SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been disigned and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of

equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instr uctions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended opera-

tion or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is

illegal to watch television whilst driving. DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s

approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -this could result

in a fatal electrical shock.;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Receiving FM Stations with

EnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglish

RDS

You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on the Unit or the Remote Control. RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:

PS (Program Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

shows types of broadcast program.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

What information can RDS signals provide?

The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.

To show the RDS signals on the display

Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an FM station.

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show information in the following order:

DISPLAY

or PS PTY RT Frequency

PS (Program Service):

While searching, “PS” alternately appear on the display. Then, the RDS indicator lights up and the station name appears. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):

While searching, “PTY” alternately appear on the display. Then, the RDS indicator lights up and the broadcast program type appears. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

While searching, “RT” alternately appear on the displa y. Then, the RDS indicator lights up and a text message sent by the station appears. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Station Frequency:

Station frequency (non-RDS service)

• If searching finishes at once, “PS”, “PTY” and “RT” will not appear on the display.

• If you press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an AM (MW/LW) station, the display only shows station frequency.

• RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.

On characters displayed

When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:

• The display shows upper case letters only.

• The display cannot show accented letters; For example, “A” may represent accented “A’s” like “Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä and Å”.

[Example of characters displayed]

The program type indicator remains in the display, indicating that the EON is in standby mode.

• When the EON is in standby mode and a radio broadcast is being recorded, be careful because the EON may be activated and a different program than the intended one may be recorded. When the EON mode is not required, release the EON mode.

• When the alarm signal is detected by EON, the station broadcasting alarm is received with priority. “ALARM!” is not displayed.

• When the sound alternated intermittently between the station tuned in by the EON function and the current selected station, canc el the EON mode. This does not constitute malfunction of the unit.

Press the PTY/EON button within 10 seconds

again to set the selected program type.

The selected program type indicator lights up on the display, and the unit enters EON Standby mode.

• The EON indicator lights up when tuned to a station which provides EON information.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source, the procedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording

❏❏❏❏

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

❏The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape

is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

❏Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A

and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording.

Adhesive tape

• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.

• If a recording you make has excessive noise or static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the Unit.

EnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglish

❏To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover

the holes with adhesive tape first.

❏Type I tape can be used for recording.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

(When finished)

Standard Recording

EnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglish

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with this procedure.

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader. Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

“CD REC” appears on the display and the “REC” indicator lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape. When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, “CD REC FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by itself rather than play all night.

• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.

Using the Remote Control

During playback a source, press the SLEEP

button.

The “SLEEP” indicator starts blinking on the display.

Set the length of time you want the source to

SLEEP

Wait for 5 seconds.

The “SLEEP” indicator stops blinking and remains lit, and the display returns to the original one before setting the Sleep Timer. The System is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you have set.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer: The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:

• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC Timer is operating, the other timer just won’t come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on a tape.

• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is operating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.

❏If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is ope rating, the

DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Timer is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use the settings from the DAILY Timer.

Example 1

To Confirm the Sleep Time:

When the SLEEP button on the Remote Control is pressed, the remaining sleep time is displayed. Wait until the display returns to the original display.

To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting:

Press the SLEEP button on the Remote Control until the “SLEEP” indicator goes out on the display.

• Turning off the System also cancels the SLEEP Timer.

• Remove the CD from its case by holding it at the edges while pressing the case’s center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or bend the CD.

• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in the case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cassette Tapes

• If the tape is loose in its casse tte, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Do not touch the tape surface.

• Do not store the tape:

- In dusty places

- In direct sunlight or heat

- In moist areas

- On a TV or speaker

- Near a magnet

Cassette Deck

• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck become dirty, the following will occur:

- Loss of sound quality

- Discontinuous sound

-Fading

- Incomplete erasure

- Difficulty recording

• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

CAUTION:

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:

• After turning on heating in the room.

• In a damp room.
