("EB" area code model only)

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark 📄 or the BSI mark 🌐 on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.

A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.

THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.

If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance it should be cut off and an appropriate three pin plug fitted.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol ± or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

Before use

What is CD edit recording?

CD edit recording is a function which allows you to specify a tape length and then automatically performs editing such that no tracks get cut off at the end of the tape.

Use this procedure

• You don't want to change the order of the tracks on the disc.
• You want to keep editing simple.

Editing in the original track order (Auto Edit) See page 16.

• You want to change the order of the tracks.
• You only want to record certain tracks.

This function divides the tracks on a disc between the two sides of a tape in their original order in accordance with the length of the tape.

1

Prepare the cassette deck.

1. Wind the leader and insert the tape.

2. Select noise reduction.

3. (Double-side playback deck only) Set a reverse mode to single side playback (→), and set the running direction of the tape to ▶.

4. Set the cassette deck to recording standby mode.

(For details, refer to the operating instructions for the cassette deck.)

2

Press TAPE LENGTH to specify the tape length and divide the tracks.

Each time the button is pressed, the tape length changes as follows.

• To select an arbitrary recording length, see next page A.

• To add tracks in the extra space on the tape, see next page B. Number of tracks on side A

- To check the edit contents for side B or make changes, press SIDE A/B.

3

Press PEAK SEARCH to search for the peak level on the disc, and adjust the recording level on the cassette deck.

Searching for the peak level takes about 2 minutes and 30 seconds for a 60 minute CD. When the peak level is found, the unit repeatedly produces the sound for about 6 seconds around the peak level.

Regarding the recording level adjustment procedure, refer to the operating instructions for the cassette deck.

4

Press ■.

5

Press ▶ at the same time you begin recording on the cassette deck.

- When the tracks allotted to side A have been recorded:

The CD player pauses at the beginning of the first track on side B. The cassette deck continues recording and then stops at the end of side A.

•To record side B:

1. Remove the tape to wind the leader.
2. (For double-side playback deck) Insert the tape and set the running direction to (For single-side playback deck) Turn the tape around and re-insert it
3. Begin recording on the cassette deck while simultaneously beginning playback on the CD player

To cancel CD edit mode:

Press ■.

During recording, press the button twice.

A To select an arbitrary recording length

Select "C----" and enter the total time for both sides of the tape (1 to 99 minutes) as a two-digit value.

For example:

To select 30 minutes:

To select 5 minutes:

If you make a mistake when entering this value, select "C---" again.

B To add tracks in the extra space on the tape

After step 2, press the numeric buttons to specify the desired track number. (See page 9.)

When minus sign appears on the display, it indicates that the time remaining on the tape is insufficient.

To fade out at the end of the tape during minus sign display:

Press TIME FADE.

At the end of the tape the sound will gradually decrease and recording will end.

If you want to fade out at the end of side B, press SIDE A/B, then repeat the same procedure described as above.

Note

Track numbers and numbers of tracks which cannot be edited: Editing cannot be performed on more than 20 tracks or on track numbers above 20.

In such instances, forgo use of the edit recording function, and simply perform recording in normal playback mode.

For your reference:

• Displayed time remaining on the tape:

The remaining tape time represents the length of time minus the unrecorded blanks lasting about 4 seconds provided at the start of each track for automatic searching.

- Peak level:

Since multiple peaks exist on compact discs, even for the same disc a different peak level may be found each time a peak search is performed.

Suggestions for Safety

Placement

Avoid placing the unit in areas of:

direct sunlight
•high temperature
•high humidity
•excessive vibration
●uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.

Ventilation

Place the unit in a well ventilated position at least 10 cms away from wall surfaces etc.

Stacking

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the mains lead.

Voltage

• It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such as for an air conditioner.
  A fire might be caused by such a connection.
  • A DC power source can not be used.
  Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Mains lead protection

• Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains lead, as this may result in fire or electric shock hazard.
  Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the lead should also be avolded.
• Do not pull on the lead when you are disconnecting the power, as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the mains.
  ●Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.
