Features
Elegant design
The XLP77 looks as good it sounds. With a front panel almost completely free
from the usual array of buttons and flashing lights, the XLP77 has been
designed to blend in elegantly with its surroundings rather than draw attention
to itself. And since the CD receiver and optional tape deck and MD recorder are
separate components, you can choose to place them side-by-side for a sleek,
horizontal look, or on top of each other for a more conventional vertical
arrangement. The compact, slim-line speakers also can be used vertically or
horizontally to complement the layout of the system.
Display with detachable remote control
All the components in the XLP77 share a single large fluorescent display and
control panel. This control panel can easily be detached from the display,
turning it into the system's infrared remote controller.
Direct play function
From standby mode to playing a CD or listening to a tape or the radio in a
single button press: the direct play function intelligently switches on the system,
changes to the desired function and starts playback.
Energy Saving Design
The XLP77 has been designed to minimize power consumption when in
standby mode (plugged in to the power supply, but with the unit switched off).
Standby power consumption is just 1W, even when both the optional tape deck
and MD recorder are connected.

Using this manual
This manual is for the XCL77 Stereo CD Receiver, CTL77 Stereo Cassette Deck and

setting up, and the second, using the system. Set up, which starts here, shows you how
to install and connect up the system.
In the second section of the manual, starting on page 13, you'll learn how to use every
feature of the CD receiver/cassette deck system. The final part of the manual provides a
troubleshooting section and technical specifications.
Putting the battery in the remote
1 Turn over the remote control. Push a ball-point pen into the hole to release
the battery cover and slide it off.
2 Put in the supplied battery, taking care to match the plus and minus sides
with the markings inside the compartment.
3 Slide the cover back on, and your remote is ready for use.
CAUTION:
· Remove the battery if the remote is not going to be used for a month or more.
· Remove dead batteries promptly-- they can leak and damage the unit.
· If the remote is connected to the display, no battery is necessary for it to work.
The battery is not recharged by connecting the remote to the display, however.
Using the remote control

· Make sure that there are no obstacles in between the remote and the remote
sensor on the unit.

light is shining on the unit's remote sensor.
· Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid
using remotes for other equipment located nearby this unit.
· Replace the battery when you notice the operating range of the remote fall.
· On the rear of the remote there is a gold-coloured connector that links the
remote with the display unit. Avoid touching this when using the remote
separately.
