2, Replace the fuse and attach the fuse cover.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

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

appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro

ceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

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. Be careful that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

■ 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 fiat, 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.

Before Use

(For areas except Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand)

Be sure to disconnect the mains cord before adjusting the voltage selector. Use a minus (-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector (on the rear panel) to the voltage setting for the area in which the unit will be used.

■ If trouble occurs

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

(If the power supply in your area is 117 V or 120 V, set to the "127 V" position.) Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector for some countries; the correct voltage is already set.)

Concerning the Remote Control

Battery installation

1 Open the cover.

Press gently and slide the cover out.

2 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 C+) 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.

3 Close the cover.

• If a battery leaks, 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.

Amplifier

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

Amplifier

7 meters

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

•The reachable distance is within 7 meters directly facing toward the amplifier.

Amplifier

Avoid dust

• 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 tight 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.

Care & Use

I Concerning Cassette Tapes"

■ Selection of cassette tapes

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.

Do not use the following types of tapes in this unit:

Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE III)

This type emphasizes the high-frequency range, making it impossi

ble to obtain a flat frequency response.

Metal tape without detection holes In the cassette

Recordings will be very distorted. (There is no problem during playback, however.)

■ To prevent erasure of a recorded tape

Remove the erase-prevention tabs (thus preventing recording).

■ Improper tape storage

You can damage tape if you store it in the following ways:

•In high temperature [35°C (95“F) or higher] or high humidity (80% or higher) areas.

• In a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc.).

This can erase a recording.

• In direct sunlight.

To re-record on a protected cassette

Cover the slot with adhesive tape.

■ Tape slack

Tape slack may cause the tape to break.

Care & Use

I Concerning Compact Discs

(continued)

With this system, you can only use compact- incOMW^ discs having this mark: fn iRi

DIGITAL AUDIO

■ Handling precautions

•To open the compact disc case, gently press the sides of the top, holding the top at both sides and pull up. To remove the disc from the case, press the center holder and lift the disc, holding it by the edges.

•To return the disc to the case, insert the disc with label facing up and press downward at the center.

• Hold compact discs by the edges so you will not soil the surface with fingerprints. Fingerprints, dirt, and scratches can cause skip

ping and distortion.

• If you are taking the disc from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument.

■ 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) Humid or dusty locations.

3) Locations directly exposed to a heat vent or heating appliance.

4) In the glove compartment or rear deck of an automobile.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static elec tricity prevention liquids, or any other solvent.

• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp {water only) cloth.

•Always move the cloth directly outward from the center of the disc, not in a circular motion as with standard phonograph records.

Maintenance

■ 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 controls. 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.
