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 ear th 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.

General Information
¶ The type plate (which contains the serial
number) is located at the rear of the
system.
¶ Recording is permissible if copyright or
other rights of third parties are not
infringed.
¶ This product complies with the radio
interference requirements of the European
Community.
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
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Supplied accessories
– 2 speaker boxes
– remote control
– AM frame aerial
– FM aerial wire
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 (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 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.
