GENERAL INFORMATION  
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 CD unit  
inside the system. Should this occur, the  
CD 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.  
General Information

Recording is permissible if  
copyright or other rights of third  
parties are not infringed.  
This product complies with the  
radio interference requirements of  
the European Community.  
• Before operating the system, check that  
the operating voltage indicated on the

• Place the system in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build-up in your system. Allow at  
least 10 cm clearance from the rear and  
the top of the unit and 5 cm from the  
each side.  
• The system incorporates a built-in  
safety feature that prevents  
overheating.  
• Do not expose the system to excessive  
moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.  
• Under no circumstances should you  
repair the system yourself, as this will  
invalidate the warranty!

directly above or beneath the television.  
This state of the art Dolby Pro Logic mini  
system enables you to experience and  
enjoy a Home Cinema sound ambience. The  
Pro Logic system allows more accurate  
definition of the individual sound sources.  
It produces greater sound separation  
between channels and provides pinpoint  
sound localization. Pro Logic provides four  
sound outputs: Left, Center, Right and  
Surround (Rear). Front sounds are produced  
from the pair of Left and Right speakers  
and a Center speaker. The surround sound  
is reproduced by two speakers placed at  
the rear of the listening area. Although the  
surround sound is monaural (single-source),  
a pair of speakers is necessary to produce  
the correct diffused sound.
