-

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.

PRECAUTIONS

-1-

-

Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause condensa-
tion 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 vase, shall be placed on the
apparatus.

Video/Auxiliary equipment

Connect audio leads (not supplied) from the audio output sockets of a
video equipment to the VIDEO (AUDIO) sockets.

Headphones

Connect stereo headphones (not supplied) to the PHONES socket for
monitoring or for private listening. The speakers are automatically

Note:
-

Do not connect the mains lead to an AC outlet until all connections
have been made.

-

The system is not completely disconnected from the mains when the

z

/ON button is set to the 

z

 position.

Speakers

Connect the connector of the left speaker lead to the “L” SPEAKERS
socket and the connector of the right speaker lead to the “R” socket.
If you have difficulty inserting the speaker lead connector, turn it over and
reinsert it.

FM aerials

The FM indoor aerial is sufficient to receive most local FM broadcasts
and should be connected to the FM 75

 terminal. 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 receptions is distorted or noisy, an FM outdoor
aerial (not supplied) should be connected instead of the simple indoor
aerial. Consult your dealer.

Video equipment

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 indoor or outdoor aerial lead and AM
loop aerial. Do not place the aerial leads
close to the system.
