About the cooling fan  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the unit, thus assuring normal operation of  
the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to intake external cool air when the volume is increased up to more than a certain level.  
À propos du ventilateur de refroidissement  
Un ventilateur de refroidissement se trouve sur le panneau arrière de l’appareil afin d’éviter la création d’une température anormale à l’in-  
térieur de l’appareil et permettre ainsi un fonctionnement normal de l’appareil. Le ventilateur de refroidissement commence à tourner et à  
aspirer de l’air frais automatiquement quand le volume est augmenté au-dessus d’un certain niveau.

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.  
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:  
*For MP3/WMA discs  
• This unit manages files and folders on MP3/WMA discs as  
“tracks” and “albums.”  
• Audio CD  
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)  
• MP3/WMA disc (MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-R or CD-  
RW)*  
• Playback order of the MP3/WMA files (tracks) recorded on a  
disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application;  
therefore, playback order may be different from the one you  
have intended while recording the files and the folders.  
• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only  
“Title”, “Artist” and “Album”) on the display after starts play;  
however, there is a limitation on available characters and some  
file names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.  
Only CDs bearing these marks can  
be used with this System. However,  
continued use of irregular shape  
CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)  
can damage the System.

More about MP3/WMA discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• MP3/WMA discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer  
readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the re-  
cording configuration.)  
• When making an MP3/WMA disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 as the disc format.  
• This unit does not support multisession recording.  
• This unit can play MP3/WMA files only with the following  
file extensions— “.mp3” and “.wma”.  
• Non-MP3/WMA files are ignored. If non-MP3/WMA files  
are recorded together with MP3/WMA files, this unit will  
take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
• Some MP3/WMA discs may not be played back because  
of their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.  
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri-  
table) can be played back when they are already “finalized.”  
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions  
or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit  
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,  
or if the player’s lens is dirty.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-  
ance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the  
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of  
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recom-  
mended.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.  
Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or  
two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source, the pro-  
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But  
first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.  
• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape  
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording  
CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first  
to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.  
Things To Know Before You Start Recording  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record  
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the con-  
sent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video  
recording, broadcast or cable program and in any lit-  
erary, dramatic, musical, or artistic content embodied  
therein.  
CAUTION:  
• If a recording you make has excessive noise or  
static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV  
which was on during the recording. Either turn  
off the TV or increase the distance between the  
TV and the Unit.  
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape  
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected  
by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected  
by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can  
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting  
the recording level.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A  
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording.  
Adhesive tape  
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover  
the holes with adhesive tape first.  
Type I tape can be used for recording.

Timer Priority  
Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number  
of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can  
fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by it-  
self rather than play all night.  
Since REC Timer and DAILY Timer can be set independently, you  
may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the pri-  
orities for REC Timer and DAILY Timer:  
• Timer with the earlier time setting will have the priority.  
Timer will not operate when other Timer is operating.  
• If other Timer is set to an exact same time as the REC Timer,  
the REC Timer will have the priority.  
• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.

Care And Maintenance  
Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long  
time.  
Cassette Tapes  
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up  
the slack by inserting a pencil in one of  
the reels and rotating.  
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched,  
cut, or caught in the cassette.  
Compact Discs  
• Remove the CD from its case by holding  
it at the edges while pressing the case’s  
center hole lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the  
CD, or bend the CD.  
• Do not touch the tape surface.  
• Put the CD back in its case after use to  
prevent warping.  
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of  
the CD when placing it back in the case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, tem-  
perature extremes, and moisture.  
• Do not store the tape:  
- In dusty places  
- In direct sunlight or heat  
- In moist areas  
- On a TV or speaker  
- Near a magnet  
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a  
CD does become dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line from center to  
edge.  
Cassette Deck  
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck  
become dirty, the following will occur:  
- Loss of sound quality  
- Discontinuous sound  
- Fading  
- Incomplete erasure  
- Difficulty recording  
CAUTION:  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-  
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,  
etc.) to clean a CD.  
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton  
swab moistened with alcohol.  
General Notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
CDs and the mechanism clean.  
Pinch-roller  
Capstan  
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on  
shelves.  
• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.  
Moisture Condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the fol-  
lowing cases:  
• After turning on heating in the room.  
• In a damp room.  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave  
the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates,  
unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.  
Heads  
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or  
lose high frequencies.  
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head  
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).

