SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been disigned and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,  
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of  
equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug  
when making or changing connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch  
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case - this could  
result in a fatal electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind.  
it is better to be safe than sorry!

* 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:  
• Audio CD  
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
For CA-MXKB2 only  
*For MP3 discs  
• This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as “tracks”  
and “albums.”  
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)  
For CA-MXKB2 only  
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)*  
• Playback order of the MP3 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 ID3v1 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.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• 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.  
More about MP3 discs  
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer read-  
out time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording  
configuration.)  
• When making an MP3 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 files only with the following file ex-  
tensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”  
• Non-MP3 files are ignored. If non-MP3 files are recorded  
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to  
scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.  
• Non-MP3 folders are counted when reading disc, but ig-  
nored during playing back.  
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of  
their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.

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.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)  
Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck  
B and wind past the tape leader.  
Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.  
“CD REC” appears on the display and the “REC” indicator  
lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and  
the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape.  
When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, the CD  
Player and Cassette Deck stop.  
• If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to  
prevent erasure or recording, “PROTECT” will appear on  
the display.  
• After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro-  
grammed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

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.  
To Record Any Sound Source to Tape  
Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in  
Deck B.  
To stop at any time during the recording process, press  
the 7button. The CD Player will be paused and the Cassette Deck  
will be stopped. Press the 7 button again, the CD player will be  
stopped.  
Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck  
B and wind past the tape leader.

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  
• 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  
• Do not touch the tape surface.  
ReWritable  
• Do not store the tape:  
- In dusty places  
- In direct sunlight or heat  
- In moist areas  
- On a TV or speaker  
- Near a magnet  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
Pinch-roller  
Capstan  
CAUTION:  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-  
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,  
etc.) to clean a CD.  
Heads  
General Notes  
• 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).  
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 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.
