Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries.A built-
in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the
memory during power failures and even when the unit is un-
plugged. The unit must be plugged in order to charge the back-up
system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged
varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the
average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few
weeks after the last time the unit has been unplugged. This pe-
riod is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid cli-
mate.

•
•
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause sound deterioration. Wipe
the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep
the disc clean.
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc
lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry
cloth.
Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commer-
cially available cleaners or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. It may
damage the disc.
•
•
Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs
that have peeling labels, or discs that have custom labels or stick-
ers. Otherwise, you may not be able to eject the discs, or the unit
may become inoperative.

After setting the timer, be sure to set this unit in Standby mode. If
this unit is not in Standby mode, the timer will not work.
When the power is turned on by one of the timer mode settings,
the other timer modes may not be activated at their ON time. The
power will be switched off by the first timer mode at its OFF
time. Set a gap of one minute or more between the OFF time and

ing, the power will be switched off at the SLEEP timer's OFF
time.

setting. The “REC” mode setting has no priority.
The timer recording setting will be cancelled if the recording does
not start at the ON time (for example, if the power is already on).
