SET-UP AND SAFETY______________________________________________
To ensure that this high-quality, easy-to-use HiFi system will provide lasting
satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions when
setting it up:
This HiFi system is designed for the playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Select the location of the system in a way that leaves about 1.5 to 3 m of room
on either side of the HiFi system.
Set up the system about 30 cm from the wall.
If the stereo system is subjected to extreme variation in temperature,
for example if brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect the mains
supply and let it stand for at least two hours before inserting a CD or cassette.
The HiFi is designed for use in dry rooms. Make sure to protect your HiFi system
from moisture.
Do not place the HiFi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects into the CD or cassette compartments.
Never open the HiFi casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts
no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

SET-UP AND SAFETY_________________________________________________________________
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HiFi is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
If the stereo system no longer scans CDs perfectly, use a commercially available
cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the
laser optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the
laser optics.
This HiFi system sucessfully fuses technology and environmental friendliness into
a coherent package. Only ecologically compatible, high quality materials have
been used. The packaging consists of almost 100 % recycled paper and the
amount of plastic used has been reduced to a minimum. The batteries delivered
do not contain mercury or cadmium, and for environmental reasons, back-up
batteries have not been used. The range of materials used has been deliberately
restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. In order to optimise
recycling and to facilitate servicing, this HiFi system can be disassembled easily.

Tuning to radio stations
There are 59 preset positions for storing radio stations.
There are two ways to set the preset stations:
The first method is to initiate an automatic search.
The HiFi automatically stores all stations which can be received at your location.
The second method allows you to search for a station directly and then store it
manually with the preset number of your choice.
Option 1 (Page 20)
Automatic Search Programming.
With this option the HiFi system first looks for RDS stations, then for other
stations with strong signals and finally for weak signals.
The radio stations are automatically stored at the next free preset number.
Option 2 (Page 21)
Manual station search.
This option enables you to search for individual stations.
