INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO SITE AND CONNECT YOUR THUNDER CD PLAYER

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND SAFE OPERATION

Please unpack your CD player carefully and position it on a stable, level surface close to a mains socket. Before attempting to connect it into your system please read this manual carefully.

The Thunder will perform well placed on a coffee table or bookshelf but if you wish to achieve the best performance we suggest you place it on a specialist hi-fi support. There are many suitable designs available, which your dealer will be happy to advise you about.

Position the CD player so that it will not be subjected to high ambient temperatures: avoid sites where it will be in direct sunlight or close to a central heating radiator. For your own safety – and your CD player’s

well-being – do not allow it to come into contact with water. Keep it away from potted plants to avoid those all-too-common watering accidents! To clean the amplifier’s case disconnect it from the wall socket and wipe it with a barely damp, lint-free cloth or chamois leather. If you suspect that water has entered the casework, return the amplifier to your dealer so that he can examine it.

Once you have installed your CD player please retain all packaging including the polythene bag which is designed to protect the finish of the unit whilst in transit. If you decide to upgrade or add a Whirlwind power supply, the packaging will be required to protect the Thunder and ensure it arrives undamaged at the factory or your distributor.

SAFETY

The Talk range of CD players contains Class 1 laser optics. You must never remove the lid from a player and look into the laser while it is operating: this could damage your eyes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The Thunder comes with a ready assembled mains lead and we suggest that you use this to connect it to the mains supply. We strongly recommend that you connect the lead directly to a wall socket and do not use extension blocks, which degrade sound quality. For the same reason we also advise against “line filters” and “mains conditioners”. If your mains supply is noisy or you have household appliances that generate clicks and pops that can be heard through your hi-fi system, have an electrician correct the problem at its source. We do however recommend the use of ‘Merlin Cables’ power chords which do not interfere with the current flow and offer a significant performance improvement

Should you need to replace the fuse in the mains plug, please fit only the correct replacement types. This is a standard 5A.

If, for any reason, you wish to replace the plug or cable, please note that the lead must be connected as follows.
