result. Always use it in aplace where there is low humidity and little
dust.
Do not use where there are e~emes of temperature (below 5CC or
exceeding 35”C) or where dirad sunlight may strike it.
Because of the CD player’s extremely low noise and wide dynamic
range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier
unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large
output from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.
Sudden changes in the ambient~mperature may cause condensation
to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out the
disc, leave the unit for about 1hour, and then proceed to operate.

In fringe areas or where reception is distorfed or noisy, an external aerial
(fIOt supplied) should be connected instead of the simple indoor aerial.
Consult your dealer.
FM aerial (For AU)
The FM indoor aerial is sufficient to receive most local FM broadcasts and
shoutd be connected to the FM 75 ohm terminal. Extend the aerial wire as
straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from the system,
secure it in aposition which yields minimal distortion and noise.
In fringe areas or where reception is distorted or noisy, an FM external
aerial (not supplied) should be connected instead of the indoor aerial. The
terminals will accept 75-ohm coaxial cable. Consult your dealer.

S= (01, the Sound Retrieval System, replaces stereo as the
