Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload
the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC
is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on
the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the
AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or
an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to

Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service, make the below checks. If you can’t fix the system as described below, or if something not
listed here occurs, refer to the enclosed directory to locate an Authorized Service Center convenient to you or contact your
dealer.
Common problems
No sound. Turn the volume up.
The speaker cords may not be connected properly. Turn the unit off, check and correct the
connections and turn the unit on (refer page 4).
Sound is unfixed, reversed or comes
from one speaker only. Check the speaker connections (refer page 4).
Humming heard during play. An AC power supply cord or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and
cords away from this unit’s cables.
“ERROR” is displayed. Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again.
“– –:– –” appears on the display. You plugged the AC power supply cord in for the first time or there was a power failure
recently.
Set the time (refer page 15).
“F61” is displayed. Check and correct the speaker cord connections (refer page 4).
If this does not fix the problem, there is a power supply problem. Consult the dealer.
Listening to the radio
Noise is heard.
The stereo indicator flickers or doesn’t
light.
Sound is distorted.
Use an outdoor antenna (refer page 5).
A beat sound is heard. Turn the TV off or separate it from the unit.
A low hum is heard during AM
broadcast. Separate the antenna from other cables and cords.
When there is a television set nearby
The picture on the TV disappears or
stripes appear on the screen. The location and orientation of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna,
change to an outdoor antenna (refer page 5).
The TV antenna wire is too close to the unit. Separate the antenna wire of the TV set from
the unit.
Using the cassette deck
Recording is not possible. If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape (refer
page 13).
Playing discs
The display is wrong or play won’t
start. The disc may be upside down (refer page 7).
Wipe the disc.
Replace the disc if it is scratched, warped, or non-standard.
Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a sudden change in temperature. Wait
about an hour for it to clear and try again.
The total number of tracks displayed
differs each time the same disc is
inserted.
Unusual sound is heard.
The disc may be scratched, or its data may be defective. Replace the disc.
CD-RW cannot be read. The disc was incompletely formatted. Use the recording equipment to fully format the disc
before recording.
“VBR–” is displayed instead of the
remaining play time. The unit cannot display the remaining play time for variable bit rate (VBR) tracks.
“TAKE OUT/DISC” appears on the
display. There is a problem with the disc mechanism. (A power failure may have occurred.)
The tray will open automatically. Remove the disc from the tray, and after ensuring there is
no disc in the tray, close it. The unit will make the disc changing noises for a few moments
and then it should operate normally.
The remote control
Remote control doesn’t work. Check that the batteries are inserted correctly (refer page 5).
Replace the batteries if they are worn.
