reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
ENGLISH
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Turning on/off the BBEII function
The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,
broadcasts, etc.
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low , mid and high frequencies b y adding
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.
In addition, the BBE
be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When
combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more
finely detailed “live” presence.
Each time you press BBE, the BBEII function changes as follows.

If you want to use this mode, f ollo w the procedure below. When shipped from the factory, this
mode is set to “CRUISE OFF.”
• CRUISE 1: Select this if your car is relatively quiet.

MAINTENANCE
Handling CDs
This unit has been designed only to reproduce the CDs bearing the and marks.
Other discs cannot be played back.
How to handle CDs
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the case and
lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder

• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.
To keep CDs clean
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.
To play new CDs
New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD
is used, this unit may reject the CD.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave

CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and
humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.
When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.
• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiv er because of their disc
characteristics, and of the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.
• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and
the CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
