Chapter 1 Introduction
ELECTRIC POWER
1 Power Sources - Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and
as marked on the unit.
2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can
only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug
into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call
a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of
the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord - When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not
pull the cord itself.
• Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.
• Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
• Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire
or shock.
4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to
prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for
several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to
the unit, even when the power is turned off.

BEFORE OPERATION
CLEANING CABINET
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, as these might damage
the surface of the unit.
STORING DISCS
After recording or playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources
of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as temperature may rise considerably inside
the car.
CARE OF DISCS
• Discs can be scratched. Handle them carefully.
• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe it from the centre out with a soft cleaning cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for analog records.
REMOTE CONTROL
INSERTING BATTERIES
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and insert two batteries (size AAA).
GB
AAA
AAA
LOAD THE BATTERIES AS ILLUSTRATED
The maximum operational distance between the remote control and the sensor on the main unit should
be approximately 7 meters (23 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
USING THE SHARED BUTTONS
The remote control is designed to operate both of the CD decks of the unit. Some buttons are dedicated
to one specific CD deck, while others are shared between the two decks.
To use shared buttons, such as PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FORWARD SCAN, REVERSE SCAN, FORWARD
SKIP, REVERSE SKIP, PROGRAM, PROGRAM CHECK, PROGRAM CLEAR, RANDOM, REPEAT, A -B
and numbered buttons, first press either CD PLAY to control the play deck or CD REC to control the record
deck.
When CD PLAY or CD REC is pressed, “CDP” or “CDR” will appear on the appropriate information display
to confirm the selection.
NOTE
• If the remote control is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent possible electrolyte leakage.
• The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote sensor (located on the front panel) is
exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight.
- Other remote controls are used nearby (television, etc.).
