WARNING

GB

All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the mass
of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.

F

ATTENTION

Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres
semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux
décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est
prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié
au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et
enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de
sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce
potentiel.

ESD

D

WARNUNG

Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan
die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über
ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden
sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse
des Gerätes.
Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche
Potential halten.

WAARSCHUWING

NL

Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan
de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.

I

AVVERTIMENTO

Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto
a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo
potenziale.

GB

Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original
condition and that parts which are identical with those specified,
be used.

NL

Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat bij reparatie in
zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt teruggebracht en dat onderdelen,
identiek aan de gespecificeerde, worden toegepast.

F

Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis à l’état
d’origine et que soient utiliséés les piéces de rechange identiques
à celles spécifiées.

D

Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu
beachten. Der Original zustand des Geräts darf nicht verändert werden;
für Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.

“Pour votre sécurité, ces documents
doivent être utilisés par des spécia­listes agréés, seuls habilités à réparer
votre appareil en panne”.

I

Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso
nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati i pezzi di ricambio
identici a quelli specificati.

"After servicing and before returning set to customer perform a
leakage current measurement test from all exposed metal parts to
earth ground to assure no shock hazard exist. The leakage current
must not exceed 0.5mA."

General Information

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

specialised company. Please observe the local

regulations regarding the disposal of packaging

materials, exhausted batteries and old

equipment.

Acknowledgement

Energy Star

As an ENERGY STARRPartner, Philips has

determined that this product

meets the ENERGY STAR

R

guidelines for energy efficiency.

Supplied accessories

– Remote control

– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control

– AM loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

– AC power cord

Safety Information

● Before oper ating 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.

Rear Connections

The type plate is located at the rear of the

system.

For users in the U.K.: please follow the

instructions on page 2.

A

Powe r

Before connecting the AC power cord to the

wall outlet, ensure that all other connections

have been made.

WARNING!

– For optimal performance, use only the

original power cable.

– Never make or change 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).

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.

¶ Clip the stripped por tion of the speaker wire 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 Connections

The optional equipment and connecting cords

are not supplied. Refer to the operating

instructions of the connected equipment for

details.

Subwoofer Out Connection

Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER

OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just

the low bass sound effect (explosions or the

rumble of spaceships, for example).

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/CDR IN terminals.

Note:

– If you are connecting equipment with a

monaural 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 (still be mono sound).

Digital Out Connection

Connect this digital output when recording on

any audio equipment with digital input (CD

Recorder, Digital Audio Tape [DAT] deck, Digital

to Analogue Converter and Digital Signal

Processor, for example). Use a cinch cable to

connect the DIGITAL OUT terminal to the

digital input terminal of the equipment.

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.

CAUTION!

– Remove batteries if they are exhausted

or not to 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.
