POWER SUPPLY SETTING
e Check that the type plate on the rear of your changer
indicates the correct power voltage.
e |f your power supply voltage is different, consult your dealer
or a Philips Authorized Service Center.
Certain versions of this changer are equipped with a voltage
selector 5, which enables you to set the player to the correct
power supply voltage yourself. When changing the voltage
setting, it is also necessary to change the main fuse 4 to one of
the correct rating: T200 mA (slow blow fuse) for 110/127 V;
T80 mA (slow blow fuse) for 220 V - 230 V/ 230 V - 240 V.
SITING THE COMPACT DISC CHANGER
Free standing
e Always position the changer horizontally on a flat, firm surface.
e Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the changer so as
not to interfere with the cooling of the changer.
In an audio rack
e The changer can be sited in any desired position.
Stacked
e Site the changer preferably at the bottom or at the top.
e Never position the changer directly on top of a high-power
amplifier/receiver, as such an amplifier/receiver gives off a
substantial amount of heat.
