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.
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 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
antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION_______
Connecting the antenna
1Insert the rooftop antenna in the »ANTENNA FM EXT« socket on the
stereo system.
Note:
If no rooftop antenna system is available, use the auxiliary antenna supplied.
This antenna provides reasonably good reception of local FM (VHF) stations.
Do not shorten the auxiliary antenna.
2Insert the wire antenna into the »ANTENNA AM EXT« terminals on the
stereo system. Adjust the position of the wire antenna until reception is at its
best.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Connect the loudspeaker cables to the »SPEAKERS RL + RL –« terminals
on the stereo system and the »+ INPUT –« terminals on the loudspeakers.
Connect the cables labelled in red to »+«.
Connecting an external device
1Connect the audio output sockets of the external device (for example a
television or DVD player) to the »LINE IN (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).

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION_______________________________________
Connecting a digital recording device
1Use an OPTICAL cable to connect the »DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT« jack on
the stereo system to the appropriate jack on the external device (e.g. MD or
CDR).
Note:
This socket enables you to record CD playback with a digital recording
device.
Connecting headphones
1Insert the headphone plug (ø 3.5 mm) into the »PHONES« socket on the
front of the stereo system.
– The loudspeakers of the stereo system are switched off.
Connecting the power cord
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the back of the device)
corresponds to your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to pull out the
plug.
1Plug the mains cable supplied into the »~AC IN« socket on the device.
2Insert the mains cable plug into the mains socket.

Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a
fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:
The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
1Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
2Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
3Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath oft the lead – not simply over the two wires.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION_______________________________________
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
1Open the battery compartment by pushing down the lid of the battery
compartment.
2When inserting the batteries (micro type, for example AA, R6, UM3),
observe the polarity marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Note:
If the device no longer reacts properly to remote control commands, the
batteries 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 environ-
mentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in
your area.

RDS time
Some stations transmit RDS time information.
1To call up RDS time information, keep pressing »DISPLAY« on the remote
control until »CT« appears in the display.
– After a short time you will see the current time in the display.
Note:
The time display is updated every minute. The accuracy depends on the
information transmitted by the station itself. You must be tuned to the RDS
station for several minutes before the time information can be received.
If no RDS information is transmitted, »NO CT« appears in the display, »CT«
goes out and the name of the station appears after a short time.
Radiotext
Some RDS stations transmit information known as Radiotext. This is additional
information about the station and its programmes. Radiotext appears as ticker
text in the display. As this information is transmitted character by character, it
may take some time before the text is received in full.
1To call up Radiotext keep pressing »DISPLAY« on the remote control until
»RT« appears in the display.
– The information appears after a short time.
Note:
If reception is poor there may be gaps in the Radiotext message.
If no Radiotext is transmitted, »NO RT« appears in the display, »RT« goes out
and the name of the station appears after a short time.
