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

- Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5°C or exceeding 35°C), 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.

- 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 bookcase or built in cabinet.

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

- Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

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 .

Your SANYO product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components which can be recycled and reused.

This symbol means that electrical and electronic equipment, at their end of life, should be disposed of separately from your household waste.

Please dispose of this equipment at your local community waste collection/recycling centre.

Please help us to conserve the environment we live in!

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.

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. Unwind the aerial wire, then extend it 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 wire, then connect it to the AM LOOP terminal. 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.

Screws (not supplied)

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.

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.
