Can I record from CD to cassette?

Yes, select the CD source, insert a blank Normal (I) cassette, then press RECORD. CD playback starts automatically and the recording is synchronized.

How to improve FM reception?

Extend and orient the telescopic antenna at the back. Reduce its length if the signal is too strong (near a transmitter).

What to do if sound is low or absent?

Check the VOLUME setting, disconnect headphones if connected, and ensure the power cord is properly plugged in or the batteries are sufficiently charged.

In stop mode, use SEARCH to select the track number, then press PROGRAM. Repeat for up to 20 tracks, then press PLAY•PAUSE to start.

What type of batteries to use and how to replace them?

USER MANUAL AZ1140 PHILIPS

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
  Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
• 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.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured 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:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or 12 ) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

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. Copyright in the U.K.: Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer's Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easy to separate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), expandable polystyrene (buffer), polyethylene (bags, protective foam).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the plug from the set and wall socket before inserting batteries.

BATTERIES (OPTIONAL)

1. Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type R-14, UM-2 or C-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the compartment.

2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.

3. If BATT LOW lights up, battery power is running low.

4. The BATT LOW indicator eventually goes out if the batteries are too weak.

Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst.

Therefore:

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type for the set.
• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.
• Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 2.

2. If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, adjust the selector so that it matches with the local mains supply.
3. Connect the mains lead to the wall socket and the set is now ready for use.
4. To disconnect the set from the mains supply completely, remove the plug from the wall socket.
