Mains plug

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

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2

Fix the new fuse which should be a BS1362 5Amp,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 should be ﬁtted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, it 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, so as to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being inserted into another 13-Amp socket.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are colored using the following codes: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

● As these colors may not correspond with the color markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal

marked N or colored black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal

marked L or colored red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth

terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or colored green (or green and yellow).

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

clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

● Do not use solvents such as benzene,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Care and Handling for HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

The HDD is a fragile piece of device that is easily prone to damage due to its long recording capacity and high speed operation.

● Do not move the unit while it is switched

on.

● Do not remove the AC power plug from

the power outlet during operation.

● Do not use the unit in excessively hot or

humid places.This may cause condensation to form inside the unit.

If the HDD fails, playback and recording will not be possible. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

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.

● Never cover the ventilation openings with items

such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc as

this will impede ventilation.

3.1 Placing Center and Station

With detachable stands and by-packed wall mounting kits, the WACS7000 Center and Station can be placed in two ways: on desktops using detachable stands or on walls without using the stands.

(on desktops using stands)

(on walls without using stands)

To learn more about wall mounting, see 16.1 Appendix:How to mount your Center and

Station onto walls.

IMPORTANT! – Before you decide where and how to

place both the Center and Station, try the Wi-Fi connection and rear connections to ﬁnd a suitable location.

3.2 Setting up Wi-Fi connection between Center and Station

Wi-Fi connection starts automatically when you power up both the WAC7000 Center and WAS7000 Station

1 The ﬁrst time you set up a Wi-Fi connection,

place the Center and Station side by side on a ﬂat and ﬁrm surface.

2 a. Connect the Center to power supply

b. Connect the Station to power supply

➜ Auto installation/connection starts ➜ HD screen appears on the Center ➜ HD screen appears on the Station when the

Station is connected to the Center

3 Unplug the Center and Station. Relocate as

desired.

IMPORTANT! – Make sure that you have already

powered up the Center before powering up the Station.

– Avoid installing between thick walls.

The Center and Station should never be blocked by 2 or more walls.

– Avoid placing the system near to large

metal objects.

– For better Wi-Fi reception, turn the

Wi-Fi antenna, or adjust the location of the Center and Station.

– Always press and hold ECO/STANDBY-

3. Installation

English

3.3 Rear connections

Warning: –Never make or change the connections

when the mains is switched on.

– Install the Center and Station near AC

outlets where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

3.3.1 Connecting antennas

1 Extend the wire antenna and ﬁt it to the FM

ANTENNA as shown below

2 (Optional) To improve FM reception, ﬁt the plug

of the wire antenna into the plug of the extension line (sold separately) as shown below

3.3.2 Connecting a USB mass storage

device

On Center or Station, you can playback music from a USB mass storage device. Also, you can transfer the music from the library on the Center to the USB mass storage device. Carry your favorite music with you wherever you go.

1 Insert the USB plug of the USB device into the

socket on the Center or Station

For devices with USB cable:

● Insert one end of the USB cable (not supplied)

into the socket on the Center or Station

● Insert the other end of the USB cable into the

USB output terminal of the USB device

2 To playback music from the USB device, press

SOURCE once or more times to select USB source (see 10.External source)

3 To record music to the USB device, see

10.External source

3 Extend the extension line and move it in

different positions for optimal reception (as far away as possible from the TV,VCR or other radiation sources)

4 Fix end of the extension line to the ceiling

Helpful hints:

The Center or Station only supports USB devices that adhere to the following standards: – USB MSC ( Type ‘0’ ) – File system in FAT12/ FAT16/ FAT32 – Operations based on simple folder based

navigation (also known as a normal FAT ﬁle system), and not based on proprietary track

database. The following USB devices will not be supported by the Center or Station: – MTP based or Dual mode (adhering to both the

MSC and MTP standards) devices, as the Center

or Station does not support browse, play and

export functions using the MTP protocol.

3. Installation

–Products with database based UI (Artists,

Albums and Genre based navigation) as these products normally store music ﬁles in a speciﬁc hidden folder and uses embedded proprietary track database that the Center or Station is unable to read properly.

3.3.3 Connecting to a portable hard disk audio player (sold separately)

You can connect your portable hard disk audio player to the Center or Station using Philips docking IR cradle and data/audio cable (not supplied). Now you will be able to enjoy the music library in your portable hard disk player via WACS7000’s sophisticated speaker system.You can even recharge the player’s battery at the same time.
