This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international

safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you

are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, exten-

sion leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly

made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and

withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, opera-

tion or safety of your equipment.

be careful with glass panels or doors on the equipment.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

DON’T

continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it

working normally, or if it is damaged in any way-switch off, withdraw the mains

plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T

remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T

leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is spe-

cifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby

mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your

family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for

infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T

use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are

distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch televi-

sion whilst driving a vehicle.

DON’T

listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently

damage your hearing.

DON’T

obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment, for example with

curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the

life of the equipment.

DON’T

use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to en-

sure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs

with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T

allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

NEVER

let anyone especially children push anything into holes,

slots or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal

electrical shock;

NEVER

guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any

kind. It is better to be safe than sorry!

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this

declaration relates, is in conformity with the following standards:

EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN60555-2 and EN60555-3.

Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC

Directives.

IMPORTANT

The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug

incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the

plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362

fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable, never

use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required,

ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse

covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not

suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a

power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or

consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by

a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose

of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock

hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following

code:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying

the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the

letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be

connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or

RED.

On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by

the earth symbol

or coloured green or green and yellow.

Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable plug already

fitted, which may be removed if not suitable and an alternative fitted in accor-

dance with the preceding instructions.

PRECAUTIONS

• When the set is not going to be used for a long time, unplug the AC lead and remove

the batteries.

• Do not leave exhausted batteries in the compartment as they will leak and cause

corrosion and damage.

• Never open the covers, touch the inside of the unit or insert metal objects. Any of

these actions could cause an electric shock or a fault.

• If you hear thunder, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. If the set is being used

outdoors, collapse the antenna and stop using the set.

• Collapse the antenna when carrying the set. If the set is carried with the antenna

extended, it could break.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity, or place it

near heat sources, the sea, or in a sandy or dusty place.

• Do not clean the cabinet of the set with strong detergents or solvents as these could

damage the surface finish.

• We discourage the use of C-120 cassette tapes as they tend to break or jam the

device.

• The apparatus should not be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing.

• Discs which can be played on this player have the following mark on them:

• Do not move the set suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a

chilled CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, moisture condensation may

form on the pick-up lens, preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 to 2 hours

before resuming play.

• During playback, if the CD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise

may be produced, this is not a malfunction.

• Do not place any objects in the disc compartment. It may cause damage to the

mechanism.

• Whenever moving the set, first, be sure to remove the disc from it, If the player is

moved with the disc loaded, the disc may be damaged.

• Do not store discs in high temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may warp

and become unusable. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe

any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using.

• Handle the discs carefully so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surface

of the discs. To clean off, use a soft cloth. Do not use a hard cloth since it will scratch

the disc.

• If you switch on or off a fluorescent lamp which is placed near the set, you may hear

some interference noise; this is not a malfunction.

• Please do not use compact discs with cellophane or with labels attached or those

CD with peeled off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on a CD player,

they may get trapped inside the unit and cause malfunction.

levels.

Push the BASS BOOST button [5] to “ON” _ to obtain rich Bass sound as desired.

experience distortion if the BASS BOOST feature is “ON” _. If this occurs, reduce the

CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Before you jump to the conclusion that the unit is out of order!
