“CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

SERVICE PERSONNEL.” Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating in- structions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below. Installation

Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41“F) or greater than 35°C (95”F). Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side. - Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. - Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded. Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings. Carts and stands — When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quickstops,excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the AL* unit or cart to overturn or fall. Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when: - The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot - The heating system has just been turned on - The unit is used in a very humid room - The unit is cooled by an air conditioner When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again. Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted on a wall or c~ling, unless specified in the Operating instruc- tions.Electric Power

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit. Polarization —As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet. AC power cord - When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself. - Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock. - Power cord should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket. - Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock. 1 ENGLISH4

Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug. When not in use — Unplug the AC power plug from the power socket if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit,even when the power is turned off. Outdoor Antenna 1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines. 2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals. Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code

NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL COOEELECTRODE SYSTEM(NEC ART 250 PART H) Maintenance Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating Instruc- tions.

CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTIENNA

For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is recommended. Connect the outdoor antenna to FM 75 Q terminals.

To position the antennas FM feeder antenna: Extend this antenna horizontally in a T-shape and fix its ends to the wall. AM loop antenna: Position for the best reception. ● Do not connect any speakers to the unit other than the supplied ones. ● Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly. Improper connections can cause short circuits in SPEAKERS terminals. ● Do not leave objects generating magnetism, such as credit cards, near the speakers, as these objects may be damaged. ● Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails. ● Do not bring the AM antenna near other optional equipment, the stereo system itself, the AC cord or speaker cords, since noise will be picked up. ● Do not unwind the AM antenna wire.

To clean the cabinet Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit. To clean the heads and tape paths After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.) When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recordinglplayback head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers. Recording/

Pinchroller Erasure head Pinc;roller After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes. To demagnetize the heads The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available demagnetizer. Care of discs ● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth. ● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid. Care of tapes ● Store tapes in their cases after use. ● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This willdowngrade the sound quality and cause noise. ● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight. If the unit fails to perform as described in these Operating Instructions, check the following guide. GENERAL There is no sound. ● Is the AC cord connected properly? ● Is there a bad connection? (+ page 3) . There may be a short circuit in the speaker terminals. + Disconnect the AC cord, then correct the speaker connections. ● Was an incorrect function button pressed? Sound is emitted from one speaker only. ● Is the other speaker disconnected? An erroneous display or a malfunction occurs. + Reset the unit as stated below. TUNER SECTION There is constant, wave-like static. ● Is the antenna connected properly? (+ page 3) ● Is the signal weak? + Connect an outdoor antenna. The reception contains noise interferences or the sound is distorted. ● Is the system picking up external noise or multipath distortion? - Change the orientation of the antenna. + Move the unit away from other electrical appliances.

CASSETTE DECK SECTION

The tape does not run. ● Is deck in pause mode? (+ page 11) The sound is off-balance or not adequately high. ● Is the playback head dirty? (+ page 19) Recording is not possible. ● Is the erasure prevention tab on the tape broken off? (-+ page 11) ● Is the recording head dirty? (+ page 19) Erasure is not possible. ● Is the erasure head dirty? (~ page 19) ● Is a metal tape being used? High frequency sound is not emitted. ● Is the recording/playback head dirty? (+ page 19)

The CD player does not play. ● Is the disc correctly placed? (+ page 9) ● Is the disc dirty? (+ page 19) ● Is the lens affected by condensation? + Wait approximately one hour and try again. To reset If an unusual condition occurs in the display window or the cassette decks, reset the unit as follows. 1 Press POWER to turn off the power. 2 Press POWER to turn the power back on while pressing ■ CLEAR. Everything stored in memory after purchase is canceled. If the power cannot be turned off in step 1 because of a malfunction, reset by disconnecting the AC cord, and connect it again.
