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.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Cabinet
● Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning Discs
● When a disc becomes dir ty,
clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center
out.
● Do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or antistatic
spray intended for analog records.
Cleaning the disc lens
● After prolonged use, dirt or dust may
accumulate at the disc lens. To ensure good
playback quality, clean the disc lens with Philips
CD Lens Cleaner or any commercially available
cleaner. Follow the instructions supplied with
cleaner.
Cleaning the Heads and the Tape Paths
● To ensure good recording and playback quality,
clean the heads A and B, the capstan(s) C,
and pressure roller(s) D after every 50 hours
of tape operation.
● Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
● You can also clean the heads by playing a
cleaning tape once.
Demagnetizing the heads
● Use a demagnetizing tape available at your
dealer.
Safety information
● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
● 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, curtains, etc.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

Warning:
Never make or change connections with
the mains supply switched on.
A Speakers connection
Use the supplied speakers only. Using other
speakers can damage the set or the sound
quality will be negatively affected.
● Connect the cables of the left speaker to L (red
and black) and the cables of the right speaker to
R (red and black) as follows:
Speaker
(left)
AC power cord
Open the clip of the black terminal and fully
insert the stripped portion of the black (or
unmarked) speaker cable into the socket, then
close the clip.
B Antennas Connection
AM (MW) antenna
1 Unfold the loop antenna and if necessary, use
screws (not supplied) to fix it to a flat, hard and
stable place:
Open the clip of the red terminal and fully
insert the stripped portion of the coloured (or
marked) speaker cable into the socket, then
close the clip.

ANTENNA as shown below.
3 Adjust the antenna for optimal reception
(as far as possible from a TV, VCR or radiation
sources)
Installation
FM antenna
1 Extend the wire antenna and move the antenna
in different positions for optimal reception (as far
away as possible from the TV, VCR or other
radiation sources).
2 Fix the antenna’s end to the wall.
C Connecting an additional appliance
It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g.
TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD
recorder, with the system.
1 Inser t the red plug of the red/white audio cables
(not supplied) to the red socket AUX IN R and
the white plug to the white socket AUX IN L.
2 Connect the other end of the audio cables to
the AUDIO OUT terminals of the additional
appliance.
Helpful hints:
– If the connected device has only a single audio
out terminal, connect it to the AUX IN left
terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to
double” cinch cable, but the output sound still
remain mono.
– Always refer to the owner’s manual of other
equipment for complete connection.
Using AC power
1
If your system is equipped with
a VOLTAGE SELECTOR, set
