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.

Undgå utsættelse for stråling.
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært

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.

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.
● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
● 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.
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
● 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 disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
● When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

For users in the U.K.: please follow the
instructions on page 2.
A Pow er
Before connecting the AC power cord to the
wall outlet, ensure that all other connections
have been made.
WARNING!
– For optimal performance, use only the
original power cable.
– Never make or change connections with
the power switched on.
To avoid overheating of the system, a safety
circuit has been built in. Therefore, your
system may switch to Standby mode
automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).
B Antennas Connection
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM
antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the
position of the antenna for optimal reception.

black (unmarked) wire to "-".
Notes:
– For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
Optional Connections
The optional equipment and connecting cords
are not supplied. Refer to the operating
instructions of the connected equipment for
details.
Connecting other equipment to your
system
Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals
of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or
CD Recorder to the AUX/CDR IN terminals.

the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you
can use a “single to double” cinch cable (still be
mono sound).
Subwoofer Out Connection
Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER
OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just
the low bass sound effect (explosions or the
rumble of spaceships, for example).

Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound provides the
current industry standard for home cinema
sound from VCR and TV broadcasts. The front
left and right speakers deliver detailed, directional
sound as the centre speaker "steers" dialogue/
vocal sound and centre screen action toward the
TV screen. Both surround speakers add a
greater sense of depth with special effects.
Audio and video tapes and discs with the
Dolby Surround mark are
encoded for multi channel Dolby Surround
sound. The DOLBY PRO LOGIC sound setting
allows you to listen to audio tracks as they were
recorded through the left, right, centre, and rear
channels.
IMPORTANT!
– Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound can only
be reproduced if the programme is
broadcast in Dolby Surround Sound.
– For the best Dolby Pro Logic sound,
switch on DPL with DSC set to “CLASSIC”
and with VAC off.
– Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically
switch to normal stereo mode when
headphones is connected.
– When recording, it is advisable to switch
the Dolby Pro Logic to normal stereo mode.
Setting up the Dolby Pro Logic
system
You must set up the system properly in order to
experience and enjoy a Home Cinema sound
ambience.
Connecting the Speakers

“Preparations - Rear Connections”)
● Front speakers: Connect the front speakers.
● Centre speaker: Connect the centre speaker.
● Rear (surround) speakers: Connect either the
