IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions

listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

4) Follow all instructions.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with

the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to

avoid injury from tip-over.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused

for long periods of time.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,

such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been

spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,

or has been dropped.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than

the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided

for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.:

Listening caution

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-

ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-

ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-

ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-

chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-

ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-

ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound

come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or

distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive

hearing.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and re-

ceiver.

•

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

•

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can

actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE

your hearing adapts.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.

•

To establish a safe level:

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment

would void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Start your volume control at a low setting.

Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

•

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-

tion is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

Set the dial and leave it there.

•

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage

or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Common Problems

Turn the volume up.

No sound.

Switch off the unit, determine and correct the cause, then switch the unit on. Causes include shorting of

the positive and negative speaker wires, straining of the speakers through excessive volume or power,

and using the unit in a hot environment.

Sound stops.

Check the speaker connections. 5

Sound is unfixed, reversed or

comes from one speaker

only.

An AC power supply cord or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and cords away

from this unit’s cables.

Humming heard during play.

“ERROR” is displayed.

Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again.

You plugged the AC power supply cord in for the first time or there was a power failure recently. Set the

time. ^

“– –:– –” appears on the

display at standby mode.

“F61” is displayed.

Check and correct the speaker cords connection. 5

If this does not fix the problem, there is a power supply problem. Consult the dealer.

Listening to the radio

Noise is heard.

The stereo indicator flickers

or doesn’t light.

Use an outdoor antenna. %

Sound is distorted.

A beat sound is heard.

Turn the TV off or separate it from the unit.

A low hum is heard during

AM broadcasts.

Separate the antenna from other cables and cords.

When there is a television set nearby

The picture on the TV

disappears or stripes

appear on the screen.

The location and orientation of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna, change to

an outdoor antenna.

The TV antenna wire is too close to the unit. Separate the antenna wire of the TV set from the unit.

Using the cassette deck

Poor quality sound.

Clean the heads. See below

Recording is not possible.

If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape. %

Playing discs

The disc may be upside down. 8

Wipe the disc.

The display is wrong or

play won’t start.

Replace the disc if it is scratched, warped, or non-standard.

Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a sudden change in temperature. Wait about an

hour for it to clear and try again.

The total number of tracks

displayed differs each time

the same disc is inserted.

Unusual sound is heard.

The disc may be scratched, or its data may be defective. Replace the disc.

CD-RW cannot be read.

The disc was incompletely formatted. Use the recording equipment to fully format the disc before recording.

The unit cannot display the remaining play time for variable bit rate (VBR) tracks.

“VBR–” is displayed

instead of the remaining

play time.

There is a problem with the disc mechanism. (A power failure may have occurred.)

The tray will open automatically. Remove the disc from the tray, and after ensuring there is no disc in the tray,

close it. The unit will make the disc changing noises for a few moments and then it should operate normally.

“TAKE OUT/DISC” appears

on the display.

Remote control

Check that the batteries are inserted correctly. 4

Replace the batteries if they are worn.

Remote control doesn’t

work.

Maintenance

For a cleaner, crisper sound

If the surfaces are dirty

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Clean the heads regularly to assure good quality playback and

recording.

Use a cleaning tape (not included).

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.
