INTRODUCTION
The Myryad MXC7000 Compact Disc Player has been designed
to offer a combination of high quality sound reproduction and
elegant styling in keeping with other Myryad MX products.
The MXC7000 is a full-function remote-controlled CD player
which will play both normal CDs and MP3 discs. It has fixed-level
low-impedance audio outputs to drive a Myryad integrated
amplifier or pre-amplifier or other high quality amplifier. In addition
it has a digital output on a single RCA phono socket (SPDIF
standard), suitable for driving a separate DAC (Digital-to-
Analogue-Converter), and a Smart My-Link® control input and
output.
The MXC7000 offers a range of expansion possibilities:
• The digital output can be used to feed a separate DAC,
digital recorder or processor.
• The Smart My-Link® input can be connected to a Myryad
integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier so that the MXC7000 will
automatically be switched on or off when the amplifier is
switched on or off.
• The My-Link input/output can be coupled to other Myryad
products that can then be remote-controlled via the
MXC7000 's infra-red receiver - or vice-versa.
• The MXC7000 can be controlled from a remote room via its
Smart My-Link® input.
• When linked via the Smart My-Link® to a compatible Myryad
integrated amplifier or preamplifier a number of extra
features become available which make the system as a
whole easier and quicker to operate (see page 7, “System
Operation with Smart My-Link”).
INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
This CD player generates very little heat but still requires some
ventilation. Do not place it on a rug or other soft surface into
which it could sink, obstructing the air inlets in its underside. Do
not allow any obstruction to the ventilation slots in the rear panel.
The CD player should not be installed in a built-in situation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided.
CAUTION: THIS APPARATUS MUST NOT BE EXPOSED
TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. OBJECTS FILLED WITH
LIQUIDS SUCH AS VASES MUST NOT BE PLACED ON THE
APPARATUS.
THE REAR PANEL POWER SWITCH DISCONNECTS MAINS
LIVE ONLY. THE POWER CORD MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE REAR OF THE APPARATUS, OR THE WALL
SOCKET, TO PROVIDE TOTAL ISOLATION. ONE OR OTHER
OF THESE CONNECTIONS MUST BE READILY ACCESSIBLE
WHEN THE APPARATUS IS IN USE.
Do not remove the cover, or attempt to modify or repair the CD
player yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. The
CD laser radiation is Infra-Red, so you cannot see it. If the cover
is removed for any reason, you MUST pay attention to the
following warning.

SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
1. Power Inlet
Before making any connection, check that the mains voltage
setting printed on the rear panel is the same as your local mains
supply.
Plug the female (socket) end of the power cord into the power
inlet on the rear of the CD player. Plug the male (plug) end of the
cord into a "live" wall socket or a suitable heavy-duty extension
cable.
2. Power Switch
Press one side of this rocker switch (the side nearer the edge of
the rear panel) to switch the CD player ON and the other side
(towards the output sockets) to switch it OFF. When the POWER
switch is in the OFF position all power is disconnected from the
CD player. In this condition the CD player cannot be powered up
from the front panel or the remote control. When the POWER
switch is in the ON position (and the power cord correctly inserted
and plugged in to a live wall socket) the CD player will power up
in standby mode (see FRONT PANEL CONTROLS, STANDBY,
page 4).
It is recommended that the POWER switch is turned OFF if the
CD player is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
3. Digital output
This is a serial electrical digital output to the “SPDIF” standard. It
should be connected via a suitable interconnect to the SPDIF
input of a separate DAC (Digital-to-Analogue-Converter), digital
pre-amp or digital recorder. The cable should be of standard 75Ω
impedance for best performance.
4. My-Link input/output
When this CD player is used in a system with other MX-Series
products (or Myryad Z-Series), all may be joined together via the
My-Link. My-Link is a communications bus that allows all the
linked components to operate together as a system and
distributes the remote commands received by any one to each of
the others.
The simplest function provided by the My-Link bus is that all
linked units will switch into or out of standby mode when the
amplifier’s front panel or remote control standby key is pressed.
The My-Link bus allows any linked product to be remote-
controlled via the CD player's infra-red receiver - or vice-versa.
The CD player (or any other product on the My-Link bus) can be
controlled from a remote room via a suitable interface to the My-
Link bus.
Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono) interconnect cable to
connect from the MY-LINK IN socket on the MXC7000 to the MY-
LINK OUT socket on the amplifier. A second cable may then be
run from the MY-LINK OUT socket on MXC7000 to the MY-LINK
IN socket on a Myryad tuner – “daisy-chain” fashion. Further
compatible Myryad products can be linked in the same way,
running from the MY-LINK OUT socket on the tuner. Inexpensive
interconnects may be used as the My-Link bus carries only
control signals, not audio, so these cables have no effect on
sound quality.
When other Myryad products equipped with Smart My-Link®
(e.g., MX-Series or Z-Series) are connected via the My-Link,
many more powerful system features are available (see page 7).
5. Line outputs
These outputs are suited to the “CD” or other “Line” inputs (e.g.
TUNER or AUX) of any integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier.
Never connect to the amplifier’s PHONO inputs.

OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. Standby
When the CD player is plugged into a live wall socket and the
POWER switch is turned ON, it will power up in "standby" mode
and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the display will glow red. In
this mode the internal circuitry of the MXC7000 is powered up but
disabled, so that it consumes little power and its audio output is
muted by a relay.
When the STANDBY ellipse is touched the MXC7000’s circuitry
will be activated and, after a few seconds delay, the audio outputs
will be enabled. During this delay period the LED in the display
will flash blue. When the outputs are un-muted it will glow blue
continuously. The blue-coloured display will illuminate, briefly
showing “READ”, followed by “NO DISC“.
Touch the STANDBY ellipse again - for longer than 2 seconds - to
return to standby mode. The display will briefly read “STANDBY”,
the drawer, if open, will close, the LED in the display will glow red
again and the display will be extinguished.
CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE THE INTERNAL
CIRCUITRY OF THE MXC7000 IS STILL LIVE, SO ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED.
2. Infra-red receiver
The infra-red (IR) remote control receiver is mounted behind the
window, just above the display. It must not be obscured when the
CD player is to be operated using the remote control handset.
Where possible it is best to arrange that the IR receiver is in "line-
of-sight" of the remote handset.
3. Display
The operation of the player is indicated on a high quality blue
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). Track number and track time
are shown, together with indication of the operating mode - see
Figure 1.
Whole CD display (Figure 1)
4. Disc drawer
The OPEN/CLOSE button controls the drawer. The drawer will
close automatically if left open for two minutes or more. It will
accept either normal 120mm CDs, or small 80mm CDs.
5. OPEN/CLOSE
Press this button to open or close the disc drawer. The drawer
may also be closed by pushing the drawer front gently. When the
drawer is open the display will read “OPEN”. When the drawer is
closed with no disc in place the display will indicate “NO DISC“.
The tray will close automatically if left open for two minutes.
When a disc is inserted and the drawer closed the display will
indicate “READ” briefly while it reads the disc’s Table of Contents
(TOC). The display will then show the total number of tracks and
total playing time of the disc (see Figure 2). This condition is
called STOP mode.
Table of contents (Figure 2)
If there is “CD text” information present on the disc the symbol
“CD TEXT” will light and the TOC will be displayed for about 5
seconds, after which the display will indicate the disc title,
scrolling it across the display screen if necessary.
Pressing OPEN/CLOSE also cancels SHUFFLE, REPEAT, DIM
and PROGRAM modes.
6. PLAY/PAUSE
When a disc is present and the player is in STOP mode, a press
of the PLAY/PAUSE key will start the disc playing from the first
track, and light the symbol. A second press of PLAY/PAUSE
will put the player into PAUSE mode and light (see Figure 3).
In PAUSE the disc is still spinning and the laser head is kept at
the same location, so that if PLAY/PAUSE is pressed yet again
the disc will re-start from exactly the same point in the music at
which it was originally paused.
When “Index” information is present on the disc the index number
will be displayed below the “INDEX” icon. With other discs the
index number will always be “0” or “1”.
With the disc drawer open, it is possible to load a disc and press
PLAY/PAUSE directly (without pressing OPEN/CLOSE). This
action causes the drawer to close and the disc to start playing
from the first track. The TOC will not be displayed.
Pause mode (Figure 3)

