and not repeated under each function.

• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. TUNER BAND, “NO DISC”.

• System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require. We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Installation of the System

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV.

• Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.

2. Power cord

■

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

3. Malfunctions, etc.

■

• There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the System.

With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, an MD, or turn on the radio with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. If the System is not ready (no CD in place, for example), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
