Factory fitted moulded mains plug
1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use
only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the
fuse in the moulded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If
the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved ex-
tension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a
three-pin plug.

System connection
This figure shows the method of connection between the main unit and provided accessories.
AM loop antenna
The supplied antenna is for indoor use. Place it as
far as possible from the main system, TV set,
speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a direc-
tion which provides the best reception.
Connect the components as shown in the diagram.
Only plug the power cord into a power outlet once
connections are completed.
The magnet in the speaker may cause color irregu-
larity to the TV or PC monitor. Place the speaker
farther away from the TV set or PC monitor.
CAUTION Note on Connection
Connection of the System Accessories
Speaker (Right)
÷Never short-circuit the "+" and "–" speaker cords.
÷If the "+" and "–" polarity are inverted, the sound will be unnatural with unclear positioning of musical instru-
ments, etc.
÷Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be
produced or noise may interfere.
÷Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. If
connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may result.
AM loop antenna
Assemble
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventila-
tion will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
÷Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation
onto the top of the unit.
