General Information

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 loop antenna – FM wire antenna

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.

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.

A Powe r

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that the following are done; – If your system is equipped with a Voltage Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the local power line voltage. – All other connections have been made.

WARNING! – For optimal performance, use only the original power cable. – Never make or change any 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).

AM Antenna

● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,

VCR or other radiation source.

Page 9

Preparations

FM Antenna

● For better FM stereo reception, connect an

outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL (FM ANTENNA) terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "RIGHT" and left speaker to "LEFT", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

● Fully inser t the stripped por tion of the speaker

wire into the terminal as shown.

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 connection

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 IN terminals.

Note: – If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX 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 (not supplied) type R03 or AAA into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the battery compar tment.

English

CAUTION! – Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time. – Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. – Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.
