FM Stereo and Mono Reception

When an FM signal is tuned in, setting the BAND selector (12) to the FM ST position will enable the broadcasting to be received in stereo sound.

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
• Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzine, or thinners to

clean compact discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface. - Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could cause the Laser pickup to skip.
- Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
- Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the label side of the disc.
