
firm surface.

• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the
playerso as notto interfere with the cooling of the
player.

In an audio rack

• The player can be sited in any desired position.

Stacked

• Site the player preferably at the bottom or at the
top.

• Never position the player directly on top of a

high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives

off a substantial amount of heat.

Note!

Never allow the player to stand for long periods in
direct sunlight or near a heat source.

______________

CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a Connection forthe mains lead,
b OUT L R: for the connecting cable to the am

plifier.

• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ socket (right-hand
channel) and the other plug into the ’L’ socket

(left-hand channel).

• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding
sockets of the CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER orTAPE IN connec
tion, but never the PHONO input. This is not
suitable for Compact Disc reproduction.

c RC5IN/OUT: for a remote control system.

Use these sockets for connecting up the equip
ment when you are incorporating the player in a
HiFi system with its own remote control system.

Fitting a Mains Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured:

Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.

Note!: This apparatus must be protected by a

3 amp fuse if a 13 amp plug is used, or, if any other
type of plug is used, by a 5 amp fuse either in the
plug or adapter, or at the distribution board. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.
