INTRODUCTION

Before Use

Safety Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor sound quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog records.

Notes on Remote Control Remote control operating range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.

Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the

remote sensor.

Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the

remote sensor.

Remote control battery installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two

R03 (size AAA) batteries with and aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Notes on Tapes

Connections

Speaker System Connection

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

otes

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.

• If you use front speakers with a low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive sound output to the speakers.

• Do not disassemble the front cover of supplied speaker

Antenna (Aerial) Connections

Connect the supplied FM/AM antennas for listening to the radio.

• Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM antenna connector.

• Connect the FM wire antenna (or FM “T” antenna) to the FM 300Ω connector.

otes

•To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the unit and other components.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM antenna wire.

• After connecting the FM antenna wire, keep it as horizontal as possible.
