GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information

• The typeplate (which contains the serial number) is located at the rear of the system.

• Recording is permissible if copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed.

• This device complies with the

Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) rules, part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation is subjected to the following two conditions:

– This device may not cause harmful interference, and

– This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Accessories

(Supplied)

– Remote control

– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control

– AM loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

– AC power cord

– CD Recorder

Safety Information

• Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer. The typeplate is located at the rear of your system.

• When the system is switched on, do not move it around.

• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system.

• The system incorporates a built-in safety feature that prevents over heating.

• Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.

• Under no circumstances should you repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty!

SAFETY INFORMATION

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the CD unit inside the system. Should this occur, the

CD player will not operate normally.

Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

• Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected problems. See whether these problems disappear if you unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again after a few seconds.

• To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Connections general

The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track). (The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances). If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will ensure very good audio performance when recordings are made from the analog input.

Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality

Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a very good sound quality via the analog output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital recording is not possible.

A AM Loop Antenna

Connection

Connect the supplied loop antenna to the

AM ANTENNA terminal. Place the AM loop antenna far away from the system and adjust its position for the best reception.

D Subwoofer Out Connection

Connect the optional active subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just the low bass effect (e.g. explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.). Be sure to follow the instructions supplied with the subwoofer.

B FM Wire Antenna

Connection

Connect the supplied FM wire antenna to the FM ANTENNA 300

Ω

terminal. Adjust the position of the FM antenna for the best reception.

Outdoor Antenna

For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA

300

Ω

terminal using a 300

Ω

dipole wire.

C Speakers Connection

• Connect the right speaker to Front terminal R, with the colored wire to + and the black wire to -.

• Connect the left speaker to Front terminal L, with the colored wire to + and the black wire to -.

• Clip the stripped portion of the speaker wire as shown.

12 mm

E CD Recorder Connections

ANALOG CONNECTIONS

Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.

For recording

Connect cable between the ANALOG INsockets on the CD recorder and the LINE

OUT sockets on the mini system, or the

CDR LINE- or TAPE OUT-sockets of an amplifier.

Note:

– For recording directly from a CD player, the analog input of the CD recorder should be connected to the analog output of the CD player.

For playback

Connect cable between the ANALOG OUTsockets on the CD recorder and the AUX/

CDR IN sockets on the mini system, or the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. TAPE IN,

CDR or AUX.

Note:

– Never use the PHONO input.

unlock lock

PREPARATION

DIGITAL COAXIAL CONNECTIONS

For recording

Connect the cable between the DIGITAL INsocket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL

OUT-socket on the mini system or CD player.

For playback

Connect the cable between the DIGITAL

OUT-socket on the CD recorder and the digital coaxial input of an amplifer or recording device.

Note:

– Digital coaxial connection is only required in case you wish to record from a CD player with digital coaxial output.

DIGITAL OPTICAL CONNECTIONS

For recording

Connect a fibre-optic cable

(not supplied) between the IN OPTICAL of the CD recorder and the digital-optical output of a

CD player.

Notes:

– Digital optical connection is only required in case you wish to record from a CD player with digital optical output.

– For playback, the digital coaxial output or analog output should be connected to an amplifier.

– When connecting the Digital Optical cable, make sure it is fully inserted until there is a click.

F AC Power Supply

After all other connections have been made, connect the AC power cord to the system and to the wall outlet.

Inserting batteries into the

Remote Control

• Insert the batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the remote control as shown in the battery compartment.

• To avoid damage from possible battery leakage, remove dead batteries or batteries that will not be used for a long time. For replacement, use type R06 or

AA batteries.
