Power requirements
Power requirements for electrical appliances differ from
area to area. Please ensure that your unit meets the re-
quirements in your area.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
220-230V, 50Hz for Europe except the U.K.
240V, 50Hz for the U.K. and Australia
110V/120V/220V/240V, 50/60Hz convertible for other
countries.
Voltage conversion (not on all
models)
Models for Europe, the U.K. and Australia are not voltage
convertible. Each unit is preset at the factory according to
its destination. Other models include a voltage selector
that allows you adjust the voltage to 110V, 120V, 220V or
240V as required.
If your unit’s voltage can be converted:
Before connecting the power cord make sure that the
VOLTAGE SELECTOR (located on the rear panel of the
amplifier) is set to the correct voltage for your area. If
necessary, use a screwdriver to turn the VOLTAGE SE-
LECTOR until the correct voltage is indicated.
120V T10V
240V 220V
This equipment conforms to No.82/499/EEC,87/308/
EEC standard.

About the POWER switch
The unit is not equipped with a primary power switch. Even
when the amplifiers POWER button is off, the power supply
tothe unitis not completely turned off. If you wish to turn the
power off completely, disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.

What you should know to protect
yourself
@ Never touch the plug with wet hands
e Always pull the power cord out by its plug, never by its cord.
@ Only let a qualified professional repair or reassemble the
components. An inexperienced person might touch the in-
ternal parts and receive a serious shock.
@ Never put anything, especially metal into the componenis.
Protect the components too
@ Use a household AC power source only. Never use a DC
power source.
@ if water is spilled on the components, disconnect them and
call your dealer.
® Makesure thatthe components are well ventilated and away
from direct sunlight.
@ Toavoid damage to the internal circuits and the external sur-
face, keep the components away from heat (stoves, etc.).
@ Avoid using aerosol sprays near the components as this
could damage the finish or cause sudden ignition of the
spray.
@ To avoid damaging the finish, never use paint thinner or
other similar chemicals to clean the components.
@ Place the components on a flat and solid surface.
@ |fyou do not plan to use the components for along period of
time, disconnect the power cord.
Avoid moisture condensation
lf the temperature of the room where the stereo system is
placed is suddenly increased, or if the system is transported
from acold location to a warm one, condensation (tiny droplets
of water) may form on the CD player's laser pickup lens or the
cassette deck’s transport section (Such as capstan and heads),
preventing correct playback. If excess condensation forms on
the compact disc or inside the CD player, operation of the CD
player will not resume until the condensation has had ample
time to dissipate. If condensation forms inside the cassette
deck, the tape will stick to the heads and be ruined, or it will not
be transported properly. In either case wait 30 minutes to one
hour before using the stereo system.
important
Transport locking plugs
The transport locking plugs lock the laser pickup to prevent
damage to it during transportation.
Before playback these locking plugs (located on the bottom of
the CD player) must be removed.
When transporting the CD player be sure to re-insert the trans-
port locking plugs (make sure that the compact disc has been
removed first).

In case of malfunction
A large amount of static electricity may cause this stereo
component system to malfunction or stop functioning
completely. In this case, the micro-processors must be re-
set to their initial operating mode as follows.
Tuner:
Press the RESET button on the rear of the tuner to reset the
micro-processor.
(PUSH)
Amplifier, cassette deck and CD player:
Unplug the power cord from your household AC outlet for
at least 30 seconds, then re-connect it.
Make Your Contribution to Protect the Environment
Used batteries with the ISO symbol for recycling
as well as small accumulators (rechargeable bat- _CAY
teries), mini-batteries (cells) and starter batteries vor)
should not be thrown into the garbage can.
Please leave them at an appropriate depot. All other
household batteries can be thrown out with the household
waste.

Operation
Point the remote control at the tuner’s REMOTE SENSOR win-
dow and press the desired operation button. If the remote con-
trol will only operate from a short distance or narrow angle, this
indicates that the batteries are weak and need to be replaced.
Operating the remote contro! near fluorescent lights may cause
malfunction.
How to load the batteries
Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
arrow and remove it (Fig. 1).
Load the batteries according to the polarity guides on the
remote control unit.
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
Cautionary notes
On the remote control
@ The remote control cannot be used for recording or playback
functions that require the combined pressing of two tape
transportation buttons (intro scan or auto play for example).
Please use the cassette deck’s tape transportation buttons
for the operation of such functions.
@ Avoid dropping the remote control or getting it wet.
® Avoid exposing the remote control to direct sunlight or
strong light as this may cause malfunction.
@ Keep the remote control away from appliances that gener-
ate electrical noise (TV sets, micro-wave ovens, etc..)
@ When replacing the batteries, clean all the remote control
and battery terminals with a dry cloth.
On the batteries
@ When you do not plan to use the remote control for a long
period of time, remove the batteries.
@ Read the cautions printed on the batteries before inserting
them.
@ When replacing the batteries, replace them all at the same
time. Do not mix old batteries with new ones.
