Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 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 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.Copyright in the U.K.: Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

General maintenance
• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs or cassettes to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois leather. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing.

All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easy to sepa­rate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), expanda­ble polystyrene (buffer), polyethylene (bags, protective foam).
Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if dis­assembled by a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
POWER SUPPLY
Batteries for the remote control
• Open the battery compartment and insert two batteries, type AA, R06 or UM3 (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the + and – symbols inside the compartment.
Important! Remove the batteries if they are flat or if the
unit is not to be used for a long time.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
Speaker connections
The speaker terminals are click-fit connectors. Use them as shown below. – Connect the unmarked wire to the red terminal and the
marked black wire to the black terminal.
• When headphones are inserted into the headphone socket the speakers are disconnected.
Mains
1 Check if the mains voltage, as shown on the type plate
located on the back of the set, corresponds to your
local mains voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service centre.
2 If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, adjust
the selector so that it matches with the local mains.
3 Connect the mains lead to the wall socket and the set is
now ready for use. The display lights up briefly and the clock display
flashes. You will need to set the time.
4 To disconnect the set from the mains completely,
remove the plug from the wall socket.