5
7. STOP
When the STOP button is pressed the music stops playing and
the disc stops spinning. The display will show the TOC (Figure 2).
The player is now in STOP mode.
The player automatically returns to STOP mode when a disc has
finished playing.
8. SKIP/SCAN 
The SKIP/SCAN keys are used to select the track, or section
within a track, to be played. A brief press of one of these keys
invokes the SKIP function. Pressing the key and holding it down
continuously invokes the SCAN function.
While a disc is playing, pressing SKIP/SCAN briefly will cause
the player to skip to the beginning of the next track.
If SKIP/SCAN is pressed once, the player will skip to the
beginning of the current track. If SKIP/SCAN is pressed twice
in quick succession the player will skip to the beginning of the
previous track. Repeated pressing of SKIP/SCAN or will
make the player skip forward or back over any number of tracks.
When playing the last track of a disc, SKIP will “wrap around”
to track 1 (and similarly, SKIP from track 1 will skip to the last
track). The SKIP keys have the same function in PAUSE mode.
The SKIP function may also be used in STOP mode to select a
track number. The selected track will play automatically shortly
after the last key press.
The SCAN function is used to select a specific passage within a
music track. While a disc is playing, pressing SKIP/SCAN or 
and holding it down continuously will cause the laser to scan
rapidly forward (or backward) through the music. Snatches of
music will be heard through the loudspeakers at a reduced
volume level. After the button has been held down for 6-7
seconds the scan will change to a higher speed. When the
SKIP/SCAN key is released, normal play will resume.
If the SCAN function is used in PAUSE mode, the player will scan
normally, but without sound through the loudspeakers – allowing
silent cueing.
It is not possible to SCAN back before the beginning of track 1, or
SCAN forward after the end of the last track.
REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET
OPERATION
The MSR2 handset supplied with the MXC7000 has been
ergonomically designed to be easy and comfortable to use. It will
also control Myryad’s Integrated Amplifiers, Preamplifiers, Tuners
and DVD Players.
See the separate MSR2 System Remote User Manual for details
of its use with these products.
Important. In order to use the MSR2 handset to control your
MXC7000 you must first press the ‘CD’ input select button in the
middle of the handset to switch it to ‘CD/Amplifier’ mode. The
handset will remain in this mode until either the ‘DVD’ or ‘TUN’
key is pressed to change to DVD/Amp or Tuner/Amp mode
respectively.
The functions available in ‘CD mode’ are described as follows.
Stop ( 

 ) and Open/Close (▲)
These two keys operate exactly as the front panel buttons with
the same names.
Play ()and Pause ( 

 )
The handset has separate keys for PLAY and PAUSE. Pressing
PLAY from STOP mode will cause the disc to start playing.
Subsequent pressing of PLAY during PLAY mode will have no
effect. If PAUSE is pressed during PLAY mode, then the player
goes into PAUSE mode. Press PLAY to return to PLAY mode.
Pressing PAUSE in STOP mode will set the player into PAUSE
mode with the disc spinning and the laser aligned at the beginning
of the first track. When PLAY is then pressed the music will start
playing instantly.
Skip

The remote control SKIP keys carry out exactly the same SKIP
function as the front panel keys, but they cannot perform the
SCAN function.
Scan 




These keys allow direct access to the SCAN function which can
also be accomplished by pressing and holding down one of the
front panel SKIP/SCAN keys.
Track number keys
Direct access to any track is possible using the numbered keys on
the remote handset. To play a specific track (e.g. track 26) press
the track number keys “2” then “6”. After the second key is
pressed the player will play track 26. If only one key (e.g. key “2”)
is pressed, the player will pause briefly before playing track 2.
Single digit tracks may be accessed instantly by pressing a “0”
before the single digit or by pressing PLAY after the single digit.
A track number may be entered in STOP mode or with the tray
open and the track will play automatically.
TIME (including CD Text)
When there is no CD text information present on the disc the
TIME key controls only what is shown in the time (MIN and SEC)
section of the display. During normal play and in pause mode the
display shows the elapsed time of the track currently being played
(see Figure 3). If TIME is pressed once, the remaining time of the
current track is displayed. If TIME is pressed again, the remaining
time of the whole disc is displayed and the track number is
blanked. When remaining time is displayed, the time is preceded
by a “−” sign. A third press of the TIME key returns the display to
the normal indication of elapsed track time.
When there is CD text information on the disc the symbol “CD
TEXT” will light at the bottom right of the display and the TIME
key will have additional functions. While playing a track, the
display will show the track number and elapsed track time for
about 5 seconds. It will then show the track title, scrolled if
necessary, for a few seconds (see Figure 4), followed by the track
number and elapsed track time once more.
CD text – track title (Figure 4)
When the TIME key is pressed during play the display will as
described in the table below.
TIME key operation in play mode with CD Text
No. of “TIME” presses Display
Normal operation (0) Track number & elapsed track time for
5s, followed by track title, followed by
track number and time once more.
1 Track title, scrolled if necessary and
re-scrolled every 40s.
2 Track number & elapsed track time
3 Track number & remaining track time
4 Remaining time on whole disc
5 Return to “normal operation”.
If TIME is pressed in STOP mode, the display will switch from
displaying the disc title to displaying the artist. A second press will
display the TOC (the total number of tracks and total disc time). A
third press will return the display to showing the disc title.

