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 sourceConnect the unit to a power source of  
the type described in these instructions or as marked  
on the unit.  
2. PolarizationThe 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 doesnt fit  
one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesnt fit,  
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do  
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.  
3. Power cord protectionRoute 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. OverloadingWhen 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 periodsTurn 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.

walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.  
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.  
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond  
that described in these operating instructions. Refer all  
other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.  
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing en-  
sure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufac-  
turer or parts that have the same characteristics as the  
original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in  
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
Environment  
1. Water and moistureDo not use the unit near water,  
such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp  
basements.  
2. HeatSituate the unit away from heat sources, such  
as radiators.

EST. 1924  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now  
its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and ex-  
citement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Associations 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-  
tionand, 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  
leveladapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds  
normalcan 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.  
Remote control  
signal sensor  
Super  
woofer  
Transmission  
window  
About 7 meters in  
front of the signal  
sensor.  
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 doorsthickness 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.

001????.mp3 : File (Track)  
WMA is a compression format developed  
by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the  
same sound quality as MP3 with a file  
size that is smaller than that of MP3.  
Note  
When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature  
is off.  
Noise may occur when playing WMA files.  
Limitations on MP3/WMA play  
This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.  
This unit does not use ID tags.  
When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the  
disc over a number of sessions:  
If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, 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.  
Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of  
the disc or recording.  
Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you  
recorded them.
