To take full advantage of your new MICRO component system,
follow these installation instructions before connecting the unit.

◆

Install the system on a flat, stable surface.

◆

Never place this unit on carpeting.

◆

Never locate 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.

Insert or replace remote control batteries when you:

Purchase the Micro component system
Find that the remote control is no longer operating
correctly

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 + on the remote control
– on the battery against – on the remote control

3 Replace the cover by sliding it back until it clicks into position.

The main lead must be plugged into an appropriate socket.

Before plugging your system into a main socket, you must check
the voltage.

Check the position of the voltage selector at the bottom of the system
(OPTIONAL).
Plug the main lead (marked

AC Cord on the rear of the system) into
an appropriate socket.
Press the

On/Standby button to switch your mini-compact system on.

Connecting to an External Source

The auxiliary input can be used to take advantage of the sound
quality of your MICRO component compact system when listening
to other sources.

Example

: A television

A video disc player
A Hi-Fi stereo video cassette recorder

To connect the external source, the source must have an
audio output. In addition, you need an RCA connection
cable.

1 Set the system to standby mode and disconnect it and the external

source from the main.

2 Connect the audio cable to the rear of the micro component

compact system.

Connect the... To the connector marked...

Red jack R (right)
White jack L (left)

For optimum sound quality, do not invert the right and left
channels.

3 Plug the system back into the main socket and press On/Standby

to switch it on.

4 Select the AUX function by pressing FUNC. button.

Result: AUX is displayed.

5 Switch the external source on.
6 Adjust the volume and balance as required:

Volume
Equalizer

The loudspeaker connector terminals are located on the rear of
the system.
There are four terminals on the system:

Two for the left speaker (marked L)
Two for the right speaker (marked R)

To achieve the correct sound quality, connect the:

Red wire to the + terminals
Black wire to the – terminals

1 To connect a wire to a terminal, push the tab as far as it will go:

To the right on the system

2 Insert the wire, up to the plastic sheathing, in the hole.
3 Push the tab back:

To the left on the system, until it clicks into place
To the top on the loudspeaker

Result

: The wire is pinched and held firmly in place.

4 Repeat the operation for each wire.

Connecting the Loudspeakers

(Right Speaker)

(Left Speaker)

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.

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 12 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).

Connecting the AM (MW)/LW Aerial

Connecting the FM Aerial

Connecting the SW Aerial (option)

How to connect a WIRE TYPE aerial.

Spread the SW aerial out and attach the ends to a wall, in the position
providing the best reception.

If reception is poor (e.g. distance from transmitter too great, walls
blocking the radio waves, etc.), install an outdoor aerial.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable)
can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

◆ You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded

in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back
depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

◆ Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit

because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,
or if the player’s lens is dirty.

◆ CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused

by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular CDs.)
