General Information

• The typeplate (which contains the serial number) is located at the rear of the system.

• Recording is permissible if copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed.

• This device complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: – This device may not cause

harmful interference, and

– This device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Accessories

– Remote control – Batteries (two AA size) for remote

control – AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord – CD Recorder

(Supplied)

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.

offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track). (The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances). If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will ensure very good audio performance when recordings are made from the analog input.

Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a very good sound quality via the analog output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital recording is not possible.

PREPARATION

A AM Loop Antenna

Connection

Connect the supplied loop antenna to the AM ANTENNA terminal. Place the AM loop antenna far away from the system and adjust its position for the best reception.

B FM Wire Antenna

Connection

Connect the supplied FM wire antenna to the FM ANTENNA 300 Ω terminal. Adjust the position of the FM antenna for the best reception.

Outdoor Antenna

For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA 300 Ω terminal using a 300 Ω dipole wire.

C Speakers Connection

• Connect the right speaker to Front terminal R, with the colored wire to + and the black wire to -.

• Connect the left speaker to Front terminal L, with the colored wire to + and the black wire to -.

• Clip the stripped portion of the speaker wire as shown.
