Where to Install Your
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.
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.
1 Check the position of the Voltage selector on the rear of the system (OPTIONAL).
2 Plug the main lead (marked AC Cord on the rear of the system) into an appropriate socket.
3 Press the STANDBY/ON button to switch your mini-compact system on.
Insert or replace remote control batteries when you:

When replacing the batteries, use a new set of batteries and never mix alkaline and manganese batteries.
1 Place your thumb on the position marked on the battery compartment cover (rear of the remote control) and push the cover in the direction of the arrow.
2 Insert two AAA, LR03 or equivalent batteries, taking care to respect the polarities:
+ on the battery against + in the battery compartment
– on the battery against – in the battery compartment
3 Replace the cover by sliding it back until it clicks into position.
If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

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.
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 18 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).
