Unpacking
The following accessories are supplied with this Compact Disc
player:
• a power supply lead;
• a signal output cable for connection to the amplifier:
• a remote control handset;
• batteries for the remote control handset.
Make sure that you take all these accessories out of the box.
Remove all packaging materials from the player and the acces­
sories.
Peel the transparent protective foil off the display. This foil is only
held in place by static attraction and can easily be removed,
beginning at one corner.
Checking the Power Supply Setting (Fig. 1)
The type plate, at the rear of your Compact Disc player, tells you
the supply voltage for which the player is set.
If your mains supply voltage is different, or becomes different in
the future, get your dealer or our Service Organisation to change
the voltage setting for you.
Removing the Transit Ciamps (Fig. 2-3)
On the bottom of the player you will see two red transit clamps.
These lock the player mechanism and the disc tray to protect
them during transportation.
Turn both of these clamps anti-clockwise, withdraw them from
the player, and store them in the recesses provided.
If, at any time, you want to transport the Compact Disc player, you
must lock the mechanism and the disc tray again to avoid damage.
To do this, turn the player upside-down, insert the clamps in their
slots and rotate them clockwise until they reach a stop.
Siting the Piayer
This Compact Disc player can equally well be sited free-standing
as in an audio rack, or it can be stacked with other components.
Never stand the player in persistent direct sunlight or near any
heat source.
a. Free-standing - If sited free-standing, the player must always
stand horizontally on a flat, firm surface, not on a mat or anything
similar.
If siting the player in a cupboard or a wall unit, always allow a
minimum free space of 3 cm above the player so as not to
interfere with the cooling of the player.
b. in an audio-rack-In an audio-rack the player can be sited in any
desired position.
c. Stacked - In a stack of your own selected equipment, site the
player for preference at the bottom or on the top. Under no
circumstances stand the player directly upon a high-power
amplifier, because such an amplifier gives off a substantial
amount of heat.
Warning - Do not place audio or video cassettes on the player
because of the effects of the magnetic fields produced by the
player transformer.
Connections (Fig. 4)
At the back of the player you will find the following connection
sockets:
a OUT: for the signal output cable to the amplifier,
b RC5IN/OUT: for a separate receiver for the signals from the
remote control handset.
