Important notes for users in the
U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

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.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra
nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket
sidder i stikkontakten.

S

Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat
sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för
laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen
sitter i vägguttaget.

SF

Luokan 1 laserlaite

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen
muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla
tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle
näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.

Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei
saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty
toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti
sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkko­osa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina
silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Energy Star

As an ENERGY STAR
Partner, Philips has determined
that this product meets the
ENERGY STARR guidelines for energy efficiency.

and supply ratings.
For users in the U.K.: please follow the
instructions on page 2.

Supplied accessories (page 3 - P1)

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
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

Care and safety information

(page 3 - P2)

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs
to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the
lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– The lens may cloud over when the system is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of
free space all around the system for adequate
ventilation.

Care of disc

– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from
the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free
cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the
surface.

Care of the cabinet

– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Finding a suitable location

– Place the system on a flat, hard, and stable
surface.

Built-in safety circuit

– Under extreme conditions, this system may
switch to standby mode automatically. If this
happens, let the system cool down before
reusing it.

Power saving

– This system is designed to use less than 1W
of electricity when switches to Eco Power
standby. Disconnect the AC power cord from
the power outlet when not in use.

WARNING!

– Use only the supplied speakers. The
combination of the main unit and
speakers provide the best sound. Using
other speakers can damage the unit and
sound quality will be negatively affected.
– Never make or change connections
with the power switched on.
– Connect the AC power cord to the
power outlet only after you have finished
hooking up everything.

Step 1: Connecting FM/AM

antennas

– Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf or
attach it to a stand or wall.
– Extend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the
wall.
– Adjust the position of the antennas for
optimal reception.
– Position the antennas as far as possible from a
TV, VCR or other radiation source to prevent
unwanted noise.
– For better FM stereo reception, connect
external FM antenna.

Step 2: Connecting the

speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS

terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to
"L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black
