General Information

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

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes – remote control – batteries (two AA size) for remote control – AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord

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.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

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

● The lens may cloud over when the system is

suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the system in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

● 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.

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that 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).

Fix the claw to the slot

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

VCR or other radiation source.

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.

LINE OUT (R/L)

Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to the analogue audio inputs of any analogue audio equipment (amplifier/receiver or tape recorder, for example); for playback or performing analogue recording.

Notes: – Do not connect equipment to both the LINE OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the same time. Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction might occur. – If you are connecting equipment with a monaural output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).

Digital audio connection

DIGITAL OUT

Use a coaxial cable to connect the DIGITAL OUT terminal to the digital coaxial input of any digital audio equipment (CD Recorder, Digital Audio Tape [DAT] deck, Digital to Analogue Converter and Digital Signal Processor, for example); for performing digital recording.

Subwoofer out connection Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just

the low bass sound effect (explosions or the rumble of spaceships, for example).

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 compartment.

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 off properly.
