Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:
The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use
is expressly prohibited.
If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please
ensure that it is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of space
at the side, above and behind the hi-fi system.
When setting up the hi-fi, remember that furniture is often coated with
various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives.
These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave
stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to
remove.
If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example
when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before
using it.
The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors,
make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water.
Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
Do not place any vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on the hi-fi
system. Do not insert any foreign objects in the CD compartment. Do not
place any objects such as burning candles on the hi-fi system.
Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. Warranty
claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the hi-fi system
is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the
antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a
storm.

Connecting the antennas
1Plug the roof antenna cable into the antenna socket »FM
ANTENNA« on the hi-fi.
Notes:
Switch the »INT. EXT.« (on the back of the hi-fi) to »EXT.« for
connecting the roof antenna. If no roof antenna is available,
use »INT. EXT.« to switch to »INT.« (received by the in-built
FM antenna).
Instead of the in-built antenna you can also use the auxiliary
antenna supplied (switch position »EXT.«). This antenna pro-
vides reasonably good reception of local FM (VHF) channels.
Do not shorten the auxiliary antenna.
2Plug in the loop antenna cable supplied into the »AM
ANTENNA« socket on the hi-fi system. Adjust the position of
the wire loop antenna until you get the best reception.
Connecting the power cord
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the back of
the hi-fi system) corresponds to your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the hi-fi system from the mains
supply is to pull out the plug.
1Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
Connecting the headphones
1Insert the headphone plug (3.5 mm) into the »y« socket under
the front flap of the hi-fi.
– The loudspeakers of the hi-fi system are switched off.

the hi-fi system to the audio output socket of the external device
with a stereo jack plug (3,5 mm).
Note:
If the external device is connected using the front audio input
socket, the back audio input socket is deactivated.
2Connect the audio output socket »AUX OUTPUT« on the back
of the hi-fi system to the audio input socket of the external
device with a stereo jack plug (3,5 mm).
