Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug(UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The main 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 removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in 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 main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the main 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.

Direct the loudspeakers towards the listening area.

For optimum performance, make sure that both speakers are placed at an equal distance above the floor.

Connecting the Loudspeakers

The loudspeaker connector terminals are located on the rear of the system.

There are four terminals on the system:

Two for the left speaker (marked L)

Two for the right speaker (marked R)

To achieve the correct sound quality, connect the:

Red wire to the + terminals

Black wire to the – terminals

1

What is MP3?

MP3 means MPEG1 Layer 3, the global standard for audio signal compression technology. It uses digital compression technology to compress original sound data by up to 12 times without sound quality degradation.

File Compatibility

The unit will playback files created in MP3 format

(Mpeg1.Layer3) with *.mp3 as their extension.

Files created in MP2 format (Mpeg1.Layer2) with

*.mp2 as their extension can also be played back.

How many MP3 files can a CD-R or CD-RW disc record?

The maximum capacity of one CD-R or CD-RW disc is

680MB.

Normally, one MP3 file has a capacity of 4MB, therefore approximately 170 files can be recorded on a single disc.

Searching for a Specific Music

It is recommended that you turn the volume down before using this function.

Regarding the playback of CD-R/RW

In the case of an original CD-R(Recordable) recorded in audio CD format, CD-RW(Rewitable) and editing by the user, playback is processed on the respective completed status. (The player may not be played back according to the characteristics of the CD or recorded status.)

The CD-RW is comparably less reflexive than CD which causes more time delay to read.

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 .

Precautions When Using Audio

Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

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.
