Polarization– As a safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one
way into apower outlet. If it isdifficult or impossible to insert the
AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again.
If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a
qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To
avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC
power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, asthis could
result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent,
pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
Extension cord – To help prevent electric shock, do not use a
4
polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the AC cord
The rated voltage of your system shown on the bottom of the
tuner/amplifier unit is 120 V AC. Check that the rated voltage
matches your local voltage.
IMPORTANT
● Connect the speakers, antennas, and all optional equipment
first. Then connect the AC cord.
● There are no differences between the front speakers. Both
speakers can be connected as L (Left) or R (Right).
1 Place the CD/tapeunit on top of the tuner/
amplifierunit and plug in the connectorof the
flat cable as shown below.
Note that the connector can be plugged in in only one direction
with the flat cable facing left.

2 Connect the speaker cords to the speakers.
Connect the cords with the white stripes to @ terminals and
the other cords to @ terminals.
3 Connect the speaker cords to the tuner/amplifier
unit.
The cords with the white stripes should be connected to the
terminals and the other cords to the 0 terminals.

Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.
Do not short-circuit the 0 and 0 speaker cord leads; otherwise
the sound may become inaudible or the system may be turned
off. if this happens, disconnect the AC cord from the AC outlet
and re-connect the speaker cords correctly. Connect then the
AC cord and turn the system on again.
CONCERNINGTHE DISPLAY WINDOW’S
DEMO DISPLAY
When the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet for the
first time after purchase, a demo display will appear in the display
window. When the power is turned on, the demo display will
end. When the power is turned off, the demo display will appear
again.Until the clock is set, the demo display will appear
whenever the power is turned off. (For setting the clock, see
page 7.)
When the clock is set
The demo display can be seen by pressing the MODE button
while pressing the SHIFT button on the remote control. This
button is used also to dim the display and to set the system in
the power economizingmode.See page 7 for detailed
explanation.
PLACING THE TWO UNITS SIDE BY SIDE
You may also place the CD/tape and the tuner/amplifier units
side by side according to your preference.
In this case, make sure that the flat cable does not obstruct the
ventilation openings, as shown below.
Always leave adequate clearance between the flat cable and the
ventilation openings.

● Do not connect any speakers to the system other than the
supplied ones.
● Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.
● Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
● Do not bring the AM antenna near other optional equipment,
the stereo system itself, the AC cord or speaker cords, since
noise will be picked up.
● Do not unwind the AM antenna wire.

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)JACK
This system can output CD digital sound signals through this
jack. Use an optical cable to connect digital audio equipment
(digital amplifier, DAT deck, MD recorder, etc.).
Remove the dust cap @ from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.
Then, connect an optical cable plug to the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) jack.
m
When recording the CD digital sound of this system using an
external digital equipment such as an MD recorder connected to
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, proceed as follows to prevent
the beginning of the sound to be recorded from being cut.

Occasional care and maintenance of the system and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your system.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution,Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the system.
To clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with
a commercially available head cleaning cassette.
Care of the system
● Do not give the system a strong shock i.e., drop or hit,
● Do not use the system close to a strong magnetic field such as
a television. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
Care of CDs
● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
Care of tapes
● Store tapes in their cases after use.
● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality
and cause noise.
● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
