The type plate is located on the rear of the unit.
1Check whether the power voltage as shown on the type
plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does
not, consult your dealer or service organization.
2
Make sure all connections have been made before
switching on the power supply.
3Connect the supplied power cable to AC MAINS ~ and to
the power outlet. This switches on the power supply.
For optimal performance use only the original power
cable.
When the unit is switched to standby, it is still consuming
some power. To disconnect the unit from the power
completely, remove the power cable from the power outlet.
To avoid overheating of the unit, a safety circuit has
been built in. Therefore, your unit may disconnect
under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the
unit off and let it cool down before reusing it.
The speaker connections are click-fit connectors. Use them as
shown below.
1Connect the colored (or marked) wire to the red terminal
and the black (or unmarked) wire to the black terminal.
2Connect:
– Left speaker to L (red and black)
– Right speaker to R (red and black)
AM antenna
The supplied loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1Fit the plug of the loop antenna to AM AERIAL as shown
below.
2Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV, VCR or
other radiation sources.
3Turn the antenna for optimum reception.
FM antenna
The supplied wire antenna can only be used to receive nearby
stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable
antenna system or an outdoor antenna.
1Open the FM AERIAL 300 Ωclick-fits by pushing the lever
down as shown below.
2Insert each wire of the antenna into one hole.
3Close the click-fits using the lever.

ABOUT RECORDING
16
The CD recorder deck offers you 3 main functions:
– Recording from the internal CD changer and tuner or
from a selected external source
– Finalizing your CDR(W) discs and unfinalizing your
CDRW discs
– Erasing a CDRW disc
The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW
discs.
Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.
For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can
record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum
of recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Otherwise
Does not fit is displayed and you cannot enter the
record standby mode.
Copyright protection
The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) prevents the
making of a digital copy from a digital copy. The system allows
making a digital recording from the original, however in some
countries this may require the authorization of copyright holders.
When you try to record copy protected material from an external
source, Copy Protect will be displayed. No further digital
recording is possible then.
When you try to record copy protected material from the
internal CD changer, no digital recording is possible, however
the CD recorder will automatically switch to analog recording.
Recording CD text
If the original CD has CD Text, this text will be recorded
automatically, provided that the CD text is not copy protected.
In that case, recording of CD text will not be possible and
Text Protect will be displayed.
The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct
Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of
the source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording.
DLR will always become active when you make normal
recordings in listen mode.
Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded
disc have a similar volume level. At all times the already
recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference
for the volume level of the following recordings. ALC is active
when ALC is shown.
Auto level control becomes active when:
– COMPILE CD is being used,
– a disc, a track or a track edit is being high speed recorded
and the CDR(W) has recordings on it,
– a program (consisting from more than one disc) from the
CD changer is being high speed recorded, or
– CD™CD is being used and the CDR(W) has recordings on it.
Auto level control will not become active when:
– CD™CD is being used and the CDR(W) has no recordings
on it,
– making recordings from the FM tuner,
– making recordings from an external source, or
– making normal recordings in listen mode.
You can adjust the reference record level. This is also possible
when ALC is active. This feature can be used for fading your
recordings in or out.
1Keep REC LEVEL on the unit pressed to enable the rotary
control to adjust the record level.
2Turn the rotary control to the left to adjust the desired
record level.
yThe actual record level (in dB) will be displayed.
•The record level is reset after the unit has been switched to
standby.

© WARNING
All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during
repair can reduce life drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the
same potential as the mass of the set via a wristband with
resistance. Keep components and tools at this potential.
f ATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d´autres semi-conducteurs sont
sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévite
pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu´aucune
précaution nést prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s´assurer de bien être relié au même
potentiel que la masse de l´appareil et enfileer le bracelet
serti d´une résistance de sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l´on
utilise soient également à ce potentiel.
d WARNUNG
Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich
gegenüber elektrostatischen Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kann die
Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Sorgen Sie dafür, daß Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Puls-
armband mit Widerstand mit dem Massepotential des
Gerätes verbunden sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls auf diesem
Potential.
ñ WAARSCHUWING
Alle IC´s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor
electrostatische ontladingen (ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur
drastisch doen vermindern. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie
via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde
potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.
i AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche
statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di
non osservazione della più grande cauzione alla loro
manipolazione. Durante le riparationi occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa
delápparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si
lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.
