Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug(UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indi- cated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:???

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:???

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS

MARKED WITH THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR

COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

Where to Install Your

Mini-Compact System

To take full advantage of your new mini-compact system, follow these installation instructions before connecting the unit.

Install the system on a flat, stable surface.

Never place this unit on carpeting.

Never place this unit in an outdoor area.

Maintain an open space of approximately 4 inches (10 cm) on the sides and rear of the system, for ventilation purposes.

Make sure that you have enough room to open the compact disc compartment easily.

Place the loudspeakers at a reasonable distance on either side of the system to ensure good stereo sound.

Direct the loudspeakers towards the listening area.

For optimum performance, make sure that both speakers are placed at an equal distance above the floor.

Inserting Remote Control Batteries

Connecting the Loudspeakers

The loudspeaker connector terminals are located on the rear of the system.

There are four terminals on the system:

Two for the left speaker (marked L)

Two for the right speaker (marked R)

To achieve the correct sound quality, connect the:

Red wire to the + terminals

Black wire to the - terminals

Connecting the AM (MW) Aerial

The AM aerial (for long and medium waves) can be:

Placed on a stable surface

Fixed to the wall

The AM aerial connector terminals are located on the rear of the system and are marked AM.

To avoid noise interference, check that the loudspeaker wires do not run close to the aerial wires.

Always keep them at least 2 inches (5 cm) away.

(IMPEDANCE 4???)

Connecting the FM Aerial

There are two types of aerial, (depending on option chosen).

1 How to connect a COAXIAL TYPE aerial.

Connect a 75??? antenna to the FM antenna terminal.

Plug the connector on the FM aerial supplied into the coaxial socket (75???) marked FM on the rear of the system.

Follow the instructions given on Page 10 to tune into a radio station, and determine the best position for the aerial.

If reception is poor, you may need to install an outdoor aerial.

To do so, connect an outdoor FM aerial to the FM socket on the rear of the system using a 75??? coaxial cable (not supplied).

FMFM

2 How to connect a SCREW TYPE aerial.

The FM aerial connector terminals are located on the rear of the system and marked FM (75???).

Spread the T.form FM aerial out and attach the ends to a wall, in the position providing the best reception.

Insert or replace remote control batteries when you:

Safety Precautions

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using or moving your mini-compact system.

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact

System

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing

The compact disc player

The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it

If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing

Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids get into the system.

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odour when in use, unplug it from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.

Precautions When Using Audio

Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.

Before Contacting the After-Sales

Service

It always takes a little time to become familiar with a new appliance. If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.

C The tape does not start playing

Connecting Headphones

You can connect a set of headphones to your mini-compact system so that you can listen to music or radio programmes without disturbing other people in the room. The earphones must have a 6.3 mm jack or an appropriate adapter.

Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack on the front panel. Result: The loudspeakers are no longer used to output the sound.

Remove the batteries from the remote control, if not used for any extended periods.

Leaking batteries can cause serious damage to the remote control.

When using headphones, take care not to listen at excessive volumes. Extended use of headphones at high volumes will lead to hearing damage.

Precautions When Using Compact

Discs

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.

Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

T The volume falls off

Prolonged use of headphones at a high volume may damage your hearing.

Do not place heavy items on the main lead. Main cable damage can lead to damage of the equipment (fire hazard) and can cause electric shock.

Do not remove any equipment panels. The inside of the unit

contains live components, which cause electric shock.

Always use compact discs marked. COMPACT
