area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any space open at the back (such
as a dedicated equipment rack) is fine, however. Do not place the unit on an
unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place other
equipment on top of the unit.
Due to stray magnetic fields, turntables or CRT TVs should not be located
nearby due to possible interference.

used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to settle
down and the sonic properties will improve over this time.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a UK mains plug fitted
with a 5 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse. it is important that
a 5 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for
your socket. or becomes damaged. it should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of
safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires
should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

with the letter ' L .: or coloured RED.

other type of plug is used a 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor,
or on the distribution board .
