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 CD button and the 2 button, press

the ON/STAND-BY button until "CLEAR" 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 discs from the unit. Make sure there is no disc 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.

Maintenance

" 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 malfunc-

tions.

" 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.
