R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) (supplied)

CAUTION:

To avoid battery leakage or explosion:

• Remove batteries when the remote control is not in use for an extended period of time.

• When you need to replace the batteries, replace both batteries at the same time with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the system’s control panel (from a distance of up to 7 m or 23 feet). If you point the remote control from the slant direction, the distance will be shortened.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to strong direct sunlight or artiﬁcial lighting.

• Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote sensor and the remote control.

Match the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings in the battery compartment.

Battery cover

To remove the batteries, remove battery “3” ﬁrst.

PHONES jack

Notes:

• The memory backup batteries will not be consumed as long as the power is supplied from an AC outlet, loaded 10 batteries, or car battery (DC12V). However, if no power is supplied to the system, the memory backup batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately every 12 months to securely maintain the contents of the memory.

• Before replacing the memory backup batteries, always connect the AC power cord to the system to prevent the contents of memory from being erased.

• When a power failure occurs, the time indication disappears from the display to save the battery power of the memory backup batteries.

CAUTION:

To avoid battery leakage or explosion:

• When you need to replace the batteries, replace all batteries at the same time with new ones. Before replacing, you need to supply AC power to the system.

• Do not use an old battery with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

■

Operating the system on batteries

“R20/D(13F)” size batteries (not supplied)

To remove the batteries, remove battery “10” ﬁrst.

Notes:

• When you operate the system on mains (AC) power or on car battery (DC12V), the power source automatically switches from batteries to AC or DC12V. However, you should remove the 10 batteries when operating on AC power or car battery (DC12V).

• When the batteries are exhausted, the following symptoms will occur: – Mistracking occurs during disc playback. – Sounds are distorted intermittently during

tape playback.

– “DC OFF” ﬂashes on the display, then the

power goes off.

If this happens, replace the batteries.

• It is recommended to use AC power cord when recording important material or listening to a disc.

CAUTION:

To avoid battery leakage or explosion:

• Remove the 10 batteries when the system is not in use for an extended period of time.

• When you need to replace the batteries, replace all batteries at the same time with new ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

• If the power is supplied through the batteries, the display will be blank with the system turned off (at standby).

Unplug the AC power cord from the system to supply the power through the batteries; otherwise, the system does not work.
