Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fit new fuse, which should be a BS1362 3-

Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, it should have a value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13-Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

¶ As these colour s may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in unsafe operation.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Safety Information

● Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be reached easily.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Hearing Safety

To establish a safe volume level:

● Set your volume control at a low setting.

● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

● Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally

"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.

● Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and

take appropriate breaks.
