SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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
disc player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour
with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
• Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you unplug
the AC power cord and plug it in again
after a few seconds.

• Insert the batteries (Type R06 or AA)
into the remote control as shown in the
battery compartment.
– For optimal sound performance, it is
recommended to use the supplied
speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker
to any one pair of +/- speaker
terminal.
– Availability of wireless transmitter and
its peripherals are subjected to the
approval of local authorities. Please
check with respective local safety or
approving authority.
Connection

inconvenience of running long speaker
wires across rooms. You can place as many
remote speakers as you like provided they
operate at the same radio frequency.
Connect the wireless radio frequency
transmitter to the LINE OUT terminals.
Place the active speakers at your preferred
location. Be sure to follow the instructions
supplied with the active speakers.
