Water and moisture – Do not use this unit near water, such as

near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

Heat – Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41 “F) or greater than 35-C (95-F).

Mounting surface – Place the unit on a flat, even surface. Ventilation – The unit should be situated with adequate space

around itso that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, orsimilarsurface that may

block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack

where ventilation may be impeded.

Objects and liquid entry –Take care that objects or liquids do

not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

Carts and stands – When placed or

mounted on a stand or cart, the unit

should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and un-

even surfaces may cause the unit or

cart to overturn or fall.

A&*

7 Condensation – Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

Wall or ceiling mounting–The unit should not be mounted on

a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

Electric Power

Power sources –

Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

Polarization - As a safetv feature, some units are equipped

with polarized AC power p(ugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult orimpossibleto insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. i If it still does not easily inserf 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 force it into a power outlet. AC

power cord

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, asthiscould

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 cored – To help prevent electric shock, do not use

a 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.

When not in use – Urmlua the AC power cord from the AC

outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

Power lines - When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines.

Outdoor antenna grounding – Be sure the antenna system is

properly grounded-to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, AN S1/NFPA 70, provides information on proper graunding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals.

CONNECTIONS

Before connecting the AC cord

The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel 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 in the end.

● There are no differences between the front speakers. Both

speakers can be connected as L (Left) or R (Right).

1 Connect the speaker cords to the main unit.

The cords with the white stripes should be connected to the

~ terminals and the other cords to the O terminals.

2 Connect the supplied antennas.

Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75 Q terminals and the AM antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.

3 Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.

When the AC cord is connected for the first time, the display window demonstrates the functions of the unit. When the power is turned on, the demonstration display is overridden by the operation display. When the power is turned off, the demonstration mode is restored.

To cancel the demonstration

Press the DEMO button or turn the MULTI JOG dial right or left. To activate, press the DEMO button again.

Do not short-circuit the ~ and

O speaker cord leads; otherwise

the sound may become inaudible or the unit may be turned off. If this happens, disconnect the AC cord from the AC outlet and re-connect the s~eaker cord correctlv. Connect then the AC cord

and turn the unit on again.

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 unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths

After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths

with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with

cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.)

When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback

head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers.

Recordino/

Pinchroller Erasure head Pinchroller

n “

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head

cleaning cass-ette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned

parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.

To demagnetize the heads

The heads may become magnetized after long-term use, This

may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available demagnetizer.

Care of discs

● 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, molors, 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.
