COMPACT DISC PLAYER CD 350

Welcome to the new sound experience of Compact Disc Digital
Audio.

Compact Disc is the biggest advance ever made in audio
technology. By employing the most sophisticated digital and
optical technologies, Compact Disc not only produces the
ultimate in sound reproduction, it gives you the user, also access
to operating features which have never been seen before in audio
equipment designed for the home, such as fast access to any
track on the disc and very simple programming.

To make operation even easier, this Compact Disc player can be
remotely controlled with a separate unit.

In these instructions you will find everything you need to know
_ about installing, operating and programming your Compact Disc
player. Read through the text carefully and you will quickly
become familiar with all the facilities offered by this new way of
listening to discs.

INSTALLATION
Checking the Power Supply

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.

U.K. only: If your player is not fitted with a mains plug, refer to
'Fitting a Mains Plug, Page 7.

Taking Out the Transit Screws

On the bottom of the player you will see two screws, fitted in
collars and indicated by an arrow. These lock the player
mechanism and the disc tray to protect them during transpor-
tation.

Remove these screws and collars and keep them in a safe place.
If you want to transport the Compact Disc player, you should lock
the mechanism and disc tray again to avoid damage.

Sltlng the Player

This Compact Disc player can equally well be sited free-standing
as in an audio rack, or 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. .

lf siting the player in a cupboard or a wall unit, always allow a
minimum space of 3 cm above the player so as not to interfere
with the cooling of the player (Fig. 1).

b. In an audio-rack- In an audio-rack the player can be sited in any
position.

0. Stacked -.|n composing your own system, you should
preferably site the player 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. 2)

At the back of the player you will find from right to left the
connection sockets for the mains lead (a), the connection cable
(b) and the remote control signal receiver (c).

a. Connection of the Mains Lead - Fit the female plug of the mains
lead supplied into the connection socket.

b. Connection to the (Pre-)Amplifier- Insert a black plug of the
supplied connection cable in the black socket (left channel) and
a red plug into the red socket (right channel). Insert both other
plugs into the corresponding CD/TV or AUX sockets on your
(pre-)amplifier.

If these sockets are already in use, you can plug in to the TUNER
or TAPE IN sockets, but neverthe PHONO sockets! The PHONO
sockets are not suitable for the connection of a Compact Disc
player.

c. Connection of a Remote Control - Once the receiver of the
remote control EM 2000 (available as an accessory) is connect-
ed, all functions of the player can be remotely controlled, with the
exception of the on and off switching of the player and the
opening and closing of the disc tray,
