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.

Safety Information

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler

is used as the disconnet device, the disconnet device shall remain readily operable.

● Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power plug can be easily reached.

● The apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

● 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.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● 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.

● Batteries (batter y pack or batteries installed)

shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

● 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.

Hearing Safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

● Using headphones at a high volume can impair

your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.

● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

● Set your volume control at a low setting.

● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distor tion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

● Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally

"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.

● Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and

take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.

● Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable

periods of time.

● Be careful not to adjust the volume as your

hearing adapts.

● Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can't hear what's around you.

● You should use caution or temporarily

discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

● Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

English

Installation

English

Rear connections

Warning: – Never make or change connections with the mains supply switched on. – Install your set near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

A Speaker connections

Use the supplied speakers only. Using other speakers can damage the set or the sound quality will be negatively affected.

B Antenna connections

MW antenna

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna to the “AM aerial” terminal. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

● Connect the cable of the left speaker to LEFT

(red and black) and the cable of the right speaker to RIGHT (red and black) as follows: a. Press the clip of the red terminal and fully insert the stripped portion of the colored (or marked) speaker cable into the socket, then release the clip b. Press the clip of the black terminal and fully insert the stripped portion of the black (or unmarked) speaker cable into the socket, then release the clip

Installation

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

VCR or other radiation source.

FM antenna

The wire antenna supplied can only be used to receive nearby stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable antenna system or an outdoor antenna.

1 Extend the wire antenna and fit it to FM

ANTENNA as shown below

Note: If you are using a cable antenna system or an outdoor antenna, fit the antenna plug, instead of the wire antenna, to FM ANTENNA .

2 Move the antenna in different positions for

optimal reception (as far away as possible from the TV, VCR or other radiation sources)

3 Fix the antenna’s end to the wall.

Connecting an additional appliance

Connecting a USB device or memory card

By connecting a USB mass storage device (including USB flash memory, USB flash players or memory cards) to the Hi-Fi system, you can enjoy the music stored on the external device

through the powerful speakers of Hi-Fi system.

1 Insert the USB device’s USB plug into the socket

on the front panel of the main set.

Or,

for the devices with USB cable:

a. Insert one plug of the USB cable (not supplied) to the socket on the front panel of the main set. b. Insert the other plug of the USB cable to the USB output terminal of the USB device.

Or,

for the memory card:

a. Insert the memor y card into a card reader (not supplied).

b. Use a USB cable (not supplied) to connect the card reader to the socket .

on the front panel of the main set.

English

Helpful hints:

–To receive optimal radio reception, put the main unit and the antennas as far away as possible from the power adaptor.

Installation

English

Connecting a non-USB device

It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g. TV, VCR or CD recorder with the set. On MCM239, you can playback music from an external source.

Using AC power

1 Make sure all the connections have been made

before switching on the power supply

2 Connect the supplied AC/DC power adaptor to

the DC jack (located on the rear panel of the main set) and to the wall socket. This switches on the power supply.

To avoid damage to the set, use only the

adaptor supplied.

When MCM239 is switched to standby, it is still

consuming some power. To disconnect the

system from the power supply completely, remove the power plug from the wall socket.

The type plate is located on the rear of the set.
