SET-UP AND SAFETY ______________________________________________
Please note the following information when setting up the system:
This stereo system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use
is expressly prohibited.
If you want to set up the stereo system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please
ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of
space at the side, above and at the back of the device.
Please note when setting up the stereo system that furniture surfaces are coated
with various types of paint 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 stereo 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 stereo system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
Do not place the stereo system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the stereo system. Do not insert any
foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartment.
Do not open the stereo system under any circumstances. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the stereo system is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the anten-
na cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION_______
Connecting the antenna
1Insert the rooftop antenna in the antenna socket »FM ANTENNA« on the
stereo system.
Note:
If no rooftop antenna is available, use the auxiliary antenna supplied. This
aerial provides reasonably good reception of local FM (VHF) stations.
Do not shorten the auxiliary antenna.
2Insert the wire frame antenna into the »AM ANTENNA« terminals on the
stereo system. Adjust the position of the wire frame antenna until reception is
at its best.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Connect the loudspeaker cables to the »SPEAKER RL +RL –« terminals on
the stereo system and the »+INPUT –« terminals on the loudspeakers.
Connect the cables labelled in red to the red terminal.
Connecting an external device
1Connect the audio output sockets of the external device (for example a televi-
sion or DVD-player) to the »AUX« sockets on the stereo system using a
cinch cable.
Note:
Switch the stereo system off before you connect external devices.
Make sure the stereo channels are properly connected:
R = right channel (red), L = left channel (white).

ve the polarity marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Note:
If the device no longer reacts properly to remote control commands, the bat-
teries may be flat. Always remove flat batteries. No liability is accepted for
damage resulting from leaking batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which are heavy metal-free, may not be disposed
of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmen-
tally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your
