THIS MUSIC SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF RE CEIVING THE NEW AM STEREO BROADCASTS

FROM THE AM BAND RADIO STATIONS. HOWEVER LIKE MANY MUSIC SYSTEM CUR RENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET IT WILL REPRODUCE THIS AM STEREO SIGNAL ONLY IN AM MONO, WHICH, IN EFFECT, IS OF NO LESSER QUALITY THAN YOUR EXISTING AM MONO MUSIC SYSTEM.

Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that

used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

A fire might be caused by such a connection.

2. A DC power source cannot be used.

Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.

■ Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply cord

1. Wet hands are dangerous.

A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands.

2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord,

nor force it to bend sharply.

■ Place the unit where it will be well ventilated

Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc.

■ Avoid places such as the following:

In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity.

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

■ Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface

If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.

■ Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, dis assembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the

internal parts are accidentally touched.

■ Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.

■ If water Is spilled on the unit

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

■ Avoid spray-type insecticides

Insecticides might cause cracks or "cloudiness" in the cabinet and

plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might,

moreover, be ignited suddenly.

■ Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they

might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

■ Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this not only will shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble.

■ If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, imme diately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

For United Kingdom

("EB” area code model only)

The "EB" indication is shown on the serial number tag.

Important

THE WIRES IN THIS MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCOR DANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE. BLUE: NEUTRAL BROWN: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Under no circumstances must either of the above wires be con nected to the earth terminal of a three pin plug.

Concerning the Remote Control

Battery installation

1 open the cover

Press gently and slide the cover out.

Insert the batteries included with this system.

•When you need to replace these batteries, use two UM-4 ‘‘AAA’’, lEC R03 (1.5 V) or equivalent batteries.

Use of batteries

• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types (carbon and alkaline, etc.).

•The average battery life is about one year. Although the battery life varies depending on how often the device is used, you should generally replace the batteries about once a year.

•Replace the batteries if commands from the remote control trans mitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to the front panel.

•Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

•If you will not be using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

Operation notes

•Be sure that you insert the batteries so that their positive (+) and negative (-) polarities match the polarities indicated in the compartment. Batteries installed incorrectly may leak and cause damage.

• Refer to “Use of batteries” for additional information,

Close the cover.

•If a battery teaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them prop erly. Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inserting new batteries. If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush with water immediately.

•Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

• Do not use rechargeable-type (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

•Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries.

•Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and

dispose of them properly.

• Do not dispose of used batteries in household rubbish.

Aim the remote control transmission window toward the amplifier's sensor. Avoid any obstacles.

• Use the remote control within a 60-degree angle of the amplifier.

•The reachable distance is within 6 meters directly facing toward the amplifier.

•Be sure the transmission window and the amplifier's sensor are free from dust. Excessive dust might prevent reception.

• If direct sunlight or other strong light source strikes the remote control signal sensor part of the amplifier, it may impair the remote control’s operation. If there is a problem, place the amplifier away from the light source.

• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass

doors' thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote-control transmitter a shorter distance from the system.

■ About the Dolby Noise Reduction system

Using Dolby NR reduces tape hiss in the high-frequency range. It

boosts the level of the high-frequency program content during re cording, and lowers it by the same amount during playback, simul taneously reducing high-frequency noise incurred during the

recording process. This system has the Dolby 8-type of noise-reduction system. With

Dolby B, noise is reduced to about one-third. If you are playing a

tape that was recorded with Dolby NR, use the Dolby NR mode

during playback.

Care & Use

Maintenance

(continued)

■ Cassette deck head care

To ensure good sound quality for recording and playback, be sure to clean the heads approximately every 10 hours of use.

1) Turn off the power of the system.

2) Press the eject button to open the cassette holder.

3) Clean the heads, pinch roller, and the capstan shaft with a cotton swab (or with a soft, lint-free cloth) slightly moistened with iso propyl alcohol. Do not use any solution other than alcohol for head cleaning.

■ Cassette deck head demagnetization

•In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and playback, we recommend that you demagnetize the head assem bly when there is still distortion or poor sound quality after you have cleaned the heads.

•If the head assembly becomes magnetized, it could create noise in your recordings, cause a loss of high-frequency response, or cause the erasure of valuable recordings. There are several types of head demagnetizers that you can purchase at local electronics supply stores. Follow the instructions that are supplied with the demagnetizer.

• Do not touch the head assembly with any type of metal object or tool such as a magnetic screwdriver.

■ Maintenance of external surfaces

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cabinet and controis. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth, dipped in a soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution. Wring the cloth well before wiping the surfaces. Then wipe once again with a soft, dry cloth.

•Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated cloth to clean the cabinet or controls. Such chemicals may dam age the finish of your system.
