“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards, but like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way —switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this

could result in a fatal electrical shock.

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CDReWritable) can be played only if they are already “finalized.”

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, PS (Program Service) appears and the RDS indicator lights up on the display. With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

TEXT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

More about RDS

• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.

• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.

• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

On the remote control ONLY: Press RDS MODE.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:

(Program Service)

Station frequency

(or preset channel no.)

• If no PS, PTY, or TEXT signals are sent by a station “NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO TEXT” appears on the display.

• When you change to FM from another source “PS” appears on the display regardless of the previous information setting.

• On the characters displayed When the display shows PS, PTY or TEXT signals: –The display shows upper case letters only. –The display cannot show accented letters; for example, “A”

may represent accented “A’s” like “Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä and Å.”

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs, tapes and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs and tapes in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit 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 unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the following:

– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth. – DO NOT wipe it too vigorously. – DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. – DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an

insecticide to it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

with it for a long time.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding 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 when placing it back in its case.

•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

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 rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

•Avoid storing tapes in any of the following places: – In dusty places – In direct sunlight or heat – In moist areas – On a TV or speaker – Near a magnet

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

You need to clean the heads.

• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and audio shops). When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will occur: – Sound quality is reduced. – Sound level decreases. – Sound drops out.

• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.

• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or magnetic tools.

Capstan

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
