replace the original battery with a new 3-volt lithium battery.
The battery number is CR2025 or equivalent.
To replace the battery, slide the battery holder out of the remote control as shown
in the following illustration.

Remove the original battery from the holder and install a new CR2025 battery with
the “+” side facing up as shown in the illustration. Then slide the battery holder
back into the remote control.
Dispose of the original battery properly. It should not be thrown into a
fire as the battery may explode if incinerated. It should not be left around
where small children or pets might play with, or swallow it. If the battery
is accidentally swallowed, contact a physician immediately.

Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the
system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
Note: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not
fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an
outdated non-polarized outlet. You should
have your outdated outlet changed by a
qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file
the wide blade on the plug, or use an
adapter to make the plug fit into your
outlet. This defeats the safety feature and
could expose you to electric shock.

Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Playing Compact Discs
IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD-R and CD-RW
discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by the type
of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from the original discs and
‘burning’the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may also be affected by
the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording. 100%
compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems
with your player.

Normal Playback

Resetting The System Computer
This system is equipped with a special circuit designed to protect the internal
computer from permanent damage due to unexpected power surges.
If you find that the system does not respond to any commands from the front panel
controls or the remote handset, the system probably experienced a sudden power
surge that activated the protection circuit.
To reset the system after a power surge use the point of a pencil, a toothpick, a
straightened paper-clip or similar object to press the RESET button which is located
in a small opening on left side of back panel. The system will return to the Standby
(Off) mode.

RESET

Note: Resetting the system computer also clears all of the system memory
and returns the system to its original factory default settings. All of the preset
tuner memories, the clock and the timer settings will be erased after you press
the RESET button. It will be necessary to re-enter the stations in the tuner
preset memories, reset the clock and the timer settings.

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The pedestal bases must be removed from the main unit and the
speakers before wall mounting. Please refer to pages 5 and 6 in this manual
for instructions on removing the pedestals.
If you decide to wall mount your ES1065 audio system please read
and carefully follow these instructions:
NOTE: Wall mounting hardware is not included. You should purchase the
appropriate type of anchors for the wall where the unit will be mounted. (Solid-wall,
Hollow-wall, etc.) Wall anchors are available at hardware stores and home
improvement centers. Tools required: Electric drill, Hammer, Screwdriver.

General Precautions and Recommendations
• When choosing a location for wall mounting remember that the main unit must
be connected to an AC outlet. The AC power cord of the main unit should be
able to hang straight down from the main unit to the AC outlet. See Figure 1.

AC Power Cord

Correct
Figure 1.

AC Power Cord

Incorrect

Connect the main unit to the AC outlet and position it against the wall in your
desired location. Make sure that the plug remains firmly and full inserted into the
outlet. There should be just enough slack in the power cord so that the plug can be
easily removed from, and reconnected to the AC outlet.

36
ES1065_021705.p65

36

17/2/2005, 15:41

• Have someone hold the main unit against the wall in the desired location and
make a pencil mark on the wall to indicate center point of the top edge of the
cabinet.

Pencil Mark At Center

• If there is no AC outlet directly below the desired mounting location you may
use a UL approved extension cord. In this case you should allow the AC plug
of the main unit to reach all the way to the floor and connect the extension cord
on the floor, not above the floor. See Figure 2.

AC Power Cord

Correct
Figure 2.

AC Power Cord

Incorrect

• Although all major functions of this system, including opening/closing the front
cover, can be operated by the remote control, you must still load and unload
your CD's manually. Therefore the main unit should be mounted at a height
that is convenient and comfortable for changing discs.

Template Instructions
1.) Select the desired location for wall mounting after carefully reviewing the
"General Precautions and Recommendations" of the wall mounting
instructions.
2.) Tape the template to the wall, or other surface, in the desired location. Align
the top edge of the template with the pencil mark you made on the wall.
3.) Make sure that the template is level.
4.) Use an awl, ice pick, a nail or similar pointed tool, and push through the template
to make a small starter hole in the wall surface as indicated by the
"Drill Hole Here" marks. Then remove the template from the wall.
5.) Before You Drill: Make sure that there are no water pipes, gas pipes,
electrical wires on other obstructions or hazards behind the wall in your
chosen mounting location. If you are not sure about this. and don't know
how to check, perhaps you should consider having the system mounted
by someone with the necessary experience.
6.) Make sure that you are using the correct type of anchors for your wall. If the
wall material is Sheetrock® (sometimes called wall-board, gypsum-board, or
plaster-board) you can use plastic ‘hollow-wall anchors’. If your wall is solid
plaster, concrete, brick, or similar solid material, use the appropriate type of
‘solid-wall anchors’. If your wall is solid wood, you may be able to use roundhead wood screws without anchors.
IMPORTANT: If you have no experience installing wall anchors you should have
this system mounted by someone who does have the proper experience.
Whichever type anchors you use, make sure that the diameter of the screw
heads is at least 1/4”.
Follow the instructions supplied with the wall anchors to determine the proper size
drill bit to use in your electric drill. After installing the proper size bit, drill holes in
the wall surface at the 4 locations where you made the starter holes in Step 4.

38

7.) Insert the tip of the anchor into each hole and use a hammer to tap the anchors
all the way in until they are flush with the wall surface.

Anchor
Wall Surface

8.) Insert the screw into the anchor and tighten the screw until it touches the collar
on the anchor. This causes the anchor to spread inside the wall and locks the
anchor in place.

9.) Loosen the screw until there is a gap about 1/8" between the screw head and
the wall.

1/8" Gap

10.) Position the main unit over the two screw heads so that the heads of the
screws fit into bottom of each "Keyhole" on the back cabinet. When the two
screw heads are inside the keyholes, slide the main unit slightly downward
until each screw head is in the top of the keyhole.

Insert Screw Head Into Keyhole.
Screw Head

Keyhole

Slide Unit Downward To Lock Unit In Position.

If the main unit is still loose, you probably left too large a gap between the screw
head and the wall. Slide the unit slightly upward and take it off the mounting screws.
Tighten one or both screws slightly and remount the unit. It should fit snugly against
the wall and not move when you are loading or unloading CD's.
Follow a similar procedure to mount each speaker.

NOTES:
• It will be necessary to remove the main unit from the wall to connect the
speaker wires. If there is any excess speaker wire hanging between the
main unit and the speakers, remove the speaker from the wall and use a
twist-tie to secure the excess wire on the back of the speaker cabinet, then
remount the speakers.
• You can also purchase plastic cord covers at most home improvement
centers. These covers can easily be cut to any desired length and attached
to the wall to conceal the speaker wires and AC power cord if necessary.
The covers can also be painted or wall papered to match the surrounding
wall surface.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Compact Disc Care
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.

• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.

Care Of The Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax,
polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.

Caution
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
