Factory fitted moulded mains plug
1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only
a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in
the moulded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the
plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home
or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain
an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter,
or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse
and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible
shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains sup-
ply.
IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three-
pin plug.
*AC voltage selection
The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the
voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make
sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line
voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance
with the following direction.
AC voltage selector switch
Move switch lever to match your line volt-
age with a small screwdriver or other
pointed tool.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive
line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selec-
tor switch.

A tip for use of the tape counter
The tape counter is set to “0000” when a cassette tape is
loaded. By writing down the counter reading in case you

the tape, the memo will be helpful as a reference for lo-
cating the same position when continuing the recording
(playback) the next time. The tape counter figure decre-
ments during recording or playback of the back side (while
the 2 tape transport indicator is lit). To set the tape
counter to “0000”, open the cassette holder once. Then
the counter will be reset.
1“” : (REVERSE)
Both sides are played back (recorded), and then the
tape stops.

RDS is a system which transmits useful informa-
tion (digital data) for FM broadcasts together
with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers
designed for RDS reception can extract the in-
formation from the broadcast signal for use with
various functions such as automatic display of
the station name.
R.D.S.
(Radio Data System) (Except for some areas)
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data :
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search : º
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is
currently broadcasting a specified program type (genre).
PS (Program Service Name) Display :
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is
automatically displayed.
The “RDS” indicator lights up when an RDS broad-
cast (signal) is received.
÷Some functions may not be provided or be given
different names depending on countries or ar-
eas.
Before using RDS
For reception of RDS stations, the auto presetting function must be used to preset the stations. With the auto
presetting function, RDS stations are preset with priority. “NO DATA” will be flashed when a station is not
preset by auto presetting.