6
SHUFFLE
When the SHUFFLE key is pressed “SHUFFLE ALL” will be
shown briefly in the display, the SHUFFLE icon will light at the
bottom of the display and the MXC7000 will shuffle all the tracks
into random order in its memory. The track calendar is
automatically switched on in SHUFFLE mode. If SHUFFLE is
pressed whilst in stop mode, the player will immediately select the
first track of its shuffled selection and start playing. If SHUFFLE is
pressed in play mode, the current track will continue playing, but
when it ends the next track in the shuffled selection will be played.
In SHUFFLE mode, when any track ends, the next track in the
shuffled selection will be played, and so on until all the tracks on
the disc have been played. Pressing SKIP will cause the player
to play the next in the shuffled selection. SKIP may be used to
skip backwards through the shuffled selection.
Pressing SHUFFLE again returns the player to normal operation.
The display will briefly read “CANCEL” and the SHUFFLE icon will
be extinguished. Pressing STOP when in STOP mode, or
OPEN/CLOSE will also cancel shuffle mode.
REPEAT
A single press of the REPEAT key puts the player into REPEAT 1
mode. The display will briefly read “REPEAT 1” and the
“REPEAT 1” icon will be lit at the bottom of the display. The
currently playing track will play to the end and then be repeated -
ad infinitum. The track number keys may be used to move to a
different track while remaining in Repeat 1 mode.
When the REPEAT key is pressed a second time, REPEAT ALL
mode is engaged. The display will briefly read “REPEAT ALL” and
the “REPEAT” icon will be lit at the bottom of the display. When
the disc has played to the end it will immediately return to the first
track and start playing again - ad infinitum.
A third press of the REPEAT key returns the player to normal
operation. The display will briefly read “CANCEL” and the
REPEAT icon will be extinguished. Pressing OPEN/CLOSE or
STOP followed by STOP will also cancel Repeat mode.
Repeat All and Shuffle modes may be used together if desired
and may be selected in either order.
REPEAT A-B
The “A-B” key allows a specified section of a track or disc to be
repeated. First play the CD until it reaches the desired start point
and press the “A-B” key. The display will briefly read
“REPEAT A-“ and an icon will light reading “REPEAT A -” with
“A-“ flashing. Continue to play the disc until the desired end point
is reached and press the “A-B” key again. The display will then
briefly read “REPEAT A-B”, the “REPEAT A-B” icon will light and
the desired selection will be played repeatedly.
To cancel A-B repeat mode, press the “A-B” key once more, the
“REPEAT A-B” icon will be switched off and normal play will
resume.
Pressing SKIP , SCAN , STOP, or opening the drawer
will also exit REPEAT A-B mode.
DIM (Calendar and Display Off)
The DIM key may be used to activate the track calendar or to
switch the display off while a disc is playing. The first press of the
DIM key will switch on the track calendar at the right hand side of
the display. The calendar displays the number of the current track
and all the other tracks that have not yet been played (up to track
20). It is automatically switched on in SHUFFLE and PROGRAM
modes.
A second press of the DIM key will switch the player into Display
Off mode and turn the display off. A third press will turn the
display on again. When the display is switched off, operation of
any of the player’s controls - on the front panel or remote control -
will cause the display to switch on for about 3 seconds, before it
switches off again.
A third press of the DIM key returns the display to its original state.
In STOP mode the second press of the DIM key does not blank
the display but still switches the player into Display Off mode –
indicated briefly by “DISPLAY OFF” in the display. In this mode,
when a disc is played the display will switch off after about 3
seconds. A third press cancels Display Off mode and the display
briefly shows “DISPLAY ON”.
The DIM key has no effect when there is no disc or if the disc
drawer is open. DIM mode is cancelled when the drawer is
opened.
PROGRAM
An individual compilation of tracks may be played by using the
PROGRAM function. Up to 30 tracks can be included in a
program in any order - including repeats of the same track if
desired. The procedure for storing a program is as follows.
In STOP mode press the PROGRAM key to go to Program Enter
mode. The display will indicate PROGRAM briefly and light the
PROGRAM icon at the bottom of the display. Use the number
keys on the remote control to enter the number of the first track to
be programmed (one or two digits as necessary).
When the track number has been entered it will appear in the
“track” section of the display, followed by “P01”, indicating that
this is the first programmed track. The track number will also
appear in the track calendar to the right of the display.
Proceed to enter the second track in the same manner. If you
make an error, press the STOP button or the STOP key on the
remote and the currently displayed programmed track will be
deleted. Continue entering tracks until your program is complete.
The display will show the last programmed track to the left, the
number of tracks programmed in the centre, and the total program
time on the right. A typical display is shown in Fig. 5 where 6
tracks have been programmed, and track 20 has just been
entered.
Program mode (Figure 5)
Press PROGRAM to enter Program Stop mode where the display
will indicate just the total number of programmed tracks and the
total program time.
The programmed selection can be played by pressing PLAY or
PLAY/PAUSE from Program Enter or Program Stop mode. All the
other controls function as normal including SHUFFLE and
REPEAT, but only REPEAT ALL is available. The TIME function
allows display of the remaining track time or the remaining time of
the program. Pressing STOP will return the player to Program
Stop mode.
If STOP is pressed in Program Stop mode (or if the drawer is
opened) the program will be erased and the player will return to
normal Stop mode. If PROGRAM is pressed in Program Stop
mode the player will go to Program Enter mode so that more
tracks may be entered.
Standby
Pressing the STANDBY key sends the command to switch your
Myryad Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier into or out of standby.
If the MXC7000 is My-Linked to the Integrated Amplifier or
Preamplifier then it too will be switched into or out of standby.
It is also possible to switch only the MXC7000 into or out of
standby by using the “CD STANDBY” command. Press and hold
down the “CD” key (in the middle of the handset), then press the
STANDBY key at the same time. This will switch the standby
status of the MXC7000 without affecting any other unit.

