PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Set Up
• Carefully remove the unit and the accessories from the carton and remove all
the packing material from the unit.
• Carefully remove any small strips of tape which may have been used to keep
the CD and Cassette doors closed during shipment.
• Open the CD compartment by pressing the OPEN button on top panel. Inside
the CD compartment you will see a “dummy CD” transit card which is used to prevent the laser pick -up from moving during shipment. Carefully remove this card and close the CD compartment door.
• Note the serial number on the back of your radio and write this number in the
space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.
• Please save the carton and packing materials in the event that your unit ever
needs to be returned for service. The original carton and packing materials are the only way to protect the unit from damage during shipment.
Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or c leaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Power Sources
AC Outlet
This unit is designed to operate on 8 “C” batteries, not included, or on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current. Operating this unit from any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
AC Operation
Connect the small end of the AC Power Cord to the AC socket on the back cabinet, then insert the plug in any convenient household 120V 60Hz AC outlet.
NOTE: This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock.
If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Pre-setting Stations In The Tuner Memory
This system includes a 20 station preset memory. You can store up to 10 FM stations and 10 AM stations in the tuner memory for immediate recall. The procedure for storing stations in memory is as follows:
1.) Follow step 3 under “Listening To The Radio” on page 12 to select the first
station you wish to memorize.
Example: FM 103.5 MHz.
2.) When the desired station appears on the display, press the MEMORY button
on main unit top panel or PROG./MEMORY button on the remote control.
The “MEMORY” indicator flashes and the “P 1” indicator appears in the display.
3.) Press the MEMORY button on top panel or PROG./MEMORY button on the
remote control once more to enter the station in preset memory channel “P 1”.
The “MEMORY” indicator stops flashing.
4.) Tune to the next station you wish to memorize.

procedure to enter up to 10 AM stations in the tuner memory.
Auto-Preset Function
This model includes an Auto-Preset feature which you can use to automatically enter 10 strong FM and AM stations in the tuner preset memory.
NOTE: This feature is useful if you live in a rural area with a limited number of stations. However if you live in a major metropolitan area with many strong stations, do not use the Auto-Preset feature. It will memorize the first 10 strong stations it encounters and these will probably not be the same 10 stations that you would select if you were memorizing stations manually.
To use the Auto-Preset feature, turn the unit 'On', select the Tuner function and the desired band.
Depress and hold the the MEMORY button on main unit, or PROG./MEMORY button on the remote control until the tuner display begins to move, then release the button.

Resetting The System Computer
This system is equipped with a special circuit designed to protect the internal computer from permanent damage due to unexpected power surges.
If you find that the system does not respond to any commands from the unit controls or the remote handset, the system probably experienced a sudden power surge that activated the protection circuit.
To reset the system after a power surge use the point of a pencil, a toothpick, a straightened paper-clip or similar object to press the RESET button which is located in a small opening on the bottom of unit.
RESET Button
The system will return to the Standby (Power Off) mode.
NOTE: Resetting the system computer also clears all of the system memory and returns the system to its original factory default settings. All of the preset memories will be erased after you press the RESET button.
It will be necessary to re-enter the stations in the tuner preset memories.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
COVER OPENING WITH TAPE
BREAK OUT TO PREVENT RECORDING
About Cassette Tapes
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each s ide of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for s ide A. This prevents the record key from locking.
TAB FOR SIDE A
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the record key to function again.

Cassette Care
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1.)Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2.)Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of themechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:
• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible
through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig. 2).
• If the cassette feels “tight” while performing operation
shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to “ridges” formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.

• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.

Head Cleaning
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance.
Disconnect the AC power cord, press the STOP/EJECT key to open the cassette door, and press the PLAYkey. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

Compact Disc Care
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
