IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

15 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the

mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-

tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable

system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,

or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be

fatal.

Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this

product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points

or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill

liquid of any kind on the product.

20 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21 Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet

and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following

conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the op-

erating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this

indicates a need for service.

22 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure

the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

23 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this prod-

uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine

that the product is in proper operating condition.

24 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product should be mounted to a wall

or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

for MPEG Audio Layer 3.

MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by signiﬁcant

compression from the original audio source with very little loss

in sound quality.

This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3, MPEG 2 Layer 3, and

VBR files.

During VBR ﬁle playback, time counter in the display may differ

from its actual playback time.

WMA:

WMA ﬁles are Advanced System Format ﬁles that include audio

ﬁles which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec.

WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format ﬁle for Win-

dows Media Player.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference

(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply

voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may

malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.

2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and

plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by

resetting it.

Clearing all the memory (reset)

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by

mode.

2 While pressing down the button and the button, press the

TUNER (BAND) button until "CLEAR ALL" appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,

timer settings, tuner preset, and CD program.

Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc

tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit

with discs left inside can damage the unit.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking

can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow

the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD

collection and player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label

side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive

moisture.

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does

not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out

from the center, along the radius.

Maintenance

Cleaning the tape-handling parts

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with

commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit

which contains high voltages.

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become

magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once

every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial

tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions

carefully before use.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative

maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be

performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available.

Contact your local CD software dealer for options.

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap

solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet ﬁnish.



Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
