Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Setting up the unit in an unsuitable location
may result in injury to persons and/or damage
to property.
• Do not use the device in vehicles without having it
secured, in unstable locations, wobbly tripods or
furniture, on insuffi ciently dimensioned brackets etc.
The device could tip or fall down and cause injury to
persons or be damaged itself.
• Set up the unit so that you do not accidentally tip it
over and that the cables do not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifi ers etc.).
Danger
Danger to eyes and skin!
Opening the disc compartment with the lock
deactivated will cause an invisible or visible
laser beam to be emitted.
• Do not look into the beam, even if you are using optical instruments.
Attention
Risk of damage!
External infl uences may damage or destroy the
device.
• If the unit is to be left unsupervised for a long period
(e.g. during a holiday), or if a thunderstorm is forecast,
disconnect the mains plug from the power socket. Otherwise, a sudden overvoltage may cause a defect.
• Leaked batteries may damage the remote control.
In case of prolonged absence, remove any batteries
from the remote control.
• If the device is subjected to warm temperatures after
being cold (e.g. after transport), condensation may
occur inside of it.
In this case, wait at least 2 hours before you connect
and activate it.
Attention
Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fi re.
• Do not place open fl ames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Ensure suffi cient ventilation.
• Do not cover the vents with curtains, blankets, newspapers or similar. Heat build-up inside the unit can
shorten its lifetime.

Setup and connection
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables or
the unit.
Connecting the speakers
Use the enclosed speaker cables to connect the speakers.
You can order longer cables if you need them in our webshop (www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
The connector terminals 16 “SPEAKER” for the right (“R”)
and left (“L”) speaker are located on the back side of the
CD receiver.
The terminals are each marked in red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like-coloured terminal clips with
one another. Otherwise, the sound quality will
suffer. The strands of the speaker cables are marked
with different colours or shapes.
If no antenna connection is available at the location, you
can use the enclosed throw-out aerial
햵. Push the aerial plug into the jack
17 “FM” and adjust the position of
the throw-out aerial for best reception. Then fi x the antenna in place
with adhesive tape.
Audio input
You can connect almost any audio source such as a computer, MP3 player (with/without a dock), video game system, television etc. to the RCA jacks 18 “AUX IN” on the
back side of the device. The source device only requires
an output with line control. Such outputs are confi gured
either as stereo RCA jacks or as 3.5 mm jack plug. You
can connect these devices to the jacks 18 “AUX IN” with
a corresponding connector cable. You can fi nd such
cables in our webshop (www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
Connecting to a power supply
Connect the jack 19 on the back side of the device with a
power supply socket via the power cord
light 1 on the front of the device will illuminate in blue.
16 17 18 19
햴. The standby
• Split the single-wire down to
approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of
insulation off of each cord.
Twist the single wire so that
no strands are protruding. Tin
coating is not necessary.
• Flip up the connector terminal lever
up or down to open the terminal.
• Insert the stripped cable end into the
terminal opening and then fold the
lever down again. The cable has now
been clamped in place.
Antenna
Danger
Connect the antenna for receiving FM/USW stations to
the jack 17 “FM”. This may be a roof/outside antenna,
but also a cable television connection. You will need a
coaxial connector cable for this.
Risk associated with lightning strike!
If you are using outdoor or roof antennas, be
absolutely sure that the antenna has lightning
protection.

Remote control
A 3-volt button cell, type CR2025 is used to power the
remote control.
This battery is already located in the remote control upon

strip is visible on the back side of the remote control. Just
pull it out carefully. The remote control is now ready for
use.
Changing the batteries
• Hold the remote control with the bottom facing up.
• Remove the screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Pull the battery compartment out of the remote control.
• Take out the old battery (please follow the notes on

• Insert the new battery in the bracket, the symbol “+”
must be visible on the battery and the bracket in the
process.
• Put the bracket back into the unit and push the compartment until it locks into place.
• Tighten the Phillips screw to secure.
Functionality
The remote control relays the control signals by means of
infrared light. For this, the remote control must be pointed
towards the device. Make sure that the infrared light is
not obstructed by objects.
Fluorescent lamps and energy saving lamps installed in
the direct vicinity may affect the functions of the remote
control or even impair them.
