Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• 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 sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with the TV.

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.

How Daily Timer works

Once the Daily Timer has been set, the timer indicator () and timer number indicator (1/2/3) are lit on the display. Daily Timer is activated at the same time everyday until the timer is turned off manually (see the next column) or another Daily Timer is activated.

When the on-time comes

The System turns on, tunes in to the last received station or start playing the loaded disc, and sets the volume level gradually to the preset level.

About one hour after playback starts, the System stops playback, and turns off (standby) automatically.

• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.

• Without canceling the Daily Timer, you can change the source or adjust the volume after Daily Timer starts playback.

How Recording Timer works

When Recording Timer has been set, the timer indicator () and REC indicator are lit on the display. Recording Timer works only once.

When the on-time comes

The System turns on, tunes in to the specified station, sets the volume level to the preset level, and starts recording.

When the off-time comes

The System stops recording, and turns off (standby).

• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback

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:

• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

• For MP3 playback... – MP3 discs require a longer readout time than regular

CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be

skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level

2 for the disc format.

– This system can play back MP3 files with the extension

code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/ lower).

– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from

what you have intended when recording (see below). If a folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.

– This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5

ROOT

Group with its play order

MP3 track with its play order

• This System can recognize up to 999 tracks in a disc. Also, the System can recognize up to 256 tracks per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. – Even if a folder contains no playable files, the folder is

also counted in the total folder number.

– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are

handled as Group 1.

Playing Back a Tape:

• It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These tapes easily jam in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may cause characteristic deterioration.

• If you start playback with no cassette inserted, the System tries to play back without displaying a notice.

Playing Back a Portable Audio Device:

• When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the AUX jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if you can hear the sound from the speakers. In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component louder so that the System can detect the sound signal properly.

• Changing from AUX to another source while QP Link works will deactivate QP Link temporarily. In this case, the following reactivates QP Link: – Pressing QP LINK on the remote control – Unplugging the component from the AUX jack, then

plugging it in again

• If you press STANDBY/ON to turn the System off or if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System will deactivate QP Link temporarily. In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link: – When the sound signal from the AUX jack stops or is too

weak for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off

– When you turn on the power again

• QP Link may start working when you just plug in the component to the AUX jack or unplug it. This is not a malfunction.

• 10 seconds before preset Recording Timer starts working, the System will deactivate QP Link temporarily until the following happens: – Recording off-time comes. – Recording is stopped manually.

Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments

(see pages 11 and 12)

Adjusting the Volume:

• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

• This function does not affect recording.

Setting the Clock:

• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock.

Advanced Disc Operations

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

• You cannot specify a group number of an MP3 disc for Program Play.

• If you try to program the 100th track, “FULL” appears on the display.

Recording Operations

Recording on a Tape:

• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you can adjust the sound without affecting the recording level.

• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start and end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording from CD or radio broadcast, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

• If you try to start recording with no cassette inserted or with a protected tape, your request will be ignored and “NO REC” appears on the display.

Synchronized Disc Recording:

• When the tape reaches its end while recording, recording stops even though the disc is not entirely recorded.

• You cannot open the disc tray while recording from CD. – If you press 0

appears on the display.

• You cannot activate Repeat Play while recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect from unexpected erasure or re-recording.

Handling cassette tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotate it. – If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in

the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or speaker, or near a magnet.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:

• Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers.

• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System is turned off).

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 waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or have its paint peeled off, be careful about the following: – DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. – DO NOT wipe it forcefully. – 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.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs, cassette tapes, and mechanism clean.
