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 AM (MW)/LW 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 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).
Connecting the FM Aerial
Using the Audio Cord, Connect the Audio Output Terminals (Left, Right)

Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW
In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in audio CD
format, CD-RW(Rewritable) and editing by the user, playback is
processed on the respective completed status.
(The player may not be played back according to the characteristics
of the CD or recorded status.)
The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which causes more
time delay to read.

What is MP3?
Playback sequence of albums and tracks
In case of Window Explorer display.
The arrows indicates playback sequence of albums and tracks.
Tracks with jpg, wav or doc only are not audio files and therefore
will be skipped.
MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio
signal compression technology. It uses digital compression
technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times
without sound quality degradation.
File Compatibility
The unit will playback files created in MP3 format
(Mpeg1.Layer3) with *.mp3 as their extension.
Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with
*
.mp2 as their extension can also be played back.
How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?
The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is 650MB.
Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore
approximately 170 files can be recorded on a single disc.

To obtain the best possible results from your micro component 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
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
your local dealer).
Tape Decks

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.

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken
when using or moving your micro component system.
Safety Precautions
Ambient operating conditions:
Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C
Humidity 10-75%
Do not expose the unit to direct sun
radiation or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and
malfunction of the unit.
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.
Remove the batteries from the
remote control, if not used for any
extended period.
Leaking batteries can cause serious
damage to the remote control.
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 place heavy items on the
main lead. Main cable damage can
lead to damage of the equipment
(fire hazard) and can cause electric
shock.
Do not remove any equipment panels.
The inside of the unit contains live
components, which cause electric
shock.
During thunderstorms,
disconnect the main plug from the
socket.
Main voltage peaks due to lightning
could damage the unit.
