• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
• Do not place anything on top of the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60^ (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.
• If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system.
• In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
• Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable.

When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.

"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air.

• If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
• If no station have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
• The same station name can be stored in different channels.
• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

• "PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.
• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.
• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

If problem occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit again, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

Factory reset, clearing all memory

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode.
2 Whilst pressing down the OPEN/CLOSE button, press the ON/STAND-BY button until "ALL CLEAR" appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.

Before transporting the unit

Remove the iPod, USB memory device and disc from the un it. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with iPod or USB memory device left docked or discs left inside might damage the unit.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

• Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
• Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
  Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

• Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet.
• Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
