TO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON
THE SYSTEM.

Supplied accessories

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.

"The making of unauthorized copies of copy­protected material, including computer
programmes, files, broadcasts and sound
recordings, may be an infringement of
copyrights and constitute a criminal offence.
This equipment should not be used for such
purposes."

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.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● Don’t expose the system to dripping or

splashing.

● 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.

● 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.

D Video Out Connection

Connect the VIDEO OUT terminal at the rear
of the system to the TV or VCR VIDEO IN for

E Connecting other equipment to your

system

Use a cinch cable to connect AUX/CDR IN to
the analogue audio out terminals of an external
equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD
player or CD Recorder).

Note:
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to
the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you
can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output
sound still remain mono).

Inserting batteries into the
remote control

Insert two batteries type R06 or AA into the
remote control with the correct polarity as
indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside
the battery compar tment.

English

Note:
–To avoid magnetic interference with the picture
on your TV, do not position the front speakers too
close to the TV.

CAUTION!
– Remove batteries if they are exhausted
or will not be used for a long time.
