Mains plug
FrançaisEnglish

fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
Deutsch ∂ППЛУИО¿PortuguêsSuomiDanskSvenskaItalianoNederlands
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, this should have a value of 5
Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5 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 colours 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.

Safety Information
• Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage indicated on the
typeplate (or the voltage indication
beside the voltage selector) of your
system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer. The typeplate is
located at the rear of your system.
• When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.
• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system.
• The system incorporates a built-in
safety feature that prevents over
heating.
• Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
• Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
• If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens of the CD unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
CD player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
• Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you unplug
the AC power cord and plug it in again
after a few seconds.
• To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove
the AC power plug from the wall
socket.

You can also install additional optional
front active speakers away from the
system (e.g. in another room) to reduce the
inconvenience of running long speaker
wires across rooms. You can place as many
remote speakers as you like provided they
operate at the same radio frequency.

transmitter to the LINE OUT terminals.
Place the active speakers at your preferred
location. Be sure to follow the instructions
