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 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.

- When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be
inside and turn the power off. Wait at least 10 seconds, then un­plug the mains lead from the AC outlet. Carrying the unit with a
disc inside may damage the disc and/or the unit.

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 BS 1362 and
should carry the ASTA mark

.

- 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 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.

Speakers

When connecting the speakers, make sure that (+) and (-) polarities
are matched properly. Otherwise, the sound may appear to be lack­ing in the bass range and stability.
Connect the speaker wire with the stripe to the red terminal (+) and
the other wire to the black terminal (-).

Aerial

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.

If you have difficulty inserting the AM
loop aerial cable connector, turn it over
and reinsert it.

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