When operating the unit using the remote control
transmitter press the buttons on the remote control
transmitter slowly and accurately.
■ Inserting the remote control transmitter bat
teries
1. Open the cover of the battery case.
2. Insert the batteries.
Batteries used: Two R03//LR03 (UM-4 or equivalent, not
included).
■ Replacement interval of remote control trans
mitter batteries
Although the life of the batteries will vary depending upon
the number of times that the remote control transmitter is
used, the average life based on the used of the batteries is
about 1 year.
If the remote control transmitter fails to operate when it is
held near the unit, replace the batteries with new batter
ies, even if one year has not elapsed.
Precautions for using the remote control trans
mitter
•If the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the remote
control transmitter may sometimes fail to function.
Be sure, therefore, to keep the unit out of direct
sunlight. In such case, the maximum range of the
remote control transmitter (approx. 7 m) may some
times be reduced.
• If strong light falls on the remote control sensor of
the unit (e.g. high frequency type fluorescent lamp),
the signals from the remote control transmitter may
fail to be received by the unit. In such a case, take
steps to prevent strong light from falling onto the
unit.
• if there is an obstacle between the remote control
transmitter and the unit, the signals from the remote
control transmitter will be blocked off, preventing
the unit from operating.
Use the remote control transmitter In a position
directiy in front of the unit so that the remote control
sensor can be seen.
•Even if the remote control transmitter is not aimed
at the unit, the unit may sometimes operate when a
button on the remote control transmitter is pressed.
This is caused by the infra-red beam being reflected
off a wall, ceiling, floor, or furniture, and striking the
remote control transmitter of the unit.
•Do not operate the remote control transmitter of this
unit near a unit which is designed to operate using a
different remote control transmitter.
•Do not simultaneously use this remote control transmit
ter and one or more remote control transmitters in
tended either for the same type of unit or for another
type of unit, such as a television set.
•If you operate the remote control transmitter near the
unit when listening to an AM broadcast, noise may be
heard. In such a case, hold the remote control transmit
ter at a sufficient distance from the unit so that noise is
not heard.
•Do not disassemble the remote control transmitter or
touch any of the components inside it.
Do not place a heavy object on the remote control
transmitter or leave it exposed to direct sunlight or in a
hot location.
•Do not spill liquids on the remote control transmitter.
This may cause damage to the remote control trans
mitter.

INSTALLING THE DRY BATTERIES FOR MEMORY BACK-UP
This is a function which preserves the preset memory and most-recent memory functions, (n the event of a power failure, or if the
AC mains cord is disconnected from the household AC mains outlet (during AC operation), or should the batteries fail, the memory
back-up batteries will preserve the preset memory and the most-recent memory functions of this unit.
■ Memory back-up batteries (four R6/LR6)
1. Open the memory back-up battery compartment cover,
2. Insert four “R6/LR6" size (UM-3 or equivalent, not included) batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that the
batteries are installed in the designated numerical order and that the proper polarities are maintained,
3. Close the cover.
The life of the memory back-up batteries is about one year.
While exchanging the memory back-up batteries, be sure to connect the AC mains cord both to the unit and household AC
mains outlet.
•To prevent erasing the memory
In case the memory back-up batteries are not used, power
failure (when using AC mains) or the following operations
cause the erasure of the memory:
When using AC mains: unplugging the AC mains cord from
the household AC mains outlet.
When using battery power (“R20/LR20"): inserting the AC
mains cord only into the AC socket of this unit.
If one of the above cases occurs, enter the program into
the memory again,
in order to avoid the accidental erasure of the program in
the memory, using the memory back-up batteries (4 “R6/
LR6" size, UM-3 or equivalent, not included) is recom
mended.
The amount of light provided by the operation/battery check/
AC connection indicator is a good indication as to how much
longer the batteries can be used.
• Press the operation switch to turn on the unit.
When the operation/battery check/AC connection indicator
goes out or dims, replace all batteries with new ones.

■ Cassette tapes exceeding 90 minutes
These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording
time but be careful about repeatedly stopping and starting,
rewinding and fast forwarding these tapes in short intervals
as they are thin, tend to stretch and may become entangled
in the machine.
If the tape loosens, take up
the slack by turning the reel
in the proper directions.
Do not handle, or pull the
tape out of the cassette.
Notes:
• Use normal types of cassette tapes only. If other
tapes are used, you may not obtain optimum per
formance.
•Cassettes, both recorded and unrecorded, should
not be stored in locations with high temperature,
high humidity or direct sunlight. Never place a
recorded cassette near a magnetic source, such as
a magnet or a TV set as this may affect tape
performance.
RECORD PREVENTION TABS
Cassettes are provided with plastic tabs (as illustrated) to
prevent accidental erasing of a recording.
Recordings can be made only when the tab is intact. There
is one tab for each side (track) of the tape. To presen/e a
valuable recording, the tab(s) should be broken off with a
small screwdriver.
If you want to record on a track whose tab has already been
broken off, use attach tape to cover the hole, and record.
Notes:
•When not using a microphone, disconnect it from
the microphone jack.
•While using the microphone, howling or squealing
may sometimes occur. When it occurs, separate
the microphone from the speaker, or decrease the
volume level.
•When the compact disc play stops or pauses while
enjoying the microphone mixing, the voice from the
speaker also stops.

