INITIAL OPERATION
• Place the MC 400 on an even surface. Observe the relevant clearance gaps as specified under
“Important safety instructions”.
IMPORTANT
: Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record cases, etc.).
The ventilation slots located on top of the device must be unobstructed at all times!
• Connect your speakers:
The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:
Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 - 2.5 mm². Strip
approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal screws one after the other and
insert the stripped ends into the holes. Re-tighten the terminal screws. Make sure you pay attention to
the correct polarity.
You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.
Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.
• Connect your audio sources.
• Connect the DAB/FM antenna to the antenna connection point at the rear of the device. For later
operation, the position of the antenna should then be determined according to where the best
reception is. The end of antenna should then be secured in the appropriate position, e.g. using a
drawing pin.
Reception can be improved by a suitable indoor or outdoor household antenna if
the reception is not so good.
• Connect the supplied mains cable to the rear and then insert the other end into a 230V socket.
• Actuate the on/off switch on the rear side, the device is now in the standby mode.
• Now switch on the device using the remote control or with the ON/STBY key on the front.
• Select your desired audio source using the input selector switch.
