BEFORE APPLYING POWER

Caution : Read this page carefully to ensure safe operation.

Units are designed for operation as follows.

Europe and U.K. ........................... AC 230 V only

China and Russia .......................... AC 220 V only

For the United Kingdom

Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 3-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach 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:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three-pin plug.

Other countries .......... AC 110 / 127 / 220 / 230 -

240 V switchable*

AC voltage selection

The AC voltage selector switches on the rear panel are set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting positions of these switches match your line voltage. If not, they must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following

direction.

AC voltage selector switches

Turn the selector to match your line voltage with a small screwdriver or other pointed tool. (110V, 127V, 220V or 230V - 240V AC)

230V

240V

Note: Our warranty does not cover damage

caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switch.

HANDLING OF DISCS AND TAPES

Disc handling precautions

Handling

Hold the discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Label side

Playing side

Sticker

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of the discs.

Sticky paste

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm) and the audio part of CDV, CD-G, CD-EG and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply with the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the

marking on the label surface.

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent. Please do not use discs which are not round because they may cause a malfunction.

Disc accessories

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole

For A side

For B side

and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.

To re-record

Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.

Note :

•

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.

• Do not use a cassette with more than 90 minutes recording time, for the tape used in such a cassette

is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as engantlement around the pinch roller or cutting of tape.

Antenna connection

Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 Ω terminal and position the FM antenna wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

FM antenna

AM loop antenna

External FM antenna

Supplied AM loop antenna

Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM LOOP socket. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes :

• Do not place the antenna on the main unit as it may result in noise pickup from the internal digital electronics. Place the antenna away from the unit for better reception.

• If the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire are placed near to the AC power cord, interference may result.

External FM antenna

Use an external FM antenna if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.

EX.BASS

DEMO

Demo mode

To enter into the demonstration mode:

When the unit is in the standby mode, press the EX.BASS/DEMO button again.

To cancel the demonstration mode :

Press the EX.BASS/DEMO button.

• The demonstration mode will be cancelled and the unit will be in the low power consumption mode.

Notes :
