CAUTION: DO NOT turn on the System and/or start playing any source without first setting the VOLUME control to minimum, as a sudden blast of sound could damage your hearing, speakers and/ or headphones.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on headphones.

You can lower the subwoofer and L/R sp eaker leve l (at 100Hz) as required. (about 6 dB) The “BASS” indicator on the display of the Unit shows the status of this setting. “BASS” ON: Normal level “BASS” OFF: Level lowered

Each time you press the BASS CONTROL button on the Unit, the subwoofer and L/R speaker level is lowered or returned to the normal level.

You can control the tone by changing the bass and treble.

BASS Control ———————————

You can adjust the bas s level ( low frequ ency ra nge leve l) be tween –6 and 6. (0: Flat)

■

1. Press the BASS button on the Remote Control.

■

2. Press the UP or DOWN button on the Remote Control to adjust the bass level.

TREBLE Control ——————————

You can adjust the treble level (high freq uency range level) betwee n –6 and 6. (0: Flat)

■

■

2. Press the UP or DOWN button on the Remote Control to adjust the treble level.

This lets you adjust the range covered by the VOLUME control. This is useful if you rarel y list en at hi gher volu mes , and want fin er control over lower volumes. There are three volume gain settings:

0 dB: Normal volume.

–6 dB: The volume adjustabl e ra ng e is ex tended for lower

level. You can finely adjust the volume level than that for “0 dB”.

–12 dB: The volume adjustable range is further extended for

lower level. You can finely adjust the vol ume le vel than that for “–6 dB”.

Example:

Press the 0 dB, –6 dB, or –12 dB button on the Unit, or press the VOLUME GAIN SELECT button on the Remote Control to make your selection.

The following appears on the display for 2 seconds:.

• Volume Gain Selection When you change the volume gain with the VOLUME GAIN SELECT button, the VOLUME control auto matic a lly turns so that the volume level is kept almost the same.

Note:

• If you change the volume gain while listening to a music source, the sound may be muted for a few seconds before the new volume gain selection comes into effect. This happens in the following cases:

• Changing from the –12 dB selection to the –6 dB or 0 dB selections.

• Changing from the –6 dB selection to the 0 dB selection.

In addition to a standard d igital cloc k, an analog ue clock (which advances every fi ve minutes) can be displayed. The clock display order varies according to the System mode:

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 Syst em.

• 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 su r f a c e 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.

• 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 fr om a cold

to a warm place. Should this occur, the System may malfun ction. 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.

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 i n cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the system’s CD holder closed when not in use.

Cleaning the lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound. Open the CD holder and clean the lens as shown.

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.
