The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within

an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user

to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous

voltage" within the product's enclosure that may

be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral tri-

angle is intended to alert the user to the presence

of important operating and maintenance (ser-

vicing) instructions in the literature accompanying

the appliance.

Beforeusing this unit please read these operating instructions

carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on

the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power sup-

ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or

as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC

power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other),

that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safe-

ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the

plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug

body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power

off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should

be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Installation

Environment

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is ground-

ed so as to provide some protection against voltage surges

and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Elec-

trical Code, ANSIINFPA No. 70-1990, provides information

with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure

below.

Listening caution

@

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-

chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time

to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic In-

dustries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to

get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.

One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without an-

noying blaring or distortion- and, most importantly, without affec-

ting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal"

can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level

BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

•Start your volume control at a low setting.

•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

•Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing

damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a

lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Usecl wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of

fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is

often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group

recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

This list of sound levels* is included for your protection.

*The level used here is different from that displayed on the

system's display.

Preset tuning

By presetting the desired broadcast stations into the memory

channels of this unit, broadcast stations can be selected simply

by pressing numeric button(s). (Refer to page 20 for tuning.)

-Before presetting

How many broadcast stations can be preset?

A total of 30 FM and AM stations can be preset.

How Is presetting done?

The two following methods are available.

• Automatic memory presetting

Automatic memory presetting allows this unit to automatical-

ly search for broadcast stations and then preset them into

memory.

With this function, searching proceeds from the frequency

currently being displayed and continues through higher fre-

quencies, (up to 107.9 MHz for FM, up to 1710 kHz for AM)

and broadcast stations are preset in the order in which they

are located.

With this method, the channel ranges that can be preset into

the memory for different bands (FM or AM) are set as

follows.

Channel

r_.-..-_-_-_.-__: .... -- I,,i2ol211_.--_-_--_"_

For FM broadcast stations ........................ 1 -30

For AM broadcast stations ....................... 21-30

If the FM stations (channels 1-30) ere preset and then

the AM stations (channels 21-30) are preset:

Because this unit can accommodate a total of 30 preset

channels, the settings for FM channels 21 - 30 will be replac-

ed by the AM settings which were subsequently preset, and

the channel allotment will be as shown below.

Channel

> < AM_

I- FM

For FM broadcast stations........................I-20

For AM broadcast stations.......................21- 30

• Manual memory presetting

The desired broadcast stations can be preset into the

desired channels by the user.

This can also be used as a method for changing selected

broadcast stations that were preset in "Automatic memory

presetting".

Please remember this:

If anew broadcast station is preset into a channel, the set-

ting for the broadcast station which was previously entered

in that channel will be automatically erased.

The channel number is not displayed if you change the reception

frequency or FM mode setting.

For your reference:

Even if the power is switched to the standby condition or the

power cord is disconnected from the household AC outlet, the

contents of the memory will continue to be stored for approx-

imately one month.

If frequency presettings are accidentally erased

Make the frequency presettings once again.

The power cord should remain connected for one hour or more

for the memory back-up to be effective.
