General Information

This system complies with the FCC rules,
Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
– This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
– This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

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
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord
– Category 5 Ethernet cable

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 will not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.

● 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.

Optional connections

The optional equipment and connecting cords
are not supplied. Refer to the operating
instructions of the connected equipment for
details.

Analog audio connections

AUX/CDR IN (R/L)

Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to
the analog audio out terminals of an external
equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD
player or CD Recorder), for listening to this
source.

LINE OUT (R/L)

Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to
the analog audio inputs of any analog audio
equipment (amplifier/receiver or tape recorder,
for example), for playback or performing analog
recording.

Notes:
– Do not connect equipment to both the
LINE OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the
same time. Otherwise, noise will be generated and
malfunction might occur.
– 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 (the output sound will 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.

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 dispose of them properly.

Subwoofer out connection
Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER

OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just

the low bass sound effects (explosions or the
rumble of spaceships, for example).
