Timer functions; Daily Timer, REC (Recording) Timer, and Sleep Timer.  
You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.  
The CD Player can play back a CD-R and CD-RW.  
How This Manual Is Organized  
• Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section “Basic Operations”,  
and not repeated under each function.  
• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, “NO DISC”.  
• If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted.  
• System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.  
Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.  
We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.  
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 youre 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.

Standard Recording  
This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also  
has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which  
save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects.  
However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have  
made, or are combining selections from several sources on one  
tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source  
you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or  
the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with  
this procedure.

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 each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what  
happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:  
The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:  
If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC  
Timer is operating, the other timer just wont come on at all,  
so you will always get the entire program on a tape.  
If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is oper-  
ating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer  
is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.  
You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.  
Using the Remote Control  
During playback a source, press the SLEEP  
1
button.  
The SLEEPindicator starts blinking on the display.  
If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the  
DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Tim-  
er is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the  
SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use  
the settings from the DAILY Timer.  
Set the length of time you want the source to  
play before shutting off.  
Each time you press the SLEEP button, the time length chang-  
es as follows:

Care And Maintenance  
Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long  
time.  
Moisture Condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside  
the System in the following 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 mal-  
function. 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.  
Compact Discs  
Only CDs bearing these marks can be  
used with this System. However, contin-  
ued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-  
shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the  
System.  
Recordable  
ReWritable  
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.  
Do not touch the tape surface.  
Remove the CD from its case by holding  
it at the edges while pressing the cases  
center hole lightly.  
Do not touch the shiny surface of the  
CD, or bend the CD.  
Do not store the tape:  
- In dusty places  
- In direct sunlight or heat  
- In moist areas  
- On a TV or speaker  
- Near a magnet  
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.  
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  
Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton  
swab moistened with alcohol.  
CAUTION:  
Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-  
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,  
etc.) to clean a CD.  
Pinch-roller  
Capstan  
General Notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
CDs and the mechanism clean.  
Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on  
shelves.  
Keep the Systems Top Cover closed when not in use.
