Suggestions for Safety

■Use a standard AC wait outlet

1.Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

There is the possibility that a fire might be caused by making 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 suppiy 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, and never 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 or reconstruct this unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, disassembled 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 extrerrrely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a Hre 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 cabiriet 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 will not only shorten its useful operation life, but may also cause other troubles.

■ If trouble occurs

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

Before Use

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 toe unit will be used.

(If the power supply in your area is 117 V or 120 V, set to the "110-127 V" position.)

Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector tor some countries; the correct voltage is already set.)

THIS TUNER/RECEIVER IS CAPABLE OF RECEIVING THE NEW AM STEREO BROADCASTS FROM THE AM BAND RADIO STATIONS. HOWEVER LIKE MANY TUNERS AND RECEIVERS CURRENTLY 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 TUNER/RECEIVER.

Remote-Control Transmitter

I Insertion of remote-control transmitter batteries

1.Open the cover.

2.fnMrt the batteries.

•Be sure to insert according to the

(+)and (-) indications in the battery compartment.

•Use two UM-4 "AAA" (R03 1.5 V) size batteries.

3. Close the cover.

■ Battery IHe

Battery life is about one year. (Battery life may vary depending upon the frequency of use and other conditions of use.)

The batteries should be replaced if the unit cannot be operated even when the remotecontrol transmitter is brought close to the unit.

■ Battery notes

•Be sure that batteries are inserted so that ttiey are placed correctly with respect to the

(+) and (-) indications in the battery com­ partment. If the batteries are not inserted correctly, they may leak and damage the remote-control transmitter.

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

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

•if the remote-control transmitter is not to be used for a long period of time, take out the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

•ReiTKJve and dispose of vrom-out batteries. •Never attempt to recharge or short-circuit the

batteries, and do not disassemble them or expose them to excessive heat or throw them into a fire.

•If a battery leaks, remove both batteries and dispose of them, and then thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inserting new batteries.
