Notes on Operation
7
Suitable Locations for the Main Unit
To minimize the need for servicing and maintain the high quality of this product, do not
place the main unit in the following locations:
• In a position subject to high humidity or considerable dust
• On an uneven or unstable surface
• Near a heat source
• Near a computer, fluorescent light or other electric appliance
• In a small room with insufficient ventilation
• In a position exposed to direct sunlight
• In a position exposed to excessive cold
• In a position exposed to strong vibration
• Near a TV, amplifier or tuner
• Near a magnetic source
CAUTION
•
The operating temperature of this product is 5°C to 35°C. Use in temperatures outside this range
may cause a malfunction or damage the product.
7
Condensation
Under the following conditions, you may not be able to operate this product properly due
to condensation formed on the lens of the main unit:
• When you have just started an air conditioner to warm your room
• When you have placed the main unit at an area with high humidity
• When you have moved the main unit from a cold place to a warm place
When condensation forms, leave the main unit turned on, wait for approximately 1 or 2
hours, and then operate the main unit.
7
Cleaning the Main Unit
When the operation panel becomes dirty, dust it with a soft dry cloth. When the operation panel is very dirty, wipe it with a cloth dampened with a small amount of a neutral
detergent, and then wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
Introduction
CAUTION
•
Do not wipe the operation panel with thinners, benzenes or other chemical agents. Do not spray
insecticides onto the operation panel. These may cause discoloration and damage to the surface.
Supplied Accessories

Hearing Aid Functions
When using the hearing aid functions:
You can listen to sound that has been slowed down.
You can listen to sound that has been made clearer.
You can listen to the sound once again.
This system employs digital signal correction technology to make the
speaker’s voice sound clearer so that you can hear it easily.
7
Slow Function
Even rapid speech delivered by a news announcer is slowed down.
To make rapid speech easier to understand, the main unit lowers the speed at the beginning of
each sentence and gradually resumes the actual speed. Use of intervals between words (blank
time) produces slower but natural sound without changing the total time of each sentence.
7
Clear Function
You can easily catch sound that has been made clearer.
Aging people have trouble hearing small voices and feel discomforted by loud voices. The main
unit produces clearer sound by correcting voices to a level aging people can hear easily.
7
Repeat Function
Even if you miss a word or sentence, you can play back the sound once again.
By constantly storing the sound (10 seconds maximum) to memory, the main unit can repeat
portions you missed, including telephone numbers and unfamiliar words/phrases.

Handling CDs
Available CD types
• Use a CD whose label side shows the ,
• Make sure not to use heart/flower shaped CDs or other irregularly shaped CDs. The use of such CDs damages
the main unit.
About CD-Rs/CD-RWs
You can play back a CD-R or CD-RW only when the disc is finalized.
• You can play back a CD-R or CD-RW which has been recorded in the music CD format. However, playback is
impossible in some cases due to the disc specifications or recording condition.
• Before using a CD-R or CD-RW, carefully read the cautions regarding the disc.
• Playback is impossible in some cases due to scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt or condensation on the lens.
• To play back a CD-RW on this product, erase all tracks if the CD-RW was recorded in a format other than the
music CD format. Using the CD-RW without erasing all tracks may result in damage to the speakers or other
parts caused by sudden loud volume.
• This product does not support MP3s/WMAs.

About Cassette Tapes
IMPORTANT
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to rerecord pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast
or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
• If a recording you made has excessive noise, the main unit may have been too close to a TV
which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the
TV and the main unit.
• This product is compatible with normal cassette tapes (TYPE I). The product is not compatible
with high position cassette tapes (TYPE II) or metal cassette tapes (TYPE IV).
7
Handling Cassette Tapes
• A slack tape may become caught in the inner part of
the main unit and damage the main unit. Before
using a cassette tape, wind up any slack in the
cassette tape as shown in the diagram.
• Do not use long cassette tapes such as C-120 or C-150. Long cassette tapes are useful for long playback/
recording but are thin and stretch easily, and may become tangled in the inner part of the main unit.

ings because once you snap off the write protect
tags, you cannot record to the cassette tape or
erase recorded material.
