Wiring the Mains Power Supply Plug(UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted. If the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

IMPORTANT

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

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:–

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured

BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E OR BY

THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

Safety Precautions

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using or moving your micro-component system.

.

Ambient operating conditions:

Ambient temperature 5°C-35°C

Humidity 10-75%

Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation or other heat sources.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

Do not place potted plants or vases on top of the unit. Moisture entering the unit could lead to dangerous electric shock and can cause equipment damage. In such events immediately disconnect the main plug from the socket.

During thunderstorms, disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Main voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

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.

Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.

2

Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from your local dealer).

Tape Decks

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 odour 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.

Do not remove any equipment panels.

The inside of the unit contains live components, which 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.
