Connecting the AM (MW)/LW Aerial

The AM aerial (for long and medium waves) can be:

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.

Cleaning Your Micro Component

System

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

1

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.

UP

VOLUME

DOWN

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.

1 2

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, 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.

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.

Precautions When Using Compact

Discs

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.

Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

COMPACT Always use compact discs marked .

DIGITAL AUDIO

Precautions When Using Audio

Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taut.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.
