Cooling fan: (FOR CD-MPX500W ONLY)

The main unit is built with a cooling fan at the rear of the unit for
improved cooling. Please do not cover the opening of the fan with
any obstacles, as this will block proper ventilation.

The first time the unit is plugged in, the
unit will enter the demonstration mode.
You will see words scroll.

To cancel the demonstration mode:

When the unit is in the power
stand-by mode (demonstration
mode), press the X-BASS/DEMO
button. The unit will enter the low
power consumption mode.

To return to the demonstration mode:

When the unit is in the power stand-by mode, press the

Preparation for Use

 Setting the AC voltage selector

Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear
panel before plugging the unit into the wall socket. If necessary,
adjust the selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in
your area.

Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate
voltage number appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220V or
230 V-240 V AC).

 Connecting the AC power lead

After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug
the AC power lead of this unit into the wall socket. If you plug the unit
first, the unit will enter the demonstration mode (see page 9).

Notes:

 The unit will start the tape initialisation when plugged into the wall

socket. During this process, initialising sound will be heard and
the unit cannot be turned on. Wait until the process is finished.

 Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not

be in use for a prolonged period of time.

AC Plug Adaptor

In areas (or countries) where the wall socket as shown in illustration
2 is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with
the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas
where the and wall socket and AC power plug can be directly
connected (see illustration 1).

 Setting the FM/AM span selector

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established
that member countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz
interval between broadcasting frequencies of FM stations and 10
kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz
zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear
panel) to the interval (span) of your area.

To change the tuning zone:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

in sound quality.

 This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3, MPEG 2 Layer 3, and

VBR files.

 During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ

from its actual playback time.

 Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

WMA:
WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio
files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec.
WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for
Windows Media Player.

 If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.

If such problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and

plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.

 Clearing all the memory (reset)

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by

mode.

2 Whilst pressing down the button and the button, press the

TUNER (BAND) button until “CLEAR ALL” appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.

 Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit
with discs left inside can damage the unit.

 Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD
collection and player.
 Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label

side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

 Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive

moisture.

 Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the centre, along the radius.

Maintenance

 Cleaning the tape-handling parts

 Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with

commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

 When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which

contains high voltages.

 After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become

magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once

every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial

tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions

carefully before use.

 Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

 Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet finish.

 Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause

malfunctions.
