PREPARATION FOR USE
PLACEMENT
Placement on a table or shelf:
Place the unit on a sturdy table or shelf where it cannot get
knocked over and where there is a clear line of sight to the
remote handset.
Make sure that there is a clearance of 10cm (4 inches) around
the unit for ventilation. There should also be a clearance of
32cm above the surface the unit stands on to allow the CD
loading door to open fully.
Optional wall-mounting:
The MC-329I system has back panel xings for optional wall-
mounting of the speakers and/or the main system.
If you plan to wall-mount the speakers or system, you will
need to x one screw into the wall to hang each speaker and
a further two if wall-mounting the main system.
Before xing the screws, plan the location carefully, ensuring
that mains power is accessible, that there is a clearance of
125mm above the unit to allow the CD door to open fully
and ensuring that the speaker cables will be long enough to
connect to the jacks on the right-hand side of the unit.
Once you have planned the location, you will need to x two
screws into the wall to support the main unit, spaced by
182mm. Check that the screws will be level and that the unit
will be xed at the height you require.
A further two screws will then be necessary, one to wall-
mount each speaker.
NOTE:- Most walls will require the use of wall-plugs
when mounting the xing screws. If you are in any doubt
concerning the type of xing required or the security of wall-
mountings, consult a building professional.
Important notes for wall-mounting:
Tesco accepts no liability for damages caused by incorrect•
assembly, installation or improper use.
Ensure that the wall is sucient strength to hold the•
weight of the system.
If there is any doubt regarding the condition or the load•
bearing of the wall, please consult a specialist from the
building trade.
The wall xings used must be suitable for the type of wall•
(materials, thickness, condition), so that the maximum
load bearing of the wall can be guaranteed.
Ensure that no electrical cables, water pipes or gas pipes•
are located within the wall.
Before mounting, check the location of the nearest•
mains socket. Use a spirit level when attaching the wall
bracket.
Wear safety g• oggles when drilling.
Keep small parts out of reach from children.•
LOUDSPEAKERS
Placing the speakers:
Unwrap the speaker wires from the ties securing them.•
Place a speaker on either side of the main unit, preferably•
at the same height, and with at least 150mm between
each speaker and the main unit.
Connecting the speakers:
The speakers are equipped with RCA phono plugs for easy
connection. Referring to the diagram below -
Locate the two speaker connectors on the right side of1.
