General Information

MPORTANT!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE

SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OF

THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM

THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES THAT

OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUST

TO 110V-127V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON

THE SYSTEM.

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes

– remote control

– MW loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

– AC power cord

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 specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

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.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

● Don’t expose the system to dripping or splashing.

● The lens may cloud over when the system is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.

Leave the system in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

● The mechanical parts of the set contain selflubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power.

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

The type plate is located at the rear of the system.

A Power

– Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made.

– If your system is equipped with a Voltage

Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the local power line voltage.

WARNING!

– For optimal performance, use only the original power cable.

– Never make or change any connections with the power switched on.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down

before reusing it (not available for all versions).

Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

MW Antenna

Fix the claw to the slot

● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,

VCR or other radiation source.

FM Antenna

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

Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to

"L", coloured (marked) wire to "+" and black

(unmarked) wire to "-".

1 2

● Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

Notes:

– For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers.

– Do not connect more than one speaker to any

one pair of +/- speaker terminals.

– Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Preparations

Optional connection

The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details.

Connecting other equipment to your system

Use a cinch cable to connect AUX/CDR to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder).

Note:

– If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).

Inserting batteries into the remote control

Insert two batteries (Type R03 or AAA) into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION!

– Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time.

– Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination.

– Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.
