COMPACT COMPONENT SYSTEM

Installing the Equipment on the Wall

The Center Unit and Speakers can be attached to a wall.

CAUTIONS:

Attachment to a wall

• The Center Unit weighs approximately 4.3 kg. When its buttons are operated, an additional force will be applied to it in the downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be taken when attaching to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the Center Unit’s falling off the wall.

• Before attaching the Center Unit to the wall, check the wall and other related aspects, and verify whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the Center Unit itself but also to withstand the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operation. (Do not attach the Center Unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The Center Unit may fall and sustain damage as a result.) If you do not know the strength of the wall and other aspects, consult a qualified service person (such as a qualified constructor).

• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall.

• When attaching the Center Unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Attaching the Center Unit to the wall by making only one or two holes for the screws makes for an unstable attachment and causes a safety hazard as the Center Unit may fall down.

Location of attachment to a wall

• Care is required in selecting a location for attaching the Center Unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the Center Unit, may result if the Center Unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities or a location that the users are liable to knock their bodies or heads against.

• Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage.

Example of attachment (Center Unit)

The procedure below is intended merely to illustrate how the Center Unit can be attached to a wall and does not make any guarantees for safety while using the Center Unit on a wall. Take into account such factors as the material and strength of the wall, the status of the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place over time.

• The cords must be connected to the Center Unit before attaching to a wall. (See page 4.)

1. Select the place where the Center Unit is to be attached.

2. Mount three screws (not supplied) on the wall. (See the diagram below for the details of the size.)

• The supplied paper pattern will assist in determining the

positions of the screws.

Example of attachment (Speakers) (SP-VSDT6 only)

The speakers can be attached to a wall. Attach a screw (not supplied) on the wall, then hook the speaker onto the screw.

• Do not place anything on top of the Center Unit. Doing so may cause the Center Unit to fall, causing malfunctioning and/or injury.

• Do not climb onto the Center Unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the Center Unit and/or cause injury. Special care must be taken in this respect when there are small children in the home.

• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the Center Unit and wall. This may upset the Center Unit’s balance, causing the Center Unit to fall.

• Make sure that the cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not trip over them. Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.

• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.

• In the event that the Center Unit has fallen, turn off the power, disconnect its power plug from the power outlet, and contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs. Continued use of the Center Unit may result in a fire or electric shocks.

• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the Center Unit is attached. They will be damaged if the Center Unit should fall.

• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

PS (Programme Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Programme Type):

shows types of broadcast programmes.

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.

• If searching finishes at once, “WAIT PS”, “WAIT PTY” and “WAIT 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.

Care And Maintenance

Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with this System. However, continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.

• Do not stick a paper tape or a seal on the reading side or the label side. If you do so, the CD may not be unloaded, or the System can be damaged.

• 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.

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 Panel closed when not in use.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the followings.

- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

- DO NOT wipe it strong.

- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecti-

cides to it.

- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in con-

tact with it for a long time.

• 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.

CAUTION:

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

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.

• 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, and then plug it in again.
