INSTALLATION ®

ACCESSORIES

With this changer are supplied:

- a connection cable (ANALOG OUT);

- a cinch lead (DIGITAL OUT);

- a remote control;

- batteries for the remote control.

POWER SUPPLY SETTING

• Check that the type plate on the rear of your changer

indicates the correct power voltage.

• If your power supply voltage is different, consult your dealer

or our Service Organisation.

Certain versions of this changer are equipped with a voltage selector 5, which enables you to set the changer to the correct power supply voltage yourself. When changing the voltage setting, it is also necessary to change the mains fuse 4 to one of the correct rating: T200 mA (slow blow fuse) for 110/127 V;

T100 mA (slow blow fuse) for 220 V - 230 V/ 230 V - 240 V.

SITING THE COMPACT DISC CHANGER

________________

Free standing

• Always position the changer horizontally on a flat, firm surface. Allow a free space of at least 1V4" (3 cm) above the changer so as not to interfere with the cooling of the changer.

In an audio rack

• The changer can be sited in any desired position.

Stacked

• Position the changer preferably at the bottom or at the top.

• Never position the changer directly on top of a high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives off a substantial amount

of heat.

COIMIMECTIONS

DIGITAL OUT

This output jack supplies a digital signal. This jack must only

be connected to an input which is suitable for this signal.

In this case use the cinch cord supplied.

Never connect this jack to a non-digital input of a receiver

or amplifier (such as AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc!).

2 ANALOG OUT

This output jack is used to supply non-digital signals to a

receiver/amplifier. In this case use the connection cord.

• Insert a red plug into the 'R' jack and the other plug into the

'L' jack.

• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding jacks of

the CD (or AUX) input of your receiver/amplifier. You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but

neverthe PHONO input!

3 ESI BUS (Enhanced System Intelligence)

For incorporating the changer in a HiFi system with ESI BUS

connection (e.g. the PHILIPS 900 series) or its own remote control system.

4 Power fuse holder (not all versions)

See 'Power supply setting',

5 Power selector (not all versions)

See 'Power supply setting'.