7
PLAYING MP3 DISCS
The MXC7000 plays MP3 music discs in very much the same way
as CDs but there are a few differences, described below. It is
recommended that all discs should be finalised before playing, or
they may take an excessive time to load.
STOP mode
When the disc is first loaded the display will briefly read
“DATA DISC”, followed by the MP3 TOC display which takes the
form “163 F12” – meaning the disc has a total of 163 tracks
spread across 12 separate folders.
PLAY mode
When PLAY is pressed the disc will start playing at track 1 of
folder 1. Skip, Scan and Pause commands operate normally. A
typical display is shown in Figure 6 – with track 11 of folder 5
currently playing.
MP3 play mode display (Figure 6)
Folder skip
To skip to the next folder or previous folder, press the left or right
navigation keys: or on either side of the “SEL” key on the
remote. When one of these keys is pressed the player will go to
the next folder or the previous folder respectively and start playing
the first track of that folder.
Track number keys
When playing an MP3 disc the track number keys select the track
number within the current folder. If the player is in Stop mode, or if
a track number is entered with the drawer open, the track will be
chosen within folder 1.
If a track number is entered which is not present in the relevant
folder, the entry will be ignored. The maximum track number
which can be entered is 999.
TIME
With MP3 discs the TIME key operates in a similar way as with
CDs in Stop mode.
In Play mode the TIME key will step between Track Title, Artist
Name, Album Title (if present on the disc) and track elapsed time
displays. There are no “remaining time” displays available with
MP3s. This operation is summarised in the table below.
TIME key operation in play mode with MP3 discs
No. of “TIME” presses Display
Normal operation (0) Track number & elapsed track time for
5s, followed by track title, followed by
track number and time once more.
1 Track title, scrolled if necessary and
re-scrolled every 40s.
2 Track number & elapsed track time
3 Artist’s name, scrolled if necessary
4 Album title, scrolled if necessary
5 Return to “normal operation”.
SHUFFLE
Shuffle mode works with MP3 discs in the same way as it does
with CDs, but with two shuffle options – SHUFFLE FOLDER and
SHUFFLE ALL. There is no track calendar available with MP3
discs.
REPEAT
The repeat command works in a similar way as with CDs, but
there is the addition of the “Repeat Folder” option.
The first press of REPEAT sets Repeat 1 mode, displays
“REPEAT ONE” briefly and lights the REPEAT 1 icon. The
second press sets Repeat Folder mode, displays “REPEAT FOL”
briefly and lights the REPEAT icon. The third press sets Repeat
All mode, displays “REPEAT ALL” briefly and the REPEAT icon
remains alight. Finally, a fourth press will cancel repeat mode and
“CANCEL” will be displayed briefly.
Repeat All and Shuffle All modes may be used together if desired
and may be selected in either order.
REPEAT A-B
Repeat A-B is not available with MP3 discs.
DIM
The track calendar is not available with MP3 discs. The DIM key
therefore only switches between Display On and Display Off
modes.
PROGRAM
The PROGRAM function is not available with MP3 discs.

