Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• This manual mainly explains operations using the buttons on the remote control. You can use the buttons both on the remote control and on the unit for the same operations if they have the same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned otherwise.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Basic and Common Operations” on pages 8 and 9.

• The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. In addition, we put information here about conditions which will prevent getting the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you need to know.

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit 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 unit in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room.

• In a damp room.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

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 unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Unpacking

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied.

• AM loop antenna (1)

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AC plug adaptor (1)

If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries—R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F)—into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – marking on the battery compartment. When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

Connections

To connect speakers

You can connect the speakers using the speaker cords.

Gray

Speaker cord

Gray with black stripe

Speaker cord

To Audio equipment

To audio output

When the audio equipment has pin jacks for audio output: Be sure that the pin plugs of the audio cords are colored— white plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio signals.

Adjusting the Voltage Selector

Before plugging in the unit, set the correct voltage for your area with the voltage selector on the rear of the unit.

Adjust the position for the FM antenna for the best reception.

For better reception of both FM and AM

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals or connecting cords.

• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit, connecting cords, and the AC power cord.

Connecting Other Equipment

To connect audio equipment

You can connect audio equipment—used only as a playback device.

• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power is on.

• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all connections are complete.

Use a screwdriver to move the voltage selector so the voltage number is the same as the voltage where you are plugging in the unit. (See the back cover page.)

DO NOT plug in before setting the voltage selector on the bottom of the unit and all connection procedures are complete.

NOW you are ready to plug in the unit.

• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the supplied AC adaptor.

Playing Back Discs

CD3/8

Continued

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.

• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3 disc,” and “file” is also referred to as “track.”

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CDReWritable) can be played only if they are already

“finalized.”

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because

of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

Notes for MP3 files

• The player can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case.

• This unit recognizes up to 500 MP3 files on a disc.

• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1

kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.

• ID3 Tag is not available.

• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

Place a disc correctly with its label side up, then press down on the portions around the disc’s center hole until you hear a click.

Close the disc cover gently.

Press CD 6.

The unit automatically turns on and the source changes to the CD player. After loading the disc, the first track of the disc starts playing.
