LASER PRODUCT

HANDLING CHIP COMPONENTS

All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set via a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools at this potential.

f ATTENTION

Tous les IC et beaucoup d´autres semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévite pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu´aucune précaution nést prise à leur manipulation. Lors de réparations, s´assurer de bien être relié au même potentiel que la masse de l´appareil et enfileer le bracelet serti d´une résistance de sécurité. Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l´on utilise soient également à ce potentiel.

d WARNUNG

Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen Entladungen (ESD). Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kann die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren. Sorgen Sie dafür, daß Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Puls- armband mit Widerstand mit dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden sind. Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls auf diesem Potential.

ñ WAARSCHUWING

Alle IC´s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen (ESD). Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur drastisch doen vermindern. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat. Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.

i AVVERTIMENTO

Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD). La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione. Durante le riparationi occorre quindi essere collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa delápparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza. Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.

©

Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition and that parts which are identical with those specified be used. Safety components are marked by the symbol

i

Le norme di sicurezza estigono che l´apparecchio venga rimesso nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati i pezzi di ricambiago identici a quelli specificati. Componenty di sicurezza sono marcati con

ñ

Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkeliijke toestand wordt teruggebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de gespecificeerde, worden toegepast. De Veiligheidsonderdelen zijn aangeduid met het symbool

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation when open.

©

After servicing and before returning the set to customer perform a leakage current measurement test from all  exposed metal parts to earth ground, to assure no shock hazard exists. The leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA.

AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM.

LANGUAGE LEARNING

This set features language learning functions based on CD, MP3-CD and tape playback modes.

To select your desired playback source, please adjust the source selector to TAPE, FM,MW or CD-PM3.

When the set is start for the ﬁrst time, the set is in the music mode.

In this case, you can play CD, MP3-CD or tape.

Note : - CD playback is not in the compressed playback mode,

therefore the sound quality is not affected, but the language

learning function is not activated.

•

Press and hold MODE, and LANG ON and MANU are displayed.

The language learning function is activated.

Notes : - In the language leaning mode, you can press MODEto toggle between manual and auto.

- To provide the 120-second repeat function in the CD playback mode, all the data in the CD

will be ﬁrst compressed and stored in the SD RAM for subsequent playback, therefore the

sound quality might be slightly affected.

- Once in the language learning mode, LANG ON will

disappear and MANU will remain ﬂashing.

•

Press and hold MODE again and LANG OFF is displayed.

The language learning function is deactivated.

Both LANG ON and MANU disappear.

In the language learning mode, the contents played will be automatically stored in a Synchronous

Dynamic Random Access Memory (SD RAM).

The storage periods are different according to different playback sources:

Notes : - For MP3-CDs of different bit rates, the storage periods may also be different.A smaller bit rate

implies longer storage time.A greater bit rate implies shorter storage time. (64bps = 960

seconds, 320bps = 240 seconds).

- When the SD RAM is full, the latest contents will overwrite the older data in the principle of

"First -in and ﬁrst-out".
