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.

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).
