SERVICE PERSONNEL.”

Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

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.

Heat — 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).

Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

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 abed, rug, orsimilarsurface that may

block the ventilation openings.

Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack

where ventilation may be impeded.

Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids

Electric Power

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

Polarization — 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.

AC power cord

- When disconnecting the power cord, pull out by the plug. Do

not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the power plug with wet hands, as this could

result in fire or shock.

- Power cord 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.

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.

When not in use— Disconnect the AC ~owercord from the AC outlet 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.

2 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, ANS1/NFPA 70, 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.

CONNECTIONS

Before connecting the AC cord

The rated voltage of your system 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.

● There are no differences between the front speakers. Both

speakers can be connected as L (Left) or R (Right).

7 Place the CD player unit on top of the tuner/

amplifier unit and plug in the connector of the flat cable as shown below.

Note that the connector can be plugged in in only one direction with the flat cable facing right.

Connect the speaker cords to the tuner/amplifier

unit.

The speaker cord from the right speaker should be connected to the “R” jack and the cord from the left speaker to the “L jack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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.

Care of the units

● Do not give the units a strong shock ie. drop or hit.

● Do not use the units close to a strong magnetic field such as a

television. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

Care of CDs

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.

If the unit fails to perform as described in these Operating Instructions, check the following guide.

GENERAL There is no sound.

● Is the AC cord connected properly?

● Is there a bad connection? (+ page 4)

● Was an incorrect function button pressed?

Sound is emitted from one speaker only.

● Is the other speaker disconnected?

Sound becomes inaudible suddenly.

+ The protection circuit was activated due to an internal heat

build-up. Turn off the power, make sure there is sufficient clearance behind the ventilation openings on the rear, and leave the system until it cools down.

An erroneous display or a malfunction

occurs, or an error

message appears.

Reset the system as stated below.

TUNER SECTION There is constant, wave-like static.

● Is the antenna connected properly? (+ page 5)

● Is the signal weak?

~ Connect an outdoor antenna.

The reception contains noise interferences or the sound is distorted.

● Is the system picking up external noise or multipath distotiion?

+ Change the orientation of the antenna.

-+ Move the system away from other electrical appliances.

CD PLAYER SECTION The CD player does not play.

● Is the disc correctly inserted? (+ page 11)

● Is the disc dirty? (+ page 16)

● IS the lens affected by condensation?
