Mini-Compact System

To take full advantage of your new mini-compact system, fol­low these installation instructions before connecting the unit.

Install the system on a flat, stable surface.
Never place this unit on carpeting.
Never place this unit in an outdoor area.
Maintain an open space of approximately 6 inches (15 cm) on the
sides and rear of the system, for ventilation purposes.
Make sure that you have enough room to open the compact disc
compartment easily.
Place the loudspeakers at a reasonable distance on either side of
the system to ensure good stereo sound.
Direct the loudspeakers towards the listening area.
For optimum performance, make sure that both speakers are placed
at an equal distance above the floor.

Connecting your System to the Power Supply

The main lead must be plugged into an appropriate socket.

Before plugging your system into a main socket, you must check
the voltage setting (OPTIONAL). If the voltage of the socket does
not correspond to the setting on the rear of the unit, you may
seriously damage your system.

Check the position of the Voltage selector on the rear of the system

3

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Connecting the Loudspeakers

The loudspeaker and subwoofer connector terminals are locat­ed on the rear of the system.

The subwoofer generates low-pitched tones.

(Ex. Explosion, the sound of spacecraft flying, the sound of pondering,

etc.)

Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal on the rear of the

Directions in Installing Speaker

Installation in a place near heating apparatus, under direct lay of
light or with high humidity may cause performance degradation
of the speaker.

Do not install on the wall or on a high place of pole or other
unstable place to prevent any safety accident caused by falling
of the speaker.

Do not take the speaker apart from TV or computer monitor.
The speaker near the TV or computer monitor may influence the
quality of the screen display.

Connecting the AM (MW)/LW Aerial

GB

The AM aerial (for long and medium waves) can be:

Placed on a stable surface

Fixed to the wall (you must first remove the base)
The AM aerial connector terminals are located on the rear of
the system and are marked AM .

To avoid noise interference, check that the loudspeaker
wires do not run close to the aerial wires.
Always keep them at least 2 inches (5 cm) away.

Connecting the FM Aerial

How to connect a COAXIAL TYPE aerial.

Connect a 75Ω antenna to the FM antenna terminal.

Plug the connector on the FM aerial supplied into the coaxial socket (75Ω) marked FM on the rear of the system.

Follow the instructions given on Page 19 to tune into a radio station, and determine the best position for the aerial.

If reception is poor, you may need to install an outdoor aerial.

To do so, connect an outdoor FM aerial to the FM socket on the rear of the system using a 75Ω coaxial cable (not supplied).

Safety Precautions

GB

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken
when using or moving your mini-compact system.

Ambient operating conditions:
Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C
Humidity 10-75%

Do not place potted plants or vases
on top of the unit. Moisture entering
the unit could lead to dangerous
electric shock and can cause
equipment damage. In such events
immediately disconnect the main
plug from the socket.

Do not expose the unit to direct sun
radiation or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and
malfunction of the unit.

During thunderstorms, disconnect
the main plug from the socket.
Main voltage peaks due to light­ning could damage the unit.

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact
system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing
The compact disc player
The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it
If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing

Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent.
Do not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners.
Never let any liquids get into the system.

Compact Disc Player

Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning

1

agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.
Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.

Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from

2

your local dealer).

T

ape Decks

Press Push Eject( ) to open the cassette deck.

1

Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

2

Head (1)
Rollers (2)
Drive capstans (3)

3

Remove the batteries from the
remote control, if not used for any
extended period.
Leaking batteries can cause serious
damage to the remote control.

Do not place heavy items on the
main lead. Main cable damage can
lead to damage of the equipment (fire
hazard) and can cause electric
shock.

26

VOLUME

UP

DOWN

When using headphones, take care
not to listen at excessive volumes.
Extended use of headphones at
high volumes will lead to hearing
damage.

Do not remove any equipment panels.
The inside of the unit
contains live components, which
cause electric shock.

21

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.

Precautions When Using Compact Discs

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the
edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back
in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on
the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.
Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight,

where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.
Always use compact discs marked .

DIGITAL AUDIO

COMPACT

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.
To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the

safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette,
where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with
adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its
