FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
• Operate controls and switches as described in
the manual.
• Before turning on the power, make certain that
the connecting cords, if any, and power cord
areproperly installed.
• Store your CDs and cassette tapes in a cool
area to avoid damage from heat.
• When moving the set, be sure to first
disconnect the power cord and remove cords
connected to other equipment.
• Avoid installing this unit in places exposed to
direct sunlight or close to heat radiating
appliances such as electric heaters, on top of
other stereo equipment that radiates too much
heat, places lacking ventilation or dusty areas,
places subject to constant vibration and/or
humid or moist areas.
• Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use
a clean dry cloth.

UNPACKING AND SET-UP
• Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit.
• Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but do not
remove any labels from the back or bottom.
• We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it ever becomes
necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure way to protect the unit from
damage in transit.
• If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly.
POWER SOURCE
This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC house current. Connecting this system
to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your
warranty.You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having
one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not fit into your
existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wide blade to make it
fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated
non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
PREPARATION FOR USE
SM51TR.p65 2001/7/3, PM 02:213
4
Place the unit on stable, level surface, out of direct
sunlight and away from sources of excessive dust,
dirt, heat, water, moisture, vibration and strong
magnetic fields.
Do not connect the unit to the AC power supply until
all other connections have been made and the AC
voltage (indicated on the rating plate on the back
cover) has been checked.
When positioning the unit, bear in mind that every
receiver produces heat which must be able to dissipate
freely. For this reason do not cover any vents and
make sure that there is sufficient ventilation around
the unit.
Always remove all CDs from the changer before
moving the system.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded.
To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with
erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot
accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette
has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the
erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key from locking.
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This
will allow the record key to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1.) Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2.) Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of themechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:
• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).
Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the
machine (see Fig. 2).
• If the cassette feels “tight” while performing operation shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to “ridges”
formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by
fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.
• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating
that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the STOP/
EJECT key to open the cassette door, and press the PLAY key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with
a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.
COMPACT DISC CARE
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center 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.
