Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug

FrançaisEnglish

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.

Español

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

Deutsch ∂ППЛУИО¿PortuguêsSuomiDanskSvenskaItalianoNederlands

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.

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 10 cm clearance from the rear and
the top of the unit and 5 cm from the
each side.

• 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.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

English

Dolby Pro Logic

This state of the art Dolby Pro Logic mini
system enables you to experience and
enjoy a Home Cinema sound ambience. The
Pro Logic system allows more accurate
definition of the individual sound sources.
It produces greater sound separation
between channels and provides pinpoint
sound localization. Pro Logic provides four
sound outputs: Left, Center, Right and
Surround (Rear). Front sounds are produced
from the pair of Left and Right speakers
and a Center speaker. The surround sound
is reproduced by two speakers placed at
the rear of the listening area. Although the
surround sound is monaural (single-source),
a pair of speakers is necessary to produce
the correct diffused sound.

This Pro Logic decoder enables you to
decode the following modes:

Surround, Center Phantom, Dolby 3
Stereo

or

normal Stereo

Setting up the Dolby Pro Logic
system

You must set up the system properly in
order to enjoy the Home Cinema sound to
the fullest. First, connect the speakers.

5-Speaker Connection

• Front speakers: Connect the front

speakers.

• Center speaker: Connect the center

speaker.
