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 3 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 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 3 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.

Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Safety Information
●Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
●Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler
is used as the disconnet device, the disconnet
device shall remain readily operable.
●Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be easily reached.
●The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
●Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
●The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
●Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
●No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
●No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
●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 disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
●The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
●When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

General Information
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
●Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered
for those that may have already experienced
some hearing loss.
●Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing
adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
●Set your volume control at a low setting.
●Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
●Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
"safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
●Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
●Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
●Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
●Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
●You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
●Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
Disposal of your old product
Your product is
designed and
manufactured
with high quality
materials and
components, which
can be recycled and reused.
When this crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol is attached to a product it means
the product is covered by the European
Directive 2002/96/EC
Please inform yourself about the local
separate collection system for electrical
and electronic products.
Please act according to your local rules
and do not dispose of your old products
with your normal household waste.The
correct disposal of your old product will
help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and
human health.

Installation
FM antenna
The wire antenna supplied can only be used to
receive nearby stations. For better reception we
recommend using a cable antenna system or an
outdoor antenna.
1Extend the wire antenna and fit it to FM
ANTENNA as shown below
Note: If you are using a cable antenna system or
an outdoor antenna, fit the antenna plug, instead of
the wire antenna, to FM ANTENNA .
2Move the antenna in different positions for
optimal reception (as far away as possible from
the TV,VCR or other radiation sources)
3Fix the antenna’s end to the wall.
Helpful hints:
–To receive optimal radio reception, put the main
unit and the antennas as far away as possible from
the power adaptor.
●Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,
VCR or other radiation source.
Connecting an additional
appliance
It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g.
TV,VCR or CD recorder with the set. On
MCM238, you can playback music from an
external source.
1Insert one plug of the audio cable (not supplied)
to the socket AUX IN at the rear panel of the
main set.
2Connect the other end of the audio cable to the
AUDIO OUT terminal of the additional
appliance.
3Select AUX mode on the set.
Helpful hints:
–Always refer to the owner’s manual of other
equipment for complete connection.

2Connect the supplied AC/DC power adaptor to
the DC jack (located on the rear panel of the
main set) and to the wall socket.This switches on
the power supply.
To avoid damage to the set, use only the
adaptor supplied.
When MCM238 is switched to standby, it is still
consuming some power. To disconnect the
system from the power supply completely,
remove the power plug from the wall
socket.
The type plate is located on the rear of the
set.
For users in the U.K.: please follow the
instructions on page 2.
