Precautions

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions

carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the

unit itselfas well as thesafely suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as

marked on the unit.

2.

Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

Installation

ordevices that generate strong magnetism.

4. Stacking -- Do not place heavy objects, other than system
components, on top of the unit.

3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take holdof the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when

connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power off.
When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Use of batteries

Do not try to mix old and new batteries or batteries of different

types (carbon and alkaline, etc.).

Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and

The average battery life is about one year. Although the battery life
varies depending on how often the device is used, you should
generally replace the batteries about once a year.

Replace the batteries if commands from the remote control
transmitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is
held close to the front panel.

Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt
to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

Operation notes

If you will not use the remote control for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them proper-
ly. Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inserting new

batteries. If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or
clothes, flush with water immediately.

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Do not use rechargeable type (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries.

CD Edit-Recording

Noted below are two methods for recording so that the tracks are

divided between Side A and B according to the length of the tape,
and the track is not cut off in the middle by the end of the tape.
Select the desired method and record.

About sequential-edit-recording

A method recording sequentially beginning with the first track by
selecting the disc (1 disc) you want to record from the discs set in

the changer.

When the length of the tape for recording is designated, the

microcomputer in the changer automatically calculates which
tracks will be entered onto sides A and B, and displays this in the
display. When recording of side A finishes, the reverse function of
the cassette deck operates and recording on side B begins. Then,
after the last track to be entered onto side B finishes playing, the
changer stops and the cassette deck returns to a paused condi-

tion.
(See pages 32-33.)

About program-edit-recording

A method for programming and recording the tracks you desire
from among the discs set in the changer (maximum of 5 discs).
When recording of side A finishes, the reverse function of the
cassette deck operates and side Bautomatically begins recording.

Then, when the next track to be recorded will not fit in the time re-

maining, the changer stops and the cassette deck returns to a
paused condition.

B, recording for side B starts automatically.

During recording, the changer automatically makes approx-
imately 3-second silent gaps at the beginning of every track

(auto space function).

Depending on the disc, a little sound of the beginning of the

next track may be recorded onto the end of the track.

silent gap) for each tape side A/B (23 minutes) and program

the selections accordingly.
The changer can edit up to 32 selections.

Handling precautions

To open the compact disc case, gently press the sides of the top,

holding the top at both sides and pull up.
To remove the disc from the case, press the center holder and lift
the disc, holding by the edges.

Center holder

To return the disc to the case, insert the clisc will label facing up
and press downward at the center.

ty prevention liquids or any other solvent on disc.

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only)

cloth.

Always move the cloth directly outward from the center of the disc,
not in a circular motion as with standard phonograph records.

(Correct)

If you are taking the disc from a cold to a warm environment,
moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this off with a soft, dry, lint-
free cloth before using the disc.

Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing
instrument.

(incorrect)

Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, and warping.

Do not place or store discs in the following places:

1) Locations exposed to direct sunlight.

2) Humid or dusty locations.

3) Locations directly exposed to a heat vent or heating appliance.

4) In the glove compartment or rear deck of an automobile.
