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 parts of the set contain selflubricating 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.

For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 2.

APower

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).

BAntennas Connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

AM Antenna

Fix the claw to the slot

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 ANTENNA terminal.

CSpeakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS

(FRONT) terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

2

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.

Analogue audio connections

AUX/CDR IN (R/L)

Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV,VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder); for listening to or recording from this source.

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).

Preparations

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.

2 1

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.

IMPORTANT!

Before you operate the system, complete the preparation procedures.

Demonstration mode

The system has a demonstration mode that shows the various features offered by the system. When the system is switched on for the first time, the demonstration mode will start automatically.

To activate the demonstration

In standby mode, press and hold STOP on the system until "HELLO" is displayed.

The demonstration will begin.

To deactivate the demonstration

Press and hold STOP on the system until "DEMO OFF" is displayed.

The system will switch to standby mode.

Notes:

If you have not deactivated the demonstration, it will resume five seconds after the system switches to standby mode.

When the power is turned on, the disc tray may open and close to initialise the system.

Easy Set

EASY SET allows you to store all available RDS stations and radio stations automatically.

1In standby or demonstration mode, press and hold STANDBY ON until “EASY SET - TUNER - AUTO” is displayed.

All previously stored radio stations will be replaced.

The system will automatically store the radio stations with sufficient signal strength, starting from all RDS stations and followed by FM, MW and LW bands respectively. Weak RDS stations may be stored in later presets.

When all the available radio stations are stored or the memory for 40 presets are used, the last preset radio station (or the first available RDS station) will be played.

2The system will proceed to set the RDS clock if the first preset is an RDS station.

“EASY SET” is displayed, followed by

“TIME”.

When RDS time is read, "RDS TIME" is displayed and the current time will be stored.

If RDS station does not transmit RDS time within 90 seconds, the programme will exit automatically and the display will show

“NO RDS TIME”.

If the first preset is non-RDS station;

The programme will exit automatically.
