CONNECTING THE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM IN USE
Unpack your K1 carefully and keep the
original packing in a safe place. The box and
the packing materials have been specially
designed for this unit and form a secure con-
tainer for subsequent transport.
Read the safety notes included in these in-
structions and be sure to observe our recom-
mendations when setting up the system.
If the unit is allowed to get very cold (e.g.
during transport) then it is important to allow
it to warm up to room temperature before
switching on. This will ensure that any con-
densation inside the case has evaporated
completely.
Before you set up the unit on a delicate
painted or lacquered surface it is a good idea
to check on a concealed area of the surface
that it will not be damaged by the cabinet
feet.
Set up the unit on a firm, level surface, and
check that it is exactly horizontal. The unit
should be well supported and stable.
The location must be thoroughly ventilated
and dry, not subject to direct sunshine and
away from the immediate vicinity of heaters.
The unit must not be set up close to heat-
producing, heat-sensitive or inflammable
objects or equipment.
When setting up the equipment ensure that
the flow of cooling air is unimpeded; the
cooling slots must be left open and u-
nobstructed.
There must be at least 5 cm free space on
both sides of the system, and at least 15 cm
free space above and behind it, so that the
heat produced by the machine can disperse
freely in the ambient air. If the unit is set up
on a shelf or in a cupboard compartment, it
must not be enclosed by doors. Any heat
build-up may shorten the unit's effective life,
and could be a source of danger.
Please be sure to switch off all units before
you start wiring the components together.
The mains cable, the speaker should be kept
as far away as possible from the inter-
connect cables (Cinch leads) and the aerial
cable, otherwise there is a danger that quality
of reproduction will be impaired.
We strongly recommend that you use the
connecting leads supplied with the system
exclusively.
The drawings on the following pages show
how to connect all the components of your
system together.
Connect the mains plug to the wall socket
and switch the system on (press the
   
button on the machine's front panel).
The screen should now light up and the sys-
tem is ready for use. Set the volume control
to a very low level (
    - button).
Switch to the auditioning source TUNER
(press the
    button on the RC hand-
set).
If the radio aerial is connected and working
properly, you can now search for a station
using the station search procedure (hold the
RC
