additional information along with the regular
programme signal.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they all provide the same types of services. If you
are not familiar with the RDS system, check with
your local radio stations for details on RDS
services in your area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts

Precautions
On safety
• The system is not disconnected from the mains as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the system itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not
to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• The mains lead must be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
• When you connect the mains lead to mains, even
though the power is off, the system begins
charging for remote and timer functions.
Therefore the surface of this unit becomes warm,
this is normal.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage,
power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.
On placement
• Make sure the system fan is on during use.
Place the system in a location with adequate air
circulation, and do not place anything on the
system.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build up.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight.
On installing
When you move the system, remove the CD.
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the
system turned on for about 2 hours until the
moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and
can be used near TV sets. However, the picture on
certain TV sets may become magnetically
distorted.In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio
racks, TV stands and toys. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Notes on CDs
• Do not use a CD with tape, stickers, or paste on it
as this may damage the player.
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use
solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for
vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
