Check the setting of the AC voltage selector
located on the rear panel before plugging the
unit into an AC socket, if necessary,
adjust the selector to match the AC power
voltage used in your area.
Selector adjustment:
Slide the selector with a screwdriver to the
appropriate voltage number. (AC 110 -127 V or
AC 220 - 240 V)
AC plug adaptor:
In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as
shown in illustration 2is used, connect the unit
using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit,
as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not
included in areas where the AC wall socket and
AC power plug can be directly connected (see
illustration 1).
Notes:
IIf the unit will not be used for a long period of
time, remove the AC power lead from the
AC socket.
IConnection of the AC power lead to the unit
disconnects the batteries.
IUse only the supplied AC power lead. Using
other power leads may cause an electric
shock or fire.
1Disconnect the AC power lead, and re-
move the battery compartment cover.
2Insert 8 “C”, size batteries (UM/SUM-2,
R14, or similar) into the battery com-
partment.

Precautions :
IWhen “no”or track number is displayed, the
power is connected. If you will not be using
the CD player, set the FUNCTION switch to
STAND-BY.
IDo not open the CD compartment whilst the
disc is rotating.
IIf the disc is damaged, dirty, or loaded upside
down, the total number of tracks will not
appear.
Clean, replace, or reload the disc properly.
IKeep foreign objects out of the CD compart-
ment.
ISubjecting the unit to shock or vibration may
cause mistracking.
IKeep the CD compartment closed except
when loading discs.
IPlaying certain compact discs at a high
volume may cause mistracking. In this case,
listen at a lower volume.
IIf TV or radio interference occurs during CD
operation, move the unit away from the TV
or radio.
HCare of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage,
however mistracking can occur due to an
accumulation of dirt on the disc surface.
Follow the guidelines below for maximum
enjoyment from your CD collection and player.
IDo not write on either side of the disc,
particularly the non-label side. Signals are
read from the non-label side. Do not mark
this surface.
IKeep your discs away from direct sunlight,
heat, and excessive moisture.
IAlways hold the CDs by the edges.
Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty
or does not play properly, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre,
along the radius.

HCleaning the lens and tape-
handling parts
IDo not touch the laser pickup lens. If the
fingerprints or dust accumulate on the
pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton
swab.
IDirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can
cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean
these parts with a cotton swab moistened
with commercial head / pinch roller cleaner
or isopropyl alcohol.
IAfter long use, the deck’s heads and
capstan may become magnetized, causing
poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording by using
a commercial tape head demagnetiser.
Read the demagnetiser’s instructions
carefully before use.
Maintenance
HCleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with a
dry cloth.
Caution:
IDo not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol,
paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the
cabinet finish.
IDo not apply oil to the inside of the unit.
It may cause malfunctions.
HCondensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or
operation in an extremely humid environment
may cause condensation inside the cabinet
(CD pickup, tape heads, etc.).
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc
(or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour).
