Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with the TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

How Daily Timer works
Once the Daily Timer has been set, the timer indicator
() and timer number indicator (1/2/3) are lit on the
display. Daily Timer is activated at the same time
everyday until the timer is turned off manually (see the
next column) or another Daily Timer is activated.
When the on-time comes
The System turns on, tunes in to the last received station
or start playing the loaded disc, and sets the volume level
gradually to the preset level.
About one hour after playback starts, the System stops
playback, and turns off (standby) automatically.
• The timer setting remains in memory until you change
it.
• Without canceling the Daily Timer, you can change the
source or adjust the volume after Daily Timer starts
playback.

Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Daily Operations—Playback
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the
disc tray.
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs require a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file
configuration.)
– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This results from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level
2 for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3 files with the extension
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from
what you have intended when recording (see below). If a
folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
– This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.
Level 1Level 2Level 3Level 4Level 5
ROOT
Group with its play order
01
1
MP3 track with its play order
• This System can recognize up to 999 tracks in a disc. Also,
the System can recognize up to 256 tracks per group and up
to 99 groups in a disc.
– Even if a folder contains no playable files, the folder is
also counted in the total folder number.
– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are
handled as Group 1.

Playing Back a Portable Audio Device:
• When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the
AUX jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if
you can hear the sound from the speakers.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component
louder so that the System can detect the sound signal
properly.
• Changing from AUX to another source while QP Link
works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control
– Unplugging the component from the AUX jack, then
plugging it in again
• If you press STANDBY/ON to turn the System off or
if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works,
the System will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
– When the sound signal from the AUX jack stops or is too
weak for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
– When you turn on the power again
• QP Link may start working when you just plug in the
component to the AUX jack or unplug it. This is not a
malfunction.
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments
(see pages 10 and 11)
Adjusting the Volume:
• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or
putting on the headphones.
Adjusting the Sound:
• This function also affects the sound through the
headphones.

• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.

Handling discs
• When removing the disc from its case, hold it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
• Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean
with a dry cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or have its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed 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 instructions. 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.
UX-G33/UX-G30 MICRO COMPONENT SYSTEM
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation 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.
