a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your
dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove
the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to
avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent con­nection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are col­oured in accordance with the following code:

Loading batteries in the remote control unit

AM loop antenna (1)

for remote (2)

(1) Remove the battery com-

partment cover of the re­mote.

÷ The provided batteries are intended for use in operation checking, and their service life may be

short.

÷ When the remote-controllable distance becomes short, replace both of the batteries with new

ones.

÷ If direct sunlight or the light of a high-frequency fluorescent lamp (inverter type, etc.) is incident to

the remote sensor on the main unit front panel, malfunction may occur. In such a case, change the
installation position to avoid malfunction.

÷ When pressing more than one remote control keys successively, press each key securely by

leaving an interval of 1 second or more between keys.

÷ The standard remote-control range is within about 6 meters from the main unit front panel. Be

sure to point the remote to remote sensor on the front panel.

To wall AC outlet

Antenna assembly
method

The provided antenna has been designed
for indoor use. Place it in a position as
apart as possible from a TV and power
cords and orient it to obtain the best re­ceiving condition.

÷ When removing the power cord con-

nection, unplug the power plug of the
wall outlet first.

÷ Be sure to insert each connection cord securely. If a cord is plugged in incompletely, audio may not

be output or noise may be generated.

÷ Before connecting or disconnecting any connection cord, be sure to first unplug the power cord

from the wall power outlet.

÷ Do not install the speakers near a TV set. Otherwise, color irregularities due to magnetism may be

observed on the TV screen.

÷ Be sure to put the unit to the STANDBY mode (page 71) before plugging or unplugging the power cord.

System connection (continued)

Connecting other components

headphones

Plug the optional headphones equipped
with stereo mini-plugs.
÷ When listening audio through

speakers, unplug the headphones
from the PHONES jack.

AUX (auxiliary) component

An additional MD player, cassette tape or analog turntable with built-in equalizer (such as the
P-110) which are available separately can optionally be connected to the system using an
audio cable with stereo mini-plugs (option).

÷ The AUX IN terminals are input jacks. An AUX component for use in recording cannot be con-

nected to the system.

÷ When recording an AUX component, also read the instruction manual of the component.
÷ When an analog turntable is connected and located in proximity of the system, howling noise may

interfere with the system when the listening volume is increased. In this case, install the analog
turntable farther apart from the system.

÷ The input level from the AUX component can be adjusted on this system. (page 29)

In regard to demonstration

This unit incorporates a demonstration mode (display only). The demonstration shows the
