Setting/Removing discs

Special notes

•You can set discs in the rack and remove them too, while piaying discs.

•Never set a disc in the slot of the disc being played.

• Sometimes the rack panel cannot be opened while a disc is playing. It is a question of time. In such case, wait until you can open it.

• Do not open the rack panel while the changer is changing discs.

How to set discs

1. Open the rack panel.

Except when setting or removing discs, keep hands out of the

changer while open. You could injure yourself if somehow entangled

in the interna! mechanism.

2. Slide the loader carriage to the slot you want. You can read the numbers between the prongs

4. Close gently the rack panel.

You will hear a catching sound when the rack panel closes.

How to remove discs

• Do not put anything other than discs in the changer.

•Do not set a disc in the slot of the disc being played (slot flashes). The disc in play is returned to its slot when finished. If the two discs somehow jam the slot, one or both could be damaged. When this happens, the message ‘TAKE OUF will appear on the display. Remove the disc that doesn't belong in the slot and close the rack panel.

• Set discs with the label facing to the right.

• Never load more than one disc in any given slot.

Label side

How to know what disc in what slot

Your changer comes with a notebook-like binder (liner notes orga nizer) in which you can keep your CD liners. There are also adhesive numbers for Indicating slot numbers in the binder. This is a conve nient way to keep track of what disc is in what slot.

Pocket

Put two liners back-to-back inside each pocket, as shown above.

Do not put CD cases in the binder.

CDs playback modes

With this CD changer, you can playback CDs in the following

2 modes.

•Block mode...Normal sequential playback (page 13).

• Group mode...Only CDs registered in the selected group are played back (page 15).

When “ appears on the display

It indicates there are 16 or more tracks on the disc at the playing position.

When “NO DISC” appears on the display

It indicates there is no disc set in the slot.

For your reference

If you leave the front panel open while a disc is in play, when the disc is over, the changer will stop.

Convenient way to use the GROUP FILE buttons A-F

The changer automatically divides the CD rack up into 6 blocks as shown below.

DISC SLOT BLOCK

One way to organize yourself would be to arrange the blocks by band or solo artist. Within each block, you could then set the discs in chronological order from the earliest you have until the band’s (artist's) most recent, in sequential play, discs will be played in the set order.

About Dolby Noise Reduction system

Using Dolby NR reduces tape hiss in the high-frequency range. It boosts the level of the high-frequency during recording, and lowers it by the same amount during playback, simultaneously reducing highfrequency Interference incurred during the recording process.

Noise is reduced to about one-third. Use this system when playing back tapes recorded by the Dolby-B

noise-reduction system, such as prerecorded music tapes, etc.

label

If the surface is soiled

Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.

(Correct) (Incorrect)

If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm

environment, moisture may form on the disc

Wipe this moisture off with a solft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

Improper disc storage:

You can damage discs if you store them in the following places;

•Areas exposed to direct sunlight

•Humid or dusty areas

•Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance

Handling precautions:

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

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electric ity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

•Do not soil with fingerprints.

Concerning cassette tapes

Maintenance

Selection of cassette tapes

Cassette tapes of 100 minutes or longer:

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 deck mechanism.

Endless^apes

Failure to operate these tapes correctly may cause the tape to wind

around the revolving parts.

For this unit, it is recommended to use the tape which is appropriate

to the auto reverse mechanism.

Tape slack

Tape stack may cause the tape to break.

Maintenance of external surfaces

To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth.

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 weli before wiping the unit. Wipe once again with a soft, dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or chemically treated cloths to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage the finish of your system.

Tape head care

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

1. Press ^ OPEN to open the cassette holder.

2. Press POWER to put your stereo on standby.

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

Remove the tab(s).

To re-record on a protected cassette

Cover the slot with adhesive tape.

Tape storage

Tapes can be damaged if stored in places such as those described below.

•Where the temperature is high (35®C or higher) or where the humid ity is high (80% or higher)

•Where there is a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc.). Recording may become erased.

• In direct sunlight

* •

Placement

Foreign materials

Avoid placing the unit in areas of:

•direct sunlight

• high temperature

• high humidity

• excessive vibration

• uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.) Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life. To protect the unit against sound distortion and acoustical effects, please place the unit at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces etc.

Ventilation

• Place the unit in a well-ventilated position at least 10 cm away from wall surfaces etc.

• Ensure that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the venti

lation holes.

Stacking

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.

Voltage

• It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage

such as for an air conditioner. A fire might be caused by such a connection.

•A DC power source can not be used.

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

Power cord protection

•Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdriv ers etc., accidentally fall into the unit or through the ventilation

holes.

Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.

• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could gccur. (Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if

this occurs.)

•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable gases which can be ignited.

• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.

Service

• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary

measure.

• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.

• Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.

•

Cautions on moving your stereo

Before moving your stereo to another location, be sure to remove all discs from the rack and turn off the stereo. The changer mechanism automatically locks when the unit is turned off, to protect it against damage in transport. Therefore, always press POWER and make sure “GOOD BYE" appears on the display before you unplug the stereo.

Failure to do so will expose the compact discs and the stereo

to the risk of severe damage.

•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC main cord, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

Excessive bending, putting or slicing of the cord should also be

avoided.

•Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power supply.

•Never touch tiie plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.
