SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

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

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

—The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

—If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

—The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Note: A 3A fuse is also acceptable for a non-rewireable (moulded) plug which is used for this product.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs and VIDEO CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD or VIDEO CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 63). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD

With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel),

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.


GB

Connection

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround processor or a Dolby Digital/

DTS/MPEG Audio surround processor to your Player’s optical/coaxial digital jack provides richer and more powerful audio play.
