• 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 9 to 12.

• 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.

Precautions

• 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.

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

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

If the cords are covered with insulation, remove a short section of insulation at the end of each cord by twisting and pulling it off.

Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals as illustrated.

Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the best reception.

To connect an outdoor AM antenna

When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. The AM loop antenna must remain connected.

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.

If the cords are covered with insulation, remove a short section of insulation at the end of each cord by twisting and pulling it off.

Hold the clamp of the speaker terminal.

Insert the end of the speaker cord into the terminal.

Match the polarity of the speaker terminals: Red cord to red terminal ª and black cord to black terminal ·.

Release your finger from the clamp.

IMPORTANT:

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

Connecting External Equipment

You can connect other equipment which can be used as a playback device. When you connect and use the equipment, refer also to its manual supplied.

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

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

To connect external equipment

Be sure that the plugs of the audio cords are color coded: White plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio signals.

English

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries—R6S(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.

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.

• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery

compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the remote control will be damaged from battery leakage.

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CDReWritable) can be played only if they are already “finalized.”

• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CDRWs recorded in audio CD format. However, sometimes they may not play depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

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

• 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.

Press the same disc eject button (CD10 – CD50) you have pressed in step 1.

The disc tray closes.

Press the disc eject button (CD10 – CD50) for the next tray you want to place a disc onto. The first disc tray automatically closes and the next disc tray comes out.
