Special notes
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable
(moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, a BSI or AST A approved BS 1362 fuse marked
and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on
the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use
the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being
compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit
an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off
plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may
occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
Important Instruction
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug
terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to
the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
or
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as
that removed from the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead
and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

! 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 a 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 X-BASS/DEMO but-
ton, press the PRESET 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.

! Cleaning the tape-handling parts
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

! Cleaning the CD pickup lens
Poor performance during CD playback (skipping or jumping) can be
caused by a dirty or contaminated CD laser pick up lens. If this happens then the use of a commercially available CD lens cleaning
discs may restore normal operation. Contact your supplier or local
CD software dealer to obtain CD lens cleaning discs. Ensure all
included instructions/documentation are carefully followed.