NOTES FOR CD OPERATION
• Do not attempt to take this unit apart or
attempt repairs yourself.
This unit is a very intricate device that uses a laser pickup to
retrieve information from the surface of compact discs. The
laser is carefully shielded so that its rays remain inside the
cabinet. Therefore, never try to disassemble the player or
alter any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser rays
and dangerous voltages.
Laser products:
Wave Length—780 nm
Laser Power—No hazardous radiation is emitted
with safety protection.
■ The top and rear panels of the unit become
warm while a disc Is being played.
This Is one way in which the unit dissipates heat and is not a
malfunction.
■ Handle this unit with care when carrying or
storing, do not subject it to any strong bumps
or impacts.
Always remove the disc before storing the unit for any
period of time.
CONCERNING COMPACT DISCS
■ Turn down the volume control.
Compact discs have much less noise and a much wider
dynamic range. Consequently, you may turn the volume up
too high if you adjust it by trying to listen to surface noise as
you might with a phonograph record. To prevent this prob
lem, turn the volume down, raising it as desired only after
the music has started playing.
■ Time displayed by this unit may differ slightly
from the track time in the disc liner note.
The liner note included with each compact disc lists the
playing times of each track. Since the times calculated by
this unit include pause intervals, the displayed time may
differ from the liner note time by this amount.
■ Do not place this unit near a tuner or tele
vision.
This unit uses high frequency signals and can cause
interference with other radio and television reception. If this
occurs, move this unit further away from the radio or
television or change from an interior to an exterior television
antenna.
Observe the following precautions to enjoy the same out
standing performance from your compact discs for many
years.
n COMPACT
■ Handling precautions
Only compact discs having this mark
can be used with this player. DIGITAL AUDIO
• Hold compact discs by the edges so the surface is not
soiled with fingerprints.
•Be careful not to scratch the surface with fingernails or
other sharp objects, particularly when inserting and remov
ing discs from their cases.
•Do not bend the disc.
•Do not use record cleaning sprays or static electricity
prevention liquids.
•Do not wipe with benzine, thinner or any other solvent. If
the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water
only) cloth.
•When wiping discs, always move the cloth directly outward
from the center of the disc, not in a circular motion as with
standard phonograph records.
X
(In compact discs, circular scratches along a line of pits
are more likely to cause errors than straight scratches
across many lines of pits.)
•If the disc is brought from a cold environment into a warm
room, dew may form on the disc. Wipe this off with a soft,
dry cloth before using the disc.
• Do not try to dry discs with a hair dryer.
• Do not write on the labei side with a bail-point pen, hard
pencil or other writing utensil.
■ Storage precautions
•Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from
dust, scratches and warping.
•Do not place or store discs in the following places:
1. Locations exposed to direct sunlight
2. Locations with high humidity or a lot of dust
3. Locations directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating
appliance
4. in the glove compartment or rear ledge of an auto
mobile

MAINTENANCE
ABOUT DEW
Dew is often seen as water built-up on the inside of
the windows in a warm room on a cold winter day.
Dew can also form inside this unit in a similar manner
in the following cases:
•Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
•When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm place.
If dew forms inside this unit, it may not operate
properly. To correct this problem, turn on the opera
tion and wait about 1 hour for the dew to go away.
■ Cleaning of tape heads
The head assembly, capstans, and pinch rollers are in
constant contact with the tape. If these parts are dirty, the
sound quality will be impaired. Get into the habit of cleaning
the parts regularly (after every 10 hours or so of use) in
accordance with the procedure outlined below.
1. Press the operation switch to turn off the unit.
2. Open the cassette compartment covers by pressing the
stop/eject buttons.
3. Clean them with a cotton swab.
Notes:
• If the heads are extremely dirty, clean them with a
cotton swab dampened with a little alcohol.
•Do not bring any type of mental objects or tools
such as magnetic screwdrivers in contact with the
head assembly.
•Do not clean the plastic cabinet with benzine or
thinner. Clean it with a solution of soap and water.
•Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some insecticides
contain chemicals that could cause cabinet defonnation.
