General Information
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V 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 specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
Supplied accessories
– Remote control – Batteries (two AA size) for remote control – MW loop antenna – FM wire antenna (not for all versions) – One Video cinch cable –2 speaker boxes –AC adapter (not for all versions)
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 parts 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.
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).
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
Page 9
Preparations
● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,
VCR or other radiation source.
FM Antenna
or
Not for all versions
● For better FM stereo reception, connect an
outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL (FM ANTENNA) terminal.
● For some versions, a built-in FM attenna is
provided.
C Speakers Connection
Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "RIGHT" and left speaker to "LEFT", colored (mar ked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".
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 terminals.
Note: – If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX 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 (type R06 or AA) into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the + and - symbols inside the battery compar tment.
English
● Fully insert the stripped portion 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 Video Out Connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT terminal at the rear of the system to the TV or VCR VIDEO IN for viewing or recording.
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.
