General Information  
IMPORTANT!  
Safety information  
PLEASE NOTETHATTHE VOLTAGE  
SELECTOR LOCATED ATTHE REAR OF  
THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM  
THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIESTHAT  
OPERATE AT 110V-127V, PLEASE ADJUST  
TO 110V-127V BEFOREYOU SWITCH ON  
THE SYSTEM.  
L 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.  
L Place the system on a flat, hard and stable  
surface.  
Supplied accessories  
L 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.  
– 2 speaker boxes  
– remote control  
– AM loop antenna  
– FM wire antenna  
L Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to  
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources  
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
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).  
L 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.  
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.  
L The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
L 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.

– 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).  
L Position the antenna as far as possible from aTV,  
VCR or other radiation source.

Preparations  
FM Antenna  
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 IN to  
the analogue audio out terminals of an external  
equipment (TV,VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD  
player or CD Recorder).  
L For better FM stereo reception, connect an  
outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA  
terminal.  
C Speakers Connection  
Note:  
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono  
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to  
the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you  
can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output  
sound still remain mono).

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.  
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.
