Caution: To enjoy images on a TV, make sure to select the right items

for the following four: video cable, TV's video input socket, and this unit's video output socket and video output mode. Otherwise, images do not appear properly.

What is progressive scanning?

The conventional TV system displays 30 frames of still images per second to complete sequential movement (interlaced scanning). Whereas, progressive scanning displays one frame every 1/60th of a second (60 frames per second) to realise less-flicker, high-density images.

(use a video cable, S-video cable, or component video cable).

Select this for a progressive scan TV

Notes:

Change the TV input in accordance with the connected socket.

Do not connect other equipment (VCR, etc.) between the TV and

Insert the plugs fully to avoid fuzzy pictures or noise.

Compatibility of the progressive scan TV

Some progressive scan TVs are not fully compatible with this product, which may cause image distortion. In this case, switch the video mode from "Progressive" to "Interlace".

Connecting to a TV with an S-video input socket:

If your TV is equipped with an S-video input socket, you can enjoy higher quality images by connecti ng it with an S-video cable (not supplied).

 Setting the AM/FM interval

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 10 kH z or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).

This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, the tuning interval is set to SPAN 1 [10 kHz AM interval (100 kHz FM interval)] when shipped from the factory. Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in your area.

To check the tuning span currently selected:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

Press the TUNER (BAND) button until "AM" appears on the display.

If "AM 531 kHz" is displayed, it means that AM stations have

been adjusted for a 9 kHz span and FM stations for 50 kHz span. If "AM 530 kHz" is displayed, AM stations have been adjusted for a 10 kHz span and FM stations for 100 kHz span.

To change the AM/FM tuning interval:

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

mode.

2 Whilst holding down the TUNER (BAND) button and the button,

press the ON/STAND-BY button. "SPAN SELECT" flashes.

3 Within 10 seconds, press the TUNER

(BAND) button. The current setting appears.

4 Within 3 seconds, hold down the TUNER (BAND) button. "SPAN

1" and "SPAN 2" appear alternately. Release the button whilst the interval (span) in your area appears. For 10 kHz AM (100 kHz FM) interval: SPAN 1

For 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval: SPAN 2

The setting appears for 3 seconds and the unit enters the

stand-by mode. To start over, press the TUNER (BAND) button whilst the set-

ting appears, and repeat step 4.

Caution:

When the unit is left for a few hours after the span is switched

and the AC power lead is disconnected, the AM span automatically returns to SPAN 1 [10 kHz (FM span to 100 kHz)]. If this happens, set the span again. When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be

cancelled.

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 each component. It may

cause malfunctions. Since the disc insertion slot fac-

es upward, dust may accumulate on it. Clean it with a cotton swab, etc.

 Care of discs

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 disc 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 discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

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