IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Please read all of the safety and operating  
instructions before operating this appliance. Adhere  
to all warnings on the appliance and in the instruction  
manual. Follow all the safety and operating  
instructions. These safety and operating instructions  
should be retained for future reference.  
5. Water and moisture – The appliance should not  
be used near water - for example, near a bathtub,  
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.  
6. Temperature The appliance may not function  
properly if used at extremely low, or freezing  
temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature  
is above +5°C (41°F).  
1. Power sources – The appliance should be  
connected to a power supply only of the type  
described in the instruction manual or as marked  
on the appliance. If you are not sure of the type  
of power supply to your home, consult your  
appliance dealer or local power company. For  
appliances intended to operate from battery  
power, or other sources, refer to the instruction  
manual.  
7. Heat The appliance should be situated away  
from heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves, or other appliances (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.  
8. Electric shock – Care should be taken so that  
objects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into  
the enclosure through openings. If a metal  
objects, such as a hair pin or a needle, comes  
into contact with the inside of this appliance, a  
dangerous electric shock may result. For families  
with children, never permit children to put  
anything, especially metal, inside this appliance.  
2. Power-cord protection – Power-supply cords  
should be routed so that they are not likely to be  
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, pay particular attention to cords at  
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the appliance.  
3. CAUTION– Polarization – This appliance  
may be equipped with a polarized alternating-  
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider  
than the other). This plug will fit into the power  
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If  
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the  
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should  
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace  
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug.  
9. Enclosure removal – Never remove the  
enclosure. If the internal parts are touched  
accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur.  
10. Cleaning Unplug this appliance from the wall  
outlet before cleaning. Do not use volatile  
solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline,  
or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean  
dry cloth.  
4. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet  
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable  
operation of the appliance and to protect it from  
overheating, and these openings must not be  
blocked or covered. The appliance should be  
situated so that its location or position does not  
interfere with its proper ventilation.  
11. Lightning – For added protection for this  
appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is  
left unattended and unused for long periods of  
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This  
will prevent damage to the appliance due to  
lightning and power-line surges.  
To maintain good ventilation, do not put records  
or a table-cloth on the appliance. Place the  
appliance at least 10 cm away from the walls.  
Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or  
similar surface that may block the ventilation  
openings. This appliance should not be placed in  
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack  
unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.  
12. Abnormal smell – If an abnormal smell or  
smoke is detected, immediately turn the power  
OFF and unplug the appliance from the wall  
outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest service  
center.

Caution : Read this page carefully to ensure safe  
operation.  
13. Damage requiring service – The appliance  
should be serviced by qualified service personnel  
when:  
18. Attachment – Do not use attachments not  
recommended by the appliance manufacturer  
as they may cause hazards.  
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been  
damaged.  
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled  
into the appliance.  
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or  
water.  
D. The appliance does not appear to operate  
normally by following the instruction manual.  
Adjust only those controls that are covered by  
the instruction manual as an improper  
adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work  
by a qualified technician to restore the appliance  
to its normal operation.  
19. Replacement parts – When replacement parts  
are required, be sure the service technician has  
used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer or have the same characteristics  
as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electric shock, or other  
hazards.  
20. Safety check – Upon completion of any service  
or repairs to this appliance, ask the service  
technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the appliance is in proper  
operating condition.  
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the  
enclosure damaged.  
F. The appliance exhibits a marked change in  
performance.  
14. Servicing  
The user should not attempt to  
service the appliance beyond that described in  
the instruction manual. All other servicing should  
be referred to qualified service personnel.  
15. Power lines – An outside antenna system  
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead  
power lines or other electric light or power  
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines  
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna  
system, extreme care should be taken to keep  
from touching such power lines or circuits as  
contact with them might be fatal.  
16. AC outlets – Do not connect other audio  
equipment with a power consumption larger  
than that specified to the AC outlet on the rear  
panel. Never connect other electrical appliances,  
such as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or  
electric shock.  
17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,  
extension cords, or integral convenience  
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.

sary tracks.  
-
COMBINE (page 39) for erasing an  
unnecessary track number by combin-  
ing two tracks.
