Using your R7 on spindle legs
To mount your R7 on the spindle legs:
1. Carefully place your R7 upside down on a soft and
protective surface like a rug or the R7 bag. We recommend
you get help with moving your R7 as it is heavy!
2. Screw the four legs into the mounting plates on the
underside of the cabinet. Carefully hand-tighten each leg so
that it is secure but take care not to overtighten.
3. Turn your R7 over and let it rest on the legs gently.
4. Carefully move your R7 into its nal position and adjust the
leg tips (41) to ensure it is completely stable. The locknuts
(40) on the leg tips should also be tightened.

the underside of the cabinet, ensuring each is correctly

Getting started
1 Connect the aerial
The supplied aerial is a temporary wire aerial for initial use
and is designed to work with both DAB and FM signals.
Connect it to the combined DAB-FM antenna socket (39).
For best reception we highly recommend having an
external professionally installed combined aerial or
separate FM and DAB aerials. See page 21.
2 Connect to mains power
Plug the mains power cord (7) into the mains power
socket (33) on the back of your R7 and then plug it into a
mains outlet.
4 Switch on
Switch the mains power switch (31) on the back of your
R7 to the ON position. Your R7 is now in standby.
To turn your R7 on, press STANDBY (22). The Ruark
Audio logo will then appear on the screen.

5 Pair your remote

it very close to the display, just above the front panel
controls, and press SELECT (10).
When your remote pairs you will see a conrmation
screen and your remote is now ready to use.
Remote paired
You won’t normally need to pair it again but if you if do,
simply repeat the steps above. Please note that each
remote can only be paired to one music system at a time.
