20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects

have fallen into the appliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to

rain or water,

D. If the appliance does not operate nor-

mally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualiﬁed technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or

damaged in any way, and

F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct

change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Preparing the remote controller

Installing the remote controller batteries

1 Remove the battery compartment

cover by pressing and sliding it away from the remote controller unit.

2 Insert two AA-size batteries into the

battery compartment.

Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive + and negative - symbols) inside the battery compartment.

3 After batteries are installed and

seated correctly, replace the compartment cover.

Notes

• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.

• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the

remote controller doesn’t operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.

• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.

Using the remote controller

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.

Control range

Notes

• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted ﬂuorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.

• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.

• Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

Setting the Clock

The ”ACCUCLOCK“ features an automatic clock adjusting function automatically sets the clock time by means of RDS broadcast signals.

• The “ACCUCLOCK” feature is available only on the European model, and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

• Adjust the clock as explained in “Setting the clock manually” on page 24 if you are using U.S. or Canadian models or if you are using the unit in the area where RDS broadcasts are unavailable.

Setting the clock automatically (European models only)

ACCUCLOCK starts operating as soon as the power cord is plugged in. It then searches for an RDS broadcasting station which regularly sends time signals and waits to receive such time information. Do not operate any buttons until the clock setting is complete. The R-801A retains the clock setting until you unplug the power cord. The following steps describe how to set the clock automatically:

1. Plug in the power cord.

“AUTO” ﬂashes slowly on the display.

• It may take about 5 minutes for the time

information to be received and displayed after you plug in the power cord.

6. After the clock is initially set, it will be adjusted periodically when the R-801A is in Standby mode.

Notes on using the “ACCUCLOCK” function:

• Make sure that your FM antenna has been properly connected as explained on page 18. It is strongly recommended that you install an outdoor FM antenna since the FM indoor antenna may not receive RDS broadcasts well enough to allow ACCUCLOCK to function properly.

• The clock will display the time in a 24 hour cycle. For example, 5:30 pm will be displayed as “17:30”. (You can select a 12 hour cycle display setting. For more information, see page 25.)

• If RDS signals cannot be received, no RDS station will be found. If an RDS signal is present but the signal is not strong enough, the ACCUCLOCK cannot set the time automatically, and the indication on the display turns off. If this occurs, set the clock manually. (See page 24.)

Disappear

flashes slowly

2. Once an RDS station that sends time signals is detected, the indicator ﬂashes more rapidly.

flashes rapidly

3. Once the time signal is received from the RDS station, “CLOCK ADJUSTED” will scroll on the display.

4. The received time information (the day of the week and the time) appears.

5. The time indicator turns off.

Disappear

Adjust the clock manually.

• You may wish to adjust the clock manually because the time information may differ depending on the RDS station detected. If so, follow the manual clock adjustment procedure described on page 24.

• There may be cases in which you can listen to radio broadcasts but cannot use the ACCUCLOCK function.

• Once activated, ACCUCLOCK will remember the RDS station it uses for two weeks even if the power cord of this unit is unplugged. If you move outside the service area of the memorized RDS station and ﬁnd out that ACCUCLOCK is not functioning, see “Conﬁrming/changing the RDS Station used by ACCUCLOCK” on page 23 to change the memorized RDS station.
