CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
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 CONSTI-
TUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TO PERSONS.
THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER
TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.
Units are designed for operation as follows.
Europe and U.K. .................................................AC 230 V only
U.S.A. and Canada ............................................AC 120 V only
Factory fitted moulded mains plug
1.The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use
only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2.The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the
fuse in the moulded plug.
3.Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If
the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved ex-
tension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
IMPORTANT : Thewiresin the mains leadarecoloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a
three-pin plug.
For the United Kingdom
Safety precautions WARNING : TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS AP-
PLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
Before applying power
The marking is located on the rear panel and says that
the component uses laser beams that have been clas-
sified as Class 1. It means that the unit is utilizing laser
beams that are of a weaker class. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.

Before applying power
18.Power lines – Anoutsideantenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
otherelectric light or power circuits,or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outsideantennasystem,extremecareshouldbetaken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
19.AC outlets – Do not connect other audio
equipment with a power consumption larger than
that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel.
Never connect other electrical appliances, such
as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric
shock.
20. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
21. Attachment – Do not use attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they
may cause hazards.
22. Replacement parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used

The High grade Micro Component Series
Thank you for purchasing the High grade Micro component series.
This system is available in various configuration according to your preferences.
The system configuration is up to you, but as the following convenient system operations can be
executed by connecting the various units to the system control, the respective units should be pur-
chased as required.
Remote Control
The remote control supplied with the receiver can be used for basic operation of the source units (CD
player, cassette deck, MD recorder).
Automatic Operation
When playback is started on the playback source unit, the input selector on the amp tuner will
automatically be set to input for that source unit. Also, when source input is selected on the amp tuner,
playback of the input source unit will be started automatically.
Synchronized Recording
With recording from CD or MD, it is possible to start synchronized recording by the recording unit (MD
recorder or cassette deck). (Recording from one MD recorder onto another one is not possible.)
There are also other convenient functions like one-touch edit recording for CD and MD etc.
Timer Operation

About the Instruction Manual
While some models of the High grade Micro component series have an instruction manual explaining
the system operation for R-SE9T (receiver), DP-SE9 (CD player), and X-SE9 (cassette deck), other mod-
els have only an operation manual for that model itself. This is done so that the system operation can
be done easily even when optional equipment is purchased at a later date. Please read the required
sections according to the components you purchased.
With the High grade Micro component series, the system explanations show only the connection method
for the DM-SE9 (MD recorder). Please refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the DM-SE9 for the
detailed operation.

¶Easy Operation
When the High grade Micro component series is connected to the system control, input switching with the
input selector (TAPE, TUNER, CD, MD) of the R-SE9T will start playback by the selected unit. Reversely, when
playback is started from a unit, the input will be switched automatically to this unit.
Accessories
Time edit recording: Recording so that no track is interrupted within the specified time.
One-touch edit recording: When listening to a CD, either a single track or the entire CD can be recorded on tape
by one-touch operation.

Unpacking
Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost.
Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immedi-
ately. If your unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or
company receiving the unit) can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.
We recommend that you retain the original carton and packing materials for use should you transport or ship the unit in the future.
The wake-up timer and the sleep timer can be set easily.
A daily program timer also can be reserved.

¶Newly developed D.R.I.V.E. IC installed
A D.R.I.V.E. (Dynamic Resolution Incentive Vector Enhancement) IC that rapidly improves distortion at minute
levels is installed in the CD player in order to extract the maximum performance possible from the CD.
7Convenient easy to use operation
¶New “TRAITRA” transistor
The newly developed “TRAITRA” transistor with extremely superior temperature characteristics is used in this
amplifier’s amplification circuit. Through the use of this transistor, distortion generated because of temperature
change is kept to a minimum resulting in “pure” sound reproduction.
¶Adoption of a 24 bit new D/A convertor
Through adoption of a 24 bit internally operated high performance New D/A convertor, a smoother sound is
reproduced.
