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

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
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 "-".
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).
