• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging
the coM, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting coMs and the
antenna. 'lbe power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for anlenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against inlerference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM orAM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
