Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure
to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner,
benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface
of the unit.

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature
change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in
the air could condense on the internal mechanism,
making correct operation impossible. To prevent
this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two
hours with the power turned on. The unit will
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Memory Backup

If the power supply is interrupted for 14 days or
longer, all the settings kept in memory (such as
preset stations and timer settings) will be erased.

It will take more than 3 days after plugging the
power cord into the outlet to charge enough
electricity for the memory backup function.

Restoring factory settings

If you want to manually initialize the settings, restore
the unit to the factory settings as follows:

1. If the unit is on, turn it off (standby).

2. Hold down the FM MODE button for more than 4
seconds until the unit turns on.

All memories are erased, and the unit returns to the
factory settings.

<

Never use such chemicals as record sprays,
antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

<

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip.”

<

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the
disc.

<

Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.

Discs

7

< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the

effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary
CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a
location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and
which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

<

Printable discs aren’t recommended, as the label
side might be sticky and damage the unit.

< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the

discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the

information on the label side. Never use a ball-point
or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to
the recorded side.

<

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the
mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

<

Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided
with this unit is sufficient for good reception in
most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the
claw to the slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM
antenna terminals.

Make sure to connect:

white wire q

right terminal

black wire q

left terminal (GND)

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a
window frame, etc., in the direction which gives
the best reception. Keep all other wires such as
power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires
as far away as possible from the antenna.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (often due to being too far
from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.),
it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna
or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5
m long, strip one end, and connect this to the
terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or
indoors near a window. For better reception,
connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Connecting Antennas

13

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω
socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to
your favorite station (see page 33). Adjust the
antenna in a suitable location like a window
frame or wall until the reception is best and then
affix the antenna in that position using thumb
tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient;
if you live in an area where the FM signals are
particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one
with 5 or more elements.

<

Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an
outdoor antenna.
