Connecting to an External Source, Service

Connecting to an External Source

The auxiliary input can be used to take advantage of the sound quality

of your mini-compact system when listening to other sources.

Examples: A television

A video disc player

A DAT or DCC cassette player

A Hi-Fi stereo video cassette recorder

To connect the external source, the source must have an audio output. In addition, you need an RCA connection cable.

1	Set the system to standby mode and disconnect it and the external
	source from the main.
2	Connect the audio cable to the rear of the mini-compact system.

Safety Precautions

Cleaning Your Mini-Compact System

system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing

The compact disc player

The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Precautions When Using Audio Cassettes

Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette, where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain on the tape mechanism.

Example: You can watch a film and take advantage of stereo sound provided that the original sound track is in stereo, (as if you were in a cinema).

Do not place potted plants or vases on top of the unit. Moisture entering the unit could lead to dangerous electric shock and can cause equipment damage. In such events immediately disconnect the main plug from the socket.

During thunderstorms, disconnect the main plug from the socket. Main voltage peaks due to light- ning could damage the unit.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.
