Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2

Fix new fuse which should be a
BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it

should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value
of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour
mark

ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as

follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured red.

•

Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the
plug,

marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and

yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

REMOTE CONTROL

6

Open the battery compartment
of the remote control and insert
2 alkaline batteries, type AA
(R06, UM-3).

Remove batteries if they are flat
or if the remote control is not
going to be used for a long time.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should
be disposed of properly.

The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the
corresponding ones on the receiver.

Additional appliances can only be controlled if they are
working with the RC-5 and the RC-6 code system.

Important!

You have to press a source button for longer than 1 second to
switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source
button for less than 1 second will only switch the remote
control to use the commands for the selected product.

The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until
another source button on the remote control is pressed.
This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding
a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.
