IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
15 Outdoor Ant enna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and suppor ting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
Important Instruction
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
4
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
18
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
19
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
20 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21 Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
22 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
23 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this prod-
uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.

for MPEG Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant
compression from the original audio source with very little loss
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.
WMA:
WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio
files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec.

To playback MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) file
There are many music sites on the internet that you can download
MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files. Follow the
instructions from the website on how to download the music files.
You can then playback these downloaded music files by burning

About folder playback order
If MP3/WMA files are recorded in several folders, a folder number will
be set to each folder automatically.
These folders can be selected by the FOLDER button on the remote
control. If there is no supported file formats inside the selected folder,
the folder is skipped and the next folder will be selected.
Example: How to set folder number if MP3/WMA format files are
recorded as below figure.
1. ROOT folder is set as folder 1.
2. As for folders inside ROOT folder (Folder A and Folder B), the
folder which is recorded earlier on the disc will be set as folder 2.
3. As for folder inside Folder A (Folder C and Folder D), folder which
is recorded earlier in disc order information will be set as folder
3.
4. Because there is no folder in Folder C, Folder D will be set as
folder 4.
5. Folder E that is inside Folder D will be set as folder 5.
6. Folder B inside ROOT folder will be set as folder 6.

Tuner
Symptom Possible cause
The radio makes unusual
noises continuously.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter
with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
Is the AC power cord of the unit
plugged in?
Is the battery polarity correct?
Are the batteries dead?
Is the distance or angle
incorrect?
Does the remote control sensor
receive strong light?
Is the unit placed near the TV or
computer?
Is the FM antenna or AM loop
antenna placed properly? Move
the antenna away from the AC
power cord if it's located nearby.
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 While pressing down the 1 button and the 5 button, press
the POWER ON/STANDBY button until "CLEAR ALL" appears.

Maintenance
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 center, along the radius.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be
performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available.
Contact your local CD software dealer for options.
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 (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause
malfunctions.
