PRECAUTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions
for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well
as the safety suggestions below.
Installation
1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such
as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
2Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C
(41 °F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.
Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the
unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack
where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids
do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
6 Carts and stands — When
placed or mounted on a stand
or cart, the unit should be moved
with care.
Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause
the unit or cart to overturn or fall.
7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens
when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,
then try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted
on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructions.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent,
pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not
use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be
completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the
plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power plug if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned
off.
Outdoor Antenna
1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, provides information
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.

Electric Power
1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
2Polarization —As a safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and
try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please
call a qualified service technician to service or replace the
outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
Maintenance
Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating
Instructions.
Damage Requiring Service
Have the units serviced by a qualified service technician if:
- The AC power cord or plug has been damaged
- Foreign objects or liquid have gotten inside the unit
- The unit has been exposed to rain or water
- The unit does not seem to operate normally
- The unit exhibits a marked change in performance
- The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF.

CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the AC cord
The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel is
120 V AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local
voltage.
IMPORTANT
• Connect the speakers, antennas, and all optional equipment
first. Then connect the AC cord in the end,
• The front speaker marked R on the rear is the right speaker,
and the marked L is the left speaker.
1 Connect the right speaker to the main unit.
(D Connect the surround speaker cord to the SURROUND
SPEAKERS R terminal.
SBf
® Connect the speaker cord to the SPEAKERS R terminals.
The speaker cord with the white stripe should be connected
to the O terminal and the black cord to the O terminal.
2 Connect the ieft speaker to the main unit.
Connect the surround speaker cord to the SURROUND
SPEAKERS L terminal, and speaker cord to the SPEAKERS
L terminals in the same manner as step 1.

NOTE
• Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly. Improper
connections can cause short circuits in the SPEAKERS
terminals.
• Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.
• Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
• Do not bring the AM antenna near other optional equipment,
the stereo system itself, the AC cord or speaker cords, since
noise will be picked up.
• Do not unwind the AM antenna wire.
To connect other optional equipment page 20.
REMOTE CONTROL
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and
insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.

When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote control
and the sensor on the main unit should be approximately 5 meters
(16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries
with new ones.
• If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte
leakage.
• The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote
sensor inside the display window is exposed to intense light,
such as direct sunlight
- Other remote controls are used nearby (television, etc.)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the unit.
To clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths
with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with
cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)
When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback
head, erasure head (deck 2 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.
To adjust the sound level of the external source
When the sound level of the external source is much higher or
much lower than that of other function sources, adjust it as
follows.
1 Press the VIDEO/AUX button and play the equipment.
2 Turn the VIDEO/AUX INPUT LEVEL control on the rear panel
until the sound level becomes the same as that of other
function sources.
After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head
cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned
parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.
To demagnetize the heads
The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This
may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase
noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with
any commercially available demagnetizer.
Care of discs
• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
• After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
21 ENGLISH
Care of tapes
• Store tapes in their cases after use.
• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound
quality and cause noise.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
