Connections and Operations When Used Alone
Normally, use the unit connected to the HTC-W555 as follows.
Basically, when servicing the unit, connect the unit as follows.
UNIT
SYSTEM CONTROL 17P
AC IN
Even when not connected to the HTC-W555, the unit can operate alone as it mounts a power supply (some functions will however not be
available).
MC Cold Reset
• The cold reset clears all data including preset data stored in the RAM to initial conditions. Execute this mode when returning the set to the
customer.
Procedure:
1.Press three buttons EDIT , ENTER/NEXT , and DISPLAY/DEMO simultaneously.
2.The fluorescent indicator tube becomes blink instantaneously, and the set is reset.
CD Delivery Mode (This mode can be used only when the HTC-W555 is connected.)
• This mode moves the pick-up to the position durable to vibration. Use this mode when returning the set to the customer after repair.
Procedure:
1.Press 1/u button to turn the set ON.
2.Press LOOP button and 1/u button simultaneously.
3.A message “LOCK” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, and the CD delivery mode is set.

• This mode resets the set with the preset data kept stored in the memory. The hot reset mode functions same as if the power cord is plugged
in and out.
Procedure:
1.Press three buttons REPEAT , ENTER/NEXT , and DISPLAY/DEMO simultaneously.
2.The fluorescent indicator tube becomes blink instantaneously, and the set is reset.
HTC-W555

• This mode can run the CD sled motor freely. Use this mode, for instance, when cleaning the pick-up.
Procedure:
1.Select the function “CD”.
2.Press three buttons FLASH , ENTER/NEXT , and KARAOKE PON/MIX simultaneously.
3.The Sled Servo mode is selected, if “CD” is blinking on the fluorescent indicator tube.
4.With the CD in stop status, press ) + button move the pick-up to outside track, or – 0 button to inside track.
5.To exit from this mode, perform as follows:

• The FUNCTION name of external input terminal can be changed over to VIDEO 1 or MD. With the FUNCTION selected to “MD”, about
5dB mute is applied to the input gain.
Procedure:
1.Press 1/u button to turn the set OFF.
2.Press 1/u button together with FUNCTION button, and the power is turned on, the display of fluorescent indicator tube changes to
“MD” or “VIDEO 1” instantaneously, and thus the FUNCTION is changed over.
Change-over of AM Tuner Step between 9kHz and 10kHz
• A step of AM channels can be changed over between 9kHz and 10kHz.
Procedure:
1.Press 1/u button to turn the set ON.
2.Select the function “TUNER”, and press TUNER/BAND button to select the BAND “MW”.

CD, TAPE Deck Aging Mode (This mode can be used only when the HTC-W555 is connected.)
This mode can be used for checking the operations of the CD player and tape deck.
• When problems occur;
Aging stops, and the stopped state is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.
• When no problems;
Aging continues.
Preparations:
• Set the CD on the DISC1 tray.
• Insert a commercially available tape for recording (tapes which contents can be erased, etc.) in decks A and B.
Setting the aging mode:
Press the PLAY MODE button, ENTER/NEXT button, and STEREO/MONO button together.
When the aging mode is set, the CD roulette mark blinks. To exit the mode, press the 1/u button and turn OFF the power.
Sequence:
The aging mode is executed in the following sequence.
If the function is set to “CD” when the aging mode is set, aging is performed starting from the CD player. When set to “TAPE A” or “TAPE
B”, aging is started from deck A.
If the function is set to others, aging will not be started until the function is switched to CD or TAPE.
Aging of CD player (12 minutes)
Aging of deck A
Aging of deck B

Display of status:
• The aging status is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.
• Normally, the CD player displays the remaining aging time. But if operations ended abnormally, it displays the cause.
• During the aging of the tape deck, the operations performed will be displayed. If operations ended abnormally, this will be displayed at the
fluorescent display tube.
