CAUTION - USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN

THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

THE PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY

ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5 ° C or exceeding 35 ° C) or where direct sunlight may strike it.

Because of the CD player’s extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large output from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.

When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be inside and turn the power off. Wait at least 10 seconds, then unplug the mains lead from the AC outlet. Carrying the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or the unit.

Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause condensation to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out the disc, leave the unit for about 1 hour, and then proceed to operate.

The system’s speakers use powerful magnets. Do not place timepieces, credit cards, cassette tapes or video tapes, etc. near the speakers.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.

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

Connect the blue speaker wire to the red terminal + and the other wire to the black terminal - .

Aerial

FM aerials

In areas close to a transmitter the simple indoor aerial is sufficient to receive broadcasts. Extend the aerial wire as straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from the system, secure it in a position which yields minimal distortion and noise.

In fringe areas or where reception is distorted or noisy an external aerial (not suppiled) should be connected instead of the simple indoor aerial. Consult your dealer.

AM loop aerial

Assemble the loop aerial as shown in figure.

Unwind the aerial wires, then connect them to the AM LOOP terminals. Place the loop aerial in a position which yields the best AM reception, or attach it to a wall or other surface as shown in figure.

Note:

To minimize noise, the speaker, mains and any other leads should not come close to the FM aerial lead and AM loop aerial. Do not place the aerial leads close to the system.
