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 markings
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.

General Information

• The typeplate (which contains the
serial number) is located at the rear
of the system.

• Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.

• This product complies with the
radio interference requirements of
the European Community.

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.

Accessories

(Supplied)

– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote

control

– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord

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. The typeplate is
located at the rear of your system.

• When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.

• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).

• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system.

• The system incorporates a built-in
safety feature that prevents over
heating.

• Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.

• Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!

• 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 CD 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.