* When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.  
For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.  
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:  
*For MP3/WMA discs  
• This unit manages files and folders on MP3/WMA discs as  
“tracks” and “albums.”  
• Audio CD  
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)  
• MP3/WMA disc (MP3/WMA files recorded on a CD-R or CD-  
RW)*  
• Playback order of the MP3/WMA files (tracks) recorded on a  
disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application;  
therefore, playback order may be different from the one you  
have intended while recording the files and the folders.  
• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only  
“Title”, “Artist” and “Album”) on the display after starts play;  
however, there is a limitation on available characters and some  
file names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.  
Only CDs bearing these marks can  
be used with this System. However,  
continued use of irregular shape  
CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)  
can damage the System.  
ReWritable  
Recordable  
More about MP3/WMA discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• MP3/WMA discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer  
readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the re-  
cording configuration.)  
• When making an MP3/WMA disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 as the disc format.  
• This unit does not support multisession recording.  
• This unit can play MP3/WMA files only with the following  
file extensions— “.mp3” and “.wma”.  
• Non-MP3/WMA files are ignored. If non-MP3/WMA files  
are recorded together with MP3/WMA files, this unit will  
take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
• Some MP3/WMA discs may not be played back because  
of their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.  
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri-  
table) can be played back when they are already “finalized.”  
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions  
or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit  
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,  
or if the player’s lens is dirty.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-  
ance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the  
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of  
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recom-  
mended.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.  
Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or  
two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source, the pro-  
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But  
first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.  
• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape  
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording  
CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first  
to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.  
Things To Know Before You Start Recording  
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted  
material without the consent of the copyright owner.  
CAUTION:  
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape  
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected  
by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected  
by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can  
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting  
the recording level.  
• If a recording you make has excessive noise or  
static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV  
which was on during the recording. Either turn  
off the TV or increase the distance between the  
TV and the Unit.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A  
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording.  
Adhesive tape  
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover  
the holes with adhesive tape first.  
Type I tape can be used for recording.

Setting the SLEEP Timer  
Timer Priority  
Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number  
of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can  
fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by it-  
self rather than play all night.  
Since REC Timer and DAILY Timer can be set independently, you  
may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the pri-  
orities for REC Timer and DAILY Timer:  
• Timer with the earlier time setting will have the priority.  
Timer will not operate when other Timer is operating.  
• If other Timer is set to an exact same time as the REC Timer,  
the REC Timer will have the priority.  
• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.

Care And Maintenance  
Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long  
time.  
Cassette Tapes  
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up  
the slack by inserting a pencil in one of  
the reels and rotating.  
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched,  
cut, or caught in the cassette.  
Compact Discs  
• Remove the CD from its case by holding  
it at the edges while pressing the case’s  
center hole lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the  
CD, or bend the CD.  
• Do not touch the tape surface.  
• Put the CD back in its case after use to  
prevent warping.  
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of  
the CD when placing it back in the case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, tem-  
perature extremes, and moisture.  
• Do not store the tape:  
- In dusty places  
- In direct sunlight or heat  
- In moist areas  
- On a TV or speaker  
- Near a magnet  
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a  
CD does become dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line from center to  
edge.  
Cassette Deck  
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck  
become dirty, the following will occur:  
- Loss of sound quality  
- Discontinuous sound  
- Fading  
- Incomplete erasure  
- Difficulty recording  
CAUTION:  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-  
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,  
etc.) to clean a CD.  
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton  
swab moistened with alcohol.  
General Notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
CDs and the mechanism clean.  
Pinch-roller  
Capstan  
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on  
shelves.  
• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.  
Moisture Condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the fol-  
lowing cases:  
• After turning on heating in the room.  
• In a damp room.  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave  
the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates,  
unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.  
Heads  
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or  
lose high frequencies.  
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head  
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
