UNPACKING
PREPARATION
The carton contains:
The MC 307 AM/FM/CD receiver:
One pair of loudspeakers:
Remote handset and batteries
Unpack and inspect the components carefully. If
any item is damaged or missing, contact the Tesco
store from where you purchased this product, or if
that is not possible, your nearest Tesco store. Please
have your receipt ready when you call.
Retain the packaging. If you dispose of it, do so in
accordance with recycling regulations in your area.

CD COMPARTMENT
Remove the two strips of tape over the CD door.
Press the DOOR OPEN button to open the CD lid.
Carefully remove the protective card from the CD
mechanism.
Close the CD door and discard the card and the
pieces of tape.
Check that the mains voltage on the rating plate
which is located at the rear of the unit matches the
mains voltage in your area.
Unwrap the power cord
Uncoil the FM antenna and extend it fully.
Make sure there is a suitable power point within
easy reach.
The means of disconnection of the appliance is the
mains plug. This must not be obstructed and must
be freely operable at all times.
Site the system on a stable surface (ideally a stout
shelf) where it is unlikely to fall or get knocked over.
This is specially important in the case of the
speakers which should be placed on either side of
the main unit with at least150mm between each
speaker and the main unit.
The radio performance of the system is dependent
on the aerial.
The FM aerial should be moved around to get the
optimum results.
The AM aerial is internal to the system, so if you
need good medium wave reception, try the system
in different locations before making a final choice.
Make sure that you position the unit where the
remote handset can easily be operated in direct line
of sight and no more than 3 metres away.
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause
skipping or noise.
Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep discs
clean, do not touch the surface.
Discs should be stored in their cases after use to
avoid scratches.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity,
high temperature, dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to
extreme temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick or write anything on the disc. Sharp
writing instruments or the inks used in some felt tip
pens may damage its surface.
