Safety Precautions
19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Information on Disposal of Old Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (applicable for
EU countries that have adopted separate
waste collection systems)
– If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Products with the symbol (crossed-
out wheeled bin) cannot be
disposed as household waste.
Old electrical and electronic
equipment should be recycled at
a facility capable of handling these
items and their waste byproducts.
Contact your local authority for details in
locating a recycle facility nearest to you.
Proper recycling and waste disposal will
help conserve resources whilst preventing
detrimental effects on our health and the
environment.

Detaching and attaching the speakers
You can detach the speakers from the main unit and position them as you like.
Before detaching or attaching the speakers, or replacing the speaker cords, always turn the system off and unplug the
power cord from the AC wall outlet. If there is a disc in the main unit, remove it.
When only one of the speakers is detached, the unit is unstable and can tip over when subjected to vibration or impact.
Take care whenever detaching or attaching speakers.
When attaching the speakers, make sure they are attached securely. Improper installation creates the risk of the speaker
falling.

Precautions when writing data to discs
ꢀDiscs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.
ꢀWhen writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not
close the session or finalize the disc.
ꢀDepending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names may not be
displayed correctly.
ꢀPlayback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal

CD-DA
MP3
Refers to music CDs. Almost all discs normally referred to as
“CDs” are actually CD-DA discs.
An audio compression method developed by Germany's
Fraunhofer IIS, which achieves high rates of data compression
by discarding data not readily audible to humans. MP3 can
compress data down to rates of approximately 1/11 (128
kbps) while retaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.
25
USB hub
An adapter that provides simultaneous connection of
multiple USB devices.
26
USB mass storage
class
A standard for computer control of a USB device. It also makes
it possible for a computer to recognize a connected USB
device as an external storage device.

Sampling frequency
A value that indicates the number of times per second analog
signals are sampled for conversion to digital signals. The
sampling frequency for music CDs is 44.1 kHz. Normally, the
higher the sampling frequency, the better the sound quality.

Care and Storage
Care and storage of main unit
Care and storage of CDs
ꢁKeep the system out of the following
ꢁStoring a CD
locations
If you do not plan to use a CD for a long time,
remove it from the main unit and store it in its
case.
ꢀAreas exposed to direct sunlight.
ꢀAreas subjected to excessive humidity or dust.
ꢀAreas exposed to direct heat from heating
equipment.
ꢁCleaning a CD
ꢀ
When a disc becomes soiled with fingerprints or
other stains, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it gently
in a pattern radiating from the center of the disc.
ꢁBe careful against condensation
Extreme differences between system temperature
and air temperature can cause water droplets
(condensation) to form on the system. The system
will not operate properly while condensation is
present. If condensation forms, do not use the
system for a few hours to allow the condensation
to dry.
Take special care against condensation when the
system is moved between two locations of very
different temperatures, or into a room where high
humidity is present.
ꢀDo not use a phonograph record cleaner,
lacquer thinner, benzine or alcohol to clean
CDs.
ꢀDo not use any disc accessory (stabilizer,
protective sheet, protective ring, etc.) or lens
cleaner.
ꢁOther cautions
ꢀ
Do not write on a CD with a pencil or ballpoint
pen.
ꢁWhen the main unit becomes dirty
ꢀDo not use a CD if its sticker or label is peeling
or if any adhesive is coming out from under the
sticker or label.
When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth. Never use lacquer thinner,
benzine, alcohol or contact revitalizer, which will
cause discoloration or deformation.
ꢀDo not affix paper, stickers or labels to CDs.
Care and storage of connected components
Be sure to read the instruction manual that comes
with each component.
