have received the following supplied accessories:
• Remote control unit
• AA/R6P batteries (x2)
• FM wire antenna
• AM loop antenna
• AC power cord
• These operating instructions
• Warranty Card
Using this manual
This manual is for the X-NM1/X-NM10 compact mini
component. It is split into three sections: setting up
(chapters 1 and 2); using the system (chapters 3 to 8),
and additional information (chapter 9). This last
chapter contains care information for the unit and discs,
a troubleshooting section and specifications.
• Make sure not to damage the controller by inserting
the battery holder incorrectly (check the diagram
above).
• Make sure that the plus and minus sides of the
battery match the indications on the battery
compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to
be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
instruction’s rules that apply in your country or area.
H048 En
• Keep the lithium battery out of reach of children.
• If somebody swallows the lithium battery, immediately call your doctor.

Keep in mind the following when using the remote
control:
• Make sure that nothing is blocking the remote sensor
on the unit.
• Remote operation may become unreliable if direct
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the
remote sensor. Make sure you place the unit in a
suitable location.
1Before you start
• Remotes for different devices can interfere with each
other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment
located nearby this unit.
• Replace the battery when you notice a fall off in the
operating range of the remote.
Finding a suitable location
We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the following
points when choosing a suitable location for the system
components and speakers:
Do...
✔ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✔ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,
shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heatgenerating appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where any of
the components or speakers will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of any appliance which becomes
hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the television
uses an indoor antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the unit may
be exposed to smoke or steam.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit’s feet, or the
whole footprint of each speaker.
✗ Block the cooling vents on the rear and top side of
the unit. Don’t cover the unit with cloth, or use on
thick carpet, etc.
✗ Put objects above or on top of the system or speakers.
Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought
into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of
the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t
damage the unit, it may temporarily impair its
performance. For this reason you should leave it to
adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour
before switching on and using.
Proper ventilation for the unit
When installing, make sure to leave space around the
unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least
30 cm at top, 30 cm at
rear, and 30 cm at
each side). If there
isn’t enough space
between the unit and
walls or other
equipment, heat will
build up inside,
interfering with
performance or
causing malfunctions.
For this reason, don’t place the unit on a thick carpet,
bed, sofa, or a pile of fabric. Also make sure not to cover
the unit with fabric or any other covering. Anything that
blocks ventilation will cause internal temperature to
rise, which may lead to breakdown or a fire hazard.
Discs compatible with this system
Any disc that displays the following logo should play in
this system. Other discs (such as CD-ROMs) will not play
in this unit.
Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8cm (5" or 3")
discs. Linear PCM digital audio.

Connecting up2
Connecting the system
Before making or changing any rear panel connections,
make sure that all the components are switched off and
unplugged from the power supply.
FM wire antenna
Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other
amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
These speakers are magnetically shielded, however, color
distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed
extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this
happens, turn off the television set, then turn it on after
15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, place the
speaker system away from the television set.
About antenna connections:
The antenna terminal ground symbols
(H) indicate only that the terminals have
been designed to reduce noise when
antennas are connected; they are not
safety grounds.
Connect the power cord only
after completing all other
connections.

2Connecting up
Connecting the speakers
Use the supplied speaker cords to connect the speakers to
the amplifier. To get the best sound from the system, it’s
important that you connect the two strands of speaker
cord for each speaker to the correct speaker terminal.
The terminals and cords are color-coded to help you
match them up.
Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each
other, or come into contact with other metal parts once
the unit is switched on.
To connect a speaker cord to a
terminal
1 Pull off the protective covers on the ends
of each cord, then twist the exposed wire
strands together.
2 Push the tab to open, then insert the
twisted wire fully into the terminal.
Insert the wire with the blue stripe into the red (ª)
terminal and the other wire into the black (·)
terminal.
English
3 Release the tab to secure the speaker
cord.
Tug the wire lightly to make sure it’s secure.

Connecting up2
Connecting the radio antennas
Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to
listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find
that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna
should give you better sound quality—see Connecting
external antennas below for more on how to do this.
Before making or changing antenna connections, make
sure that the power is switched off and the unit
disconnected from the wall power outlet.
1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM
antenna wires.
2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire
fully into each terminal.
3 Release the tabs to secure the AM
antenna wires.
4 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached
stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction
indicated by the arrow (fig. A) then clip the loop onto
the stand (fig. B).
Note
If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other
surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. C) before
clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is
clear.
5 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface
and point in the direction giving the best
reception.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other
electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact
with metal objects.
6 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same
way as the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a
wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled
up. You can use thumbtacks to hold the antenna arms
extended widely.
The supplied FM antenna is a simple means of receiving
FM stations; using a dedicated, outdoor FM antenna will
usually give you better reception and sound quality. See
Connecting external antennas on the next page for
connection details.

Manually saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's
convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for
easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station.
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time.
This system can save up to 24 station presets. When
saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono
setting (see page 15).

Using RDS
Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a
system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners
with various information—the name of the station and
what kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example.
RDS allows you to search through stations
automatically using this information. It shows up as
text on the display, and you can switch between the type
of information shown. Although you don’t get RDS
information from all FM radio stations, you do with
most.
This unit lets you display three different kinds of RDS
information: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and
Program Type.
Radio Text (RT) is a message sent by the radio station.
It can be anything the broadcaster chooses—a talk
radio station might give out its telephone number as RT,
for example.
Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the radio
station.
Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of program
currently being broadcast.
