CAUTION

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A LOW POWER LASER DEVICE. TO
ENSURE CONTINUED SAFETY DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVERS
OR ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF THE PRODUCT.
REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

- The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

- Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5oC or
exceeding 35oC), or where direct sunlight may strike it.

- Because of the CD player’s extremely low noise and wide dynamic
range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier
unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large out­put from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.

- Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause condensa­tion to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out
the disc, leave the unit for about 1 hour, and then proceed to operate.

IMPORTANT

If the plug supplied with this equipment is not suitable for the socket
outlets in your home it should be cut off and replaced with the correct
type.

Disposal of Plug

If the non rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be
disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be
inserted into a live socket.

Replacing Fuse

The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse.
Only a 3A fuse should be used and should comply with BS1362 and
should carry the ASTA mark .

- The system’s speakers use powerful magnets. Do not place time­pieces, credit cards, cassette tapes or video tapes, etc. near the speak­ers.

- Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book
case or built in cabinet.

- No object filled with liquids, such as vase, shall be placed on the ap­paratus.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow­ing code:

Blue Neutral

Brown Live
The wires in the mains lead must be connected to the terminals in the
plug as follows:

Wire colour Plug terminal marking

Blue N or Black or Blue

Brown L or Red or Brown
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal.
If the mains plug contains a fuse this should be 3A, if a plug without a
fuse is used the distribution board fuse should not be greater than 5A.

The unit is not disconnected from the mains unless it is unplugged from the AC outlet.

Note:

- Do not connect the mains lead to an AC outlet until all connections
have been made.

- The system is not completely disconnected from the mains when the
z/ON button is set to the z position.

Speakers

Connect the connector of the left speaker lead to the “L” SPEAKERS
socket and the connector of the right speaker lead to the “R” socket.
If you have difficulty inserting the speaker lead connector, turn it over and
reinsert it.

FM Aerial

FM indoor aerial is sufficient to receive broadcasts. Extend the aerial wire
as straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from the system,
secure it in a position which yields minimal distortion and noise.

AM Loop Aerial

Assemble the loop aerial as shown in figure.

To an AC outlet

Unwind the aerial wires, then connect them
to the AM LOOP terminals. Place the loop
aerial in a position which yields the best AM
reception, or attach it to a wall or other sur­face as shown in figure.

Note:
To minimize noise, the speaker, mains and
any other leads should not come close to
the indoor or external aerial lead and AM loop
aerial. Do not place the aerial leads close to
the system.

Screws (not supplied)

Headphones

Connect stereo headphones (not supplied) to the PHONES socket for
monitoring or for private listening. The speakers are automatically discon­nected when headphones are connected.
