GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION

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 subject 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 (Supplied)

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

control – AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord – SS-315 Surround Speakers (for model

FW-C72 only)

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. Allow at least 10cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5cm (2 inches) from the each side.

• The system incorporates a built-in safety feature that prevents overheating.

• 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.

Adjust VOLUME to increase or decrease the sound level.

For Personal Listening

Connect the headphones plug to the n socket at the front of the system. The speakers will be muted.

INCREDIBLE SURROUND (for model FW-C71 only)

Normal stereo sound is determined by the distance between the front speakers. When Incredible Surround is switched on, it magnifies the vir tual distance between the front speakers for an incredibly wide, enveloping, stereo effect.
