Explanation of Graphical Symbols:
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 trian-
gle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servic-
ing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
PRECAUTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for
future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instruc-
tions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety
suggestions below.
Installation
1 Water and moisture Do not use this unit near water, such as
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, swimming pool, or the like.
2 Heat Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating
vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also
should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or
greater than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 Ventilation The unit should be situated with adequate space
around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm
(4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2
in.) from the each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack
where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry Take care that objects or liquids do
not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
6 Carts and stands When placed or
mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should
be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the unit or cart to
overturn or fall.
7 Condensation Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then
try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting The unit should not be mounted on
a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.
Electric Power
1 Power sources Use on batteries or AC house current, as
specified in the Operating Instructions and marked on the unit.
2 Polarization As a safety feature, some units are equipped with
polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into
a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power
plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does
not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service
technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the
safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power
outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC
power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could
result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being bent,
pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond their
capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord To help prevent electric shock, do not use a
polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted
to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet
or remove all the batteries if the unit will not be used for several
months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of
current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is
turned off.
Maintenance
Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating Instructions.
Damage Requiring Service
Have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician if:
- The AC power cord or plug has been damaged
- Foreign objects or liquid have gotten inside the unit
- The unit has been exposed to rain or water
- The unit does not seem to operate normally
- The unit exhibits a marked change in performance
- The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF.

CAUTION
Use only the supplied AC cord. Use with other cords may
result in the risk of fire.
USING ON BATTERIES
Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear and
insert eight R14 (size C) batteries, not supplied, as illustrated
below. Then close the lid.
To switch from AC power supply to battery power
supply, disconnect the AC cord from the AC inlet.

illuminated.
The batteries need to be replaced when:
The OPE/BATT indicator becomes dim, the tape speed
slows down, volume decreases, or sound is distorted during
operation.
Notes on batteries
To avoid damage from leakage or explosion, observe the
following:
· Insert the batteries with the
0 and 9 marks correctly
aligned.
· Do not mix different types of batteries or old batteries with
new ones.
· Never recharge the batteries, apply heat to them or take
them apart.
· Remove dead batteries.
If liquid leaks from the batteries, wipe thoroughly to remove.
NOTE
If power is interrupted for more than 12 hours, all settings
stored in memory, such as the clock, the timer, and the
presetting of the broadcasting stations, are cleared and need
to be set again.
PREPARATIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
INSERTING BATTERIES
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control
and insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries.
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote
control and the remote sensor on the main unit should be
approximately 5 meters (16 feet). When this distance
decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Some operations can be performed using the buttons on the
remote control only, or those on the main unit only, while
others can be performed using the buttons on the main unit
as well as the remote control. This instructions manual
clearly describes the buttons available for each operation.
To use the buttons
Point the remote control at the REMOTE SENSOR on the
main unit to use the buttons on the remote control.
NOTE
· If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte
leakage.
· The remote control may not operate correctly when:
The line of sight between the remote control and the unit
is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight
Other remote controls are used nearby (television, etc.)
· The
c button on the remote control has the same function
as that of the
d button on the main unit.
