POSITIONING YOUR SYSTEM _
The preferred order to stack the units of your system is shown
in the diagram below.
WARNING
Do not connect the set to the mains until all other
connections have been made and the mains voltage
(indicated on the type plate on the back cover) has
been checked.
When positioning the unit, bear in mind that every receiver
produces heat which must be able to dissipate freely. For
this reason, do not cover any vents and make sure that
there is sufficient ventilation around the unit.
AC POWER SUPPLY _
• Check that the mains voltage as shown on the type plate
corresponds to your local mains supply. If it does not, consult
your dealer or a Philips Authorized Sen/ice Centre.
• Insert the plug of the mains lead into the wall socket.
- The power supply is now connected.
• To disconnect the set from the mains completely, remove
the mains plug from the wall socket.
The type plate is located on the backof the set.
This product complies with the radio interference
requirements of the European Community.
Important notes for users in the U.K.:
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 AMP, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
It the mams plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5 A.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1 Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured blue or black.
2 Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured brown or red.
3 Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E or 4- or coloured green or green-and-yeliow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two
wires
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
