INSTALLATION

m s

‘Hi

co'

Before you start...

After unpacking the system, remove all protective material.

Before connecting the system to the power, first check

to see if the power voltage as shown on the type plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organization.

If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, set this selector to

the local power voltage.

The typeplate is located at the rear of the system.

Place the system on a hard surface.

Do not cover the vents and make sure that you leave sufficient room around the unit for ventilation.

Remote control:

Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries supplied (type R03, UM-4 or AAA) as indicated. Remove the batteries if exhausted or if they will not be used again for a long period of time.

Connections

A FM 300 Q - Jack for a FM antenna, 300 Ohms.

Connect the supplied antenna wire with this jack. Find a position for best reception. Then mount the antenna to the wall or a window in a T-shape. Keep the dipole antenna away from the system to avoid unwanted noise. For good FM stereo reception, use an FM outdoor antenna or a connection to your house distribution system.

B AM FRAME AERIAL - Connector for the supplied AM frame

antenna. Connect the plug of the AM frame antenna to this jack and position the frame antenna for optimum reception. Do not place the frame antenna too close to the units, the wires or the boxes, as this may cause unwanted noise.

C LINE IN - Input jacks (Left/Right) for connecting other sound

sources (e.g. VCR, TV audio output etc.).

D Terminals for two speakers with an impedance of at least 6 ohms

(see SPEAKER CONNECTIONS).

E MAINS - Power jack. After all other connections have been

made, connect the AC power cord to the MAINS jack and the wall jack.

INSTALLATION

[Speaker connections Remote control functions

REMOTE CONTROL

One of the two wires of a speaker cable is marked, e.g. with a color or rib.

1 The marked wire should be connected to the red terminal and the

unmarked one to the black terminal.

2 Make sure that the color combination of wire and terminal is the

same for each speaker.

Positioning of 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 treble response and the stereo effect. You will obtain the ideal position when the two front speakers and the listening position build an equilateral triangle and the speakers are at ear level.

Always first select the desired sound source and then press the required function button (for example CD + PLAY ► or TAPE + PLAY ►.

Notes:

- The remote control remains tuned to the selected sound source until another sound source button on the remote control Is pressed.

- The corresponding LED indicator above the sound source buttons on the system flashes when its source Is operated by the

remote control.

- You can only control TV/VCR If this unit uses the RC-5 remote control system.

- Pressing TV/VCR will first switch on the TV set and after one second the whole

audio set

If TV/VCR is selected, the STANDBY button will first switch the TV set to standby and

after one second the whole set

- Pressing TV/VCR for more than one

seconds will select the external source

that is connected via the LINE IN jacks.
