6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
6A Listening with headphones
With headphones connected to the PHONES socket©, you can
listen to discs without having to use an amplifier.
The headphones must have a 6.3 mm jack plug and an impedance
between 8 and 1000 ohms.
You adjust the sound level with the VOLUME control (g).
6B Using the remote control handset
When the player is switched on and the disc is in place, virtually
all functions can also be operated using the remote control
handset. In this case the REMOTE CONTROL-switch @ has to be
set to ’INTERNAL’.
The remote control handset works up to a distance of about
8 metres from the player. When the player receives a remote
control signal, the IR indicator © lights.
If, because of the siting of the player, it is difficult for the beam
from the remote control handset to reach the player directly, or
If the distance between the player and the place where you want
to use the handset is more than about 8 m, you can connect a
separate receiver to the REMOTE CONTROL IN-socket ©. This
receiver is available as an accessory under type number EM 2200.
While using the receiver you have to set the REMOTE
CONTROL-switch © to ’EXTERNAL’.
Although the signals of the remote control handset can also be
received via reflection, you are recommended to aim the remote
control handset directly at the player or the receiver, as far as
possible, because the power ofthesignalbeamdecreasesasthe
batteries become drained.
6C Replacing batteries in the remote control handset
The remote control handset runs on three R03, UM4 or AAA
1.5 Volt batteries. The life of a set of batteries is normally about
one year.
Remove the batteries as soon as they are flat or if you are not
going to use the remote control handset for any length of time,
in order to prevent damage by possible battery leakage.
6D Maintenance
Discs
Although Compact Discs are covered with a protective layer, it is
still advisable to treat them carefully.
As long as you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them
back in their holders immediately after use, cleaning will not
normally be necessary.
However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe
them off with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line
from centre to edge.
Never use detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning agents
used for conventional records!
The Player
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings, and
must not be oiled or greased.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the player. Do not
use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc-tray should be kept free of dust.
6E IMPORTANT - Fitting a mains plug (U.K. only)
The wires in the mains lead qre coloured:
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings
Identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured Black.
Note: This apparatus must be protected by a 3 amp fuse if a
13 amp plug is used, or, if any other type of plug is used, by a
5 amp fuse either in the plug or adaptor, or at the distribution
board. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
