To Replace the Battery in the Remote Control
Notes on the power cord
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an
extended period of time, remove the plug from the
wall outlet.
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet,
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
System or moving the System.
• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put
anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.
• If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the
power cord replaced with a new one.
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high
temperatures
• Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.
• If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and
remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult
your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause
a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place
it near a heating device.
Getting Started
Notes on installation
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Do not install the System in a place subject to
vibrations.
• Do not put heavy objects on the System.
To prevent malfunction or damage of the System
• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires,
hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.
• Do not block the vents.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and
consult your dealer.
NOTES:
•Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach.
If a child accidentally swallows the battery, consult a
doctor immediately.
•To prevent the battery from over-heating, cracking, or
starting a fire:
– Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery
or dispose of it in a fire.
– Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials.
– Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when
throwing away or saving it.
– Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools.
•Dispose of battery in the proper manner, according to
federal, state, and local regulations.
•The batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not
be exposed to excessive heat source such as sunshine, fire
or the like.

Connections
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
NOTES:
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep
the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor
reception.
•Make sure both the speakers are connected correctly and firmly.
•When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals: red color to (+) and black color to (–).
•DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
•DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of the System.
To a wall outlet
Plug the AC power cord only after all connections are complete.

What is DAB System?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital
radio broadcasting systems available today. It can
deliver digital quality sound without any annoying
interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it
can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM
broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its
own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called
“services”) to form one “ensemble.” “Primary services”
(main radio stations) are sometimes accompanied by
“secondary services” to broadcast additional programs.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause
noise from the speakers and you cannot hear the
broadcast.
If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then
turn it on again.
Changing the DAB Information
Each time you press the button, the main
display changes as follows:
PTY: Program Type (See page 12.)
DLS: Dynamic Label Segment (text
messages the station sends)
*The preset number is displayed only when
the service has been selected using the
UP/DOWN keys.
NOTES:
•If no signals are sent, “NOSIGNAL” (instead of Service
Label), “NO PTY” (instead of PTY) or “NO TEXT” (instead of
DLS) appears on the display.
•If a preset channel which has no signal is selected,
“EMPTY” (instead of Service Label) appears on the display.
Improving the DAB Reception
With the supplied DAB antenna, you may not be able
to receive L-Band ensembles. You can improve the
reception of both L-Band and Band III ensembles by
connecting an active antenna (see page 3).
To supply power to the active antenna
After connecting an active antenna,
press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while the System is on standby. Power is
supplied to the active antenna when DAB
is selected as the source and “ANT.P ON”
appears on the display.
To cut the power supply, press and hold
the button again on standby. Then
“ANT.P OFF” appears on the display.
• You cannot change this setting when
the ECO mode is activated (see page 6).
Scanning Ensembles
With the ensemble scanning function, the System scans
the DAB bands to pick out available ensembles under
your receiving condition.
• When you change the source to DAB for the first
time after plugging in the AC power cord, the System
automatically performs the scanning.
• When you moved your System or adjusted the
antenna position, perform the scanning manually.
To start the scanning
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while DAB is selected as the source.
To cancel the scanning, press MENU/
CANCEL.
If you change to other source during ensemble
scanning, the System will restart the scanning when
DAB is selected as the source again.
• To cancel the scanning and stop restarting the scan,
press MENU/CANCEL.
When the scanning is complete, the System starts
playing the first service of the ensemble found first.

Learning More about This System
Listening to the Radio (see pages 10 to 12)
• The time shown on the display is based on the built-
in clock of the System, not on the information sent
through DAB or Radio Data System.
• The Enhanced Other Networks function is available
only when tuning in to FM.
Setting the Clock and Using Timers (see pages 14
and 15)
• You can set the clock and Daily Timer while the Save
Mode is turned on. While setting the clock or Daily
Timer, the display is turning on.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month.
If this happens, readjust the clock.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power
failure occurs, the clock and the timer will be
canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the
timer again.
Timer Priority:
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts
playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

Basic and Common Operations (see pages 5 and 6)
• Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the
System and starts playing back if the source is ready
or connected.
Playing Back a Disc (see pages 7 and 8)
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably
used for MP3/WMA operations.
– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time
than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and
will be skipped. This result from their recording
processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA
file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of
128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made
at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different
from the one you have intended while recording. If
a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are
ignored.
• This System can recognize up to 99 groups in a disc.
The total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that
can be recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/
WMA).

• If incompatible iPod type is connected, the iPod
may not be operated from the System. To enable
the operation, before connecting the iPod, switch
the charge mode to “OFF” (see page 9) with “iPod”
selected as source.
• Sound distortion may occur when playing back audio
sources with high recording levels. When distortion
occurs, it is recommended to turn off the equalizer of
the iPod. For information on operating the iPod, see
the iPod instruction manual.
