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 compartment.
Do not open the stereo system under any circumstances. The manufacturer will
not accept any 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 socket »FM EXT« on the stereo
system.
Note:
If no rooftop antenna is available, use the auxiliary aerial 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 EXT« terminals on the stereo
system. Adjust the position of the wire aerial until reception is at its best.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Connect the loudspeaker cables to the »SPEAKERS
xRyx
Ly « 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 »AUX IN« sockets on the stereo system
using a cinch cable.
2Use cinch cables to connect the audio input sockets of the external device
(e.g. a cassette recorder) to the »R LINE OUT L« sockets on the stereo
system.
Note:
Switch off the stereo system when connecting external devices. Make sure the
stereo channels are properly connected:
R = right channel (red), L= left channel (white).