SYSTEM OPERATION WITH
SMART MY-LINK
®
When used as a linked system (which must include a Smart My-
Link® equipped Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier) Myryad
products equipped with Smart My-Link® have a number of extra
features that make the system as a whole easier and quicker to
use than a normal hi-fi. These include:
Start-on-Play (CD)
Press play on the CD player (or the remote control) and both the
CD player and amplifier will switch out of standby (if necessary)
and play the CD. The amplifier will automatically select the CD
source.
Start-on-Open (CD)
With the units in standby, press open/close on the CD player and
both the CD player and amplifier will switch out of standby and the
CD drawer will open. The amplifier will automatically select the
CD source.
Intelligent Input Selection (Amplifier)
Press a source select button on the remote control and the
system will awaken (if in standby) only the amplifier and the
selected source.
Mute/Pause Control (Amplifier/CD)
When using the CD player, selecting mute from the remote
control will mute the amplifier and pause the CD. When the
amplifier mute is cancelled, the CD will continue playing.
Power-Saving Mode (Amplifier)
The amplifier will switch the CD Player or Tuner into standby if
either source remains unselected for more than ten minutes.
Automatic Switch-On (CD/Tuner)
If the standby button on the CD player or Tuner is pressed, the
amplifier will also awaken and select the correct source.
CARE AND HANDLING OF
COMPACT DISCS
•Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the
disc’s signal surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Unlike
vinyl records, the CD has no grooves to collect microscopic
debris, so gentle wiping with a soft cloth should remove
most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to
the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains
should have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
•Never use chemicals such as record sprays or fluid,
benzene or other solvents to clean CDs. Such chemicals
will irreparably damage the disc’s plastic surface.
•Discs should be returned to their case after use to avoid
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip.
•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity or high
temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures can warp the disc
•Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball-point pen on
the disc surface.
INSTALLING AND REPLACING
BATTERIES
The remote handset uses two 1.5 V type AAA batteries. To fit
new batteries first open the battery compartment in the rear of the
handset and remove any existing batteries. Fit the new ones as
directed by the symbols moulded inside the battery compartment,
then replace the battery compartment cover.
The batteries should always be removed if they are discharged
(indicated by no remote control operation or by operation only at
very short range), or if the remote control is not going to be used

Some of the most common problems:
No sound:
• Power turned off or system in standby mode. Check that the
blue LED in the display window is illuminated.
• UK version only: The fuse in the mains plug has failed.
Check and replace if necessary.
Disc does not PLAY:
• No CD is inserted. Insert a CD, label side up.
• The CD has been loaded upside down. Re-load the disc
label side up.
• The CD is badly scratched or dirty. Check the CD and clean
or replace as necessary.
The CD skips part of the music:
• The CD is badly scratched or dirty. Check the CD and clean
or replace as necessary.
Sound in one channel only:
• Interconnect cable pulled loose or making poor contact.
Check and, if necessary, un-plug and re-plug all cables.
Loud buzz or hum:
• Interconnect cable pulled partially out of its socket.
• Defective interconnect cable.
Standby ellipse does not respond:
• If standby ellipse is touched continuously for more than 10
seconds the standby operation will ‘lock-out’. Leave ellipse
untouched for a further 10 seconds, after which it will
operate normally. Always operate the ellipse with a brief
touch – no more than 3-4 seconds is recommended.
Incorrect operation - some functions not working:
•Control processor latched. Switch off POWER on rear panel
and wait for at least one minute. Then switch POWER on
and switch out of standby. Normal operation should resume.
