FROM THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES
THAT OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE
ADJUST TO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU
SWITCH ON THE SYSTEM.

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.
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.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, 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.
● 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.
A Powe r
– Before connecting the AC power cord to the
wall outlet, ensure that all other connections
have been made.
– If your system is equipped with a Voltage
Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the
local power line voltage.
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 MW loop antenna and FM
antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the
position of the antenna for optimal reception.
MW Antenna
● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,
VCR or other radiation source.

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.
D 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
monaural 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 monaural).
Inserting batteries into the
remote control
Insert two batteries (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 of properly.
