IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety
precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor
Safety
antenna that it is not near overhead power lines, elec-
tric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no dan-
ger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights,
or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna,
take extreme care not to touch such power lines or
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of
the type described in these instructions or as marked
on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized
circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit
one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply
cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or
cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly
when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an out-
door antenna, ground the antenna system to protect
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Sec-
tion 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990, provides information about 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, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.
Be
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply
cord, be careful not to overload the household AC out-
let, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as
this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is
not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during
lightning storms.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and ex-
citement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’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 distor-
tion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensi-
tive hearing.
Be
Use of batteries
• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the
batteries.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to exces-
sive noise.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow
them to contact flame or water.
• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long
time.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as
necklaces.
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.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage
which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a
fire.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listen-
ing for a lifetime.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact
with any part of your body.
Correct method of use
Placement of speakers
Place the speakers so that the super woofer is on the
outside.

Notes
• Keep your speakers at least 10mm (13/32˝) away from the
system for proper ventilation.
Operation notes
• The super woofers are located on the sides of the
speakers. Leave 10-cm clearance for them to be effective.
• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not
place them near televisions, personal computers or other
devices easily influenced by magnetism.
• To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the
speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.
• Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal
sensor and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct
sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
• Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and the
end of the remote control unit free from dust.
• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the
glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to
use the remote control unit a shorter distance from the
system.
To prevent damage
• Never place heavy items on top of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.

will play from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the
session before the first CD-DA recordings.
• If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will
play only the recordings made in that session. The
subsequent sessions will be ignored.
• Maximum number of displayable characters in the album
and track name is 31.
• You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play,
program play and search function.
