Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system. In it you will fi nd all the information you need to set up and use the system. If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.

Precautions

Installation
Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
Leave suffi cient distance between the System and the TV.
Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.
Internal heat
A cooling fan is mounted on the right side of the unit to prevent heat buildup inside the main unit (see page G-2).
For safety, observe the following carefully:
Make sure there is good ventilation the main unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.
DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
Power sources
When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:
After starting to heat 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, then plug it in again.

Hook Up
If you need more detailed information, see page 7.
Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples. When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear may vary.
Turn the power off to all components before connections.
For better FM/AM reception
Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)
Vynil-covered wire (not supplied)
Extend it horizontally.
AM loop antenna
Keep it connected.
Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 wire with coaxial type connector.
To a wall outlet Plug the AC power cord only after all connections are complete.
5
FM antenna (supplied)
Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.
Speaker cord (supplied)
Connect the black cord to the black (−) terminal.
AM loop antenna (supplied)
Turn it until the best reception is obtained.
Speaker cord (supplied)
Connect the white cord to the red (+) terminal.

To assemble and connect the AM loop antenna

To assemble the AM loop antenna
To connect the AM loop antenna
Make sure to connect the wire correctly.
If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords
are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl.
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.

To connect the speaker cords

Make sure the both speakers are connected correctly and fi rmly.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals. Red (+) terminal : white cord of the speaker
cord
Black (–) terminal : black cord of the speaker
cord
DO NOT connect more than one speaker
to each terminal.
DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of the System.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 16)
Listening to the Radio:
If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc/USB mass storage class device:
This System cannot play packet write discs.
For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer
readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/fi le confi guration.)
– Some MP3/WMA fi les cannot be played back
and will be skipped.
This result from their recording processes
and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO
9660 Level 1 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA fi les
with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– Some characters or symbols will not be
shown correctly on the display.
The maximum character number shown
on the display is 32 (without the extension code) for fi les, and 30 for ID3 tag.
– It is recommended that you make each MP3
fi le at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Similarly each WMA fi le at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 96 kbps.
– This System can recognize the total of
999 tracks and of 500 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be
different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs, and mechanism clean.
Handling discs
When removing the disc from its case, hold it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.
Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
Cleaning the System
Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System 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 System may deteriorate in quality, it become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following: – DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. – DO NOT wipe it strongly. – DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. – DO NOT apply any volatile substance such
as insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to
remain in contact for a long time.
