SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of
equipment) are properly made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when
making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

You can listen to auxiliary equipment.
First make sure that the auxiliary equipment is properly connected to the system. (See pages 5 and 6.)
Note: For operation of the auxiliary equipment, refer to its instructions.

Listening to auxiliary
equipment
1. Set the volume level to minimum.
„
2. Press AUX.
„
“AUX” appears on the display.

• To listen to the auxiliary equipment, start playing the
auxiliary equipment.
Bubbles appear when the

signal.

3. Adjust the volume to the desired listening
„
level.
4. Apply sound effects, if you wish.
„
• Adjust the super woofer volume to reinforce the bass sound.

Switching to AUX
automatically—QP Link
Quick Portable Link (QP Link) automatically switches the source
to AUX as the auxiliary equipment connected to the AUX jack
starts playback.

Using the remote control only

To activate QP Link
Press QP LINK repeatedly to show “QPL
ON” on the display.
The QP LINK indicator appears on the display in the following
cases to inform you that QP Link is ready to work:
– When an auxiliary equipment is connected to the AUX jack.
– When AUX is selected as the source.

„ How does QP Link work?
While QP Link is activated, starting playback performs the
following:
– While listening to another source,
Changes the source to AUX.
– When the power is supplied through the AC outlet and the
system is turned off,
Turns on the system and selects AUX as the source.
NOTES:
• When the sound signal from the auxiliary equipment is too weak,
QP Link may not function correctly. In this case, turn up the
volume of the auxiliary equipment so that the system can detect
the sound signal properly.
• If you change the source from AUX with QP Link turned on, QP
Link will be deactivated temporarily. In this case, the following
reactivate QP Link:
– When the auxiliary equipment is unplugged from the AUX
jack, then plugged in again.
– When the sound signal from AUX jack stops or becomes very
weak for about 30 seconds.
• If the system is turned off while QP Link is working, QP Link
will be deactivated temporarily. In this case, QP Link is
reactivated when the sound signal from AUX jack stops or
becomes very weak for about 30 seconds after the system is
turned off.
• While QP Link is activated, QP Link may start working when
you just connect the auxiliary equipment to the AUX jack or
unplug it. This is not a malfunction.

Changing the AUX jack

Care and maintenance

Handle your discs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Cleaning the lens
Compact discs
• This system can play back the following discs:
– Audio CD
– Finalized CD-R/CD-RW recorded in audio
CD format or MP3 format
However, continued use of irregular shape
discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage
the system.

If the lens in the pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the disc compartment door and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available at camera stores) to blow dust off the
lens.

Blower

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or
bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent
warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc
when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION:
Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a disc.

Lens

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a
cotton swab.

Moisture condensation

General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the disc compartment door closed when not in use.

„
„

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
system in the following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm place.
Should this occur, the system may malfunction.
In this case, leave the system turned on for a few
hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the
AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Troubleshooting

• If you are having a problem with your system, check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.
• If you cannot solve the problem from the hints given here, or the system has been physically damaged, call a qualified person, such as your
dealer, for service.
