The Compact Disc system is a major step forward in
the sphere of audio technology. By employing the
mostsophisticated digital and optical technologies,
Compact Disc not only produces the ultimate in
sound reproduction, it also offers unprecedented
ease of operation, with rapid access to every track
on the disc and the possibility of programming.

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.

- Track numbers when compiling a programme.
<] INDEX D
- For selecting another index number during play.
- For selecting an index number to start play with.
(O from high to low and I> from low to high.)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES (PHONES)
Connect headphones with a 6.3 mm jack piug and
an impedance between 8 and 1000 ohms to the
PHONES socket.
The sound level you hear is dependent on the
impedance of the headphones and the signal level
on the disc itself.
________________________________
CARE OF THE DISCS
Although both sides of a disc are protected by a
special coating, it is stiil advisable to treat the discs
with care:
• Never leave discs lying around, put them back in
their hoiders immediateiy after use.
• Never write on the printed side!
• Do not attach any stickers on the disc.
• Keep the shiny surface of the disc ciean. Use a
soft lint-free cloth and always wipe the disc in a
straight line from centre to edge. You may breath
lightiy on the disc first.
The cleaning set SBC 3540, avaiiabie separately, is
a useful accessory for cleaning your discs. It
contains a protective support, a special disc clean
ing cloth and a bottle of cleaning fluid.
Warning!
Cleaning agents for conventional records are not
suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc. Nor may
detergents or abrasive cleaning agents be used.
PLAYER MAINTENANCE
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is
sufficient for cleaning the player. Do not use clean
ing agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc tray should be kept free of dust with a dry
cloth.
PLAYING THE PROGRAMME
• Press PLAY/REPLAY.
> P’ lights up and piayback starts with the first
number of the programme. ■
Ail keys (except RANDOM and A-B) can be used
during programmed piay.
Searching for a particuiar passage is limited to
within the track being piayed. When either end of the
track is reached ERROR iights up.
When STOP/CM is pressed or when the pro
gramme has been played, the disc stops, but the
programme remains stored.
The programme will be erased when you open the
tray or if you press STOP/CM twice in succession
during playback. Once play has started you can no
longer change the programme.

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
insufficient familiarity with the combination of a new
product and new discs may lead to faults arising
during use. These are generally caused by simple
errors in operation or externai factors.
It is perhaps useful to check the points listed below
and where possible remedy these before taking
your player for repair.
- The transit clamps have not been removed.
- Condensation has formed on the lens of the laser
due to a dramatic change in temperature. This will
disappear automatically after some time.
- There is a foreign object in the disc tray.
- The disc has not been inserted with the printed
side up orthere is no disc in the tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The player has been connected to the PHONO
socket of the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the '
player off and on.
If this also fails to help, do not continue experiment
ing, but remove the plug from the socket and
consult your dealer.
Oertain faults may be caused by a disc. In order to
help determine the precise cause, take the disc with
which the fault occurred with you when you take the
player for repair.
Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the guaran
tee!
