Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater
than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral
(N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over
the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Safety Information
• Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage indicated on the
typeplate (or the voltage indication
beside the voltage selector) of your
system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer. The type plate is
located at the rear of your system.
• When the system is switched on, do not
move it around.
• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a
cabinet).
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build-up in your system.
• Do not expose the system to excessive
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
• Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
• If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens of the CD unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
CD player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.

Connections general
The connections you make will depend
upon the possibilities your audio equipment
offers. Please refer to the user manuals for
your other audio equipment first.
Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give
the best performance in audio and
usability (e.g. auto-track). (The digital
optical connection is less sensitive to
external disturbances). If your equipment
does not offer digital connections, the high
quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD
recorder will ensure very good audio
performance when recordings are made
from the analog input.
Playback via the digital coaxial output of
the CD recorder gives the best audio
performance. If your equipment does not
offer digital connections, the high quality
Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD
recorder ensures a very good sound quality
via the analog output.
We advise you to always establish both
digital and analog connections. In this way
you can always make analog recordings
when digital recording is not possible.
