Suggestions for Safety
■ Use a standard AC wall outlet
1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for
an air conditioner, is very dangerous.
There is the possibility that a fire might be caused by making
such a connection.
2. A DC power source cannot be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
■ Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power
supply cord
1. Wet hands are dangerous.
A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched
by wet hands.
2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord,
and never force It to bend sharply.
■ Place the unit where it will be well ventilated
Place this unit at least 10 cm (4“) away from wall surfaces, etc.
Be careful that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the
ventilation holes.
■ Avoid places such as the following:
In direct sunlight or In other places where the temperature is
high.
In places whers there is excessive vibration or humidity.
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other compo¬
nent parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.
■ Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level sur¬
face.
If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.
■ Never attempt to repair or reconstruct this
unit
A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the
internal parts are accidentally touched.
■ Take particular care if children are present
Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside
this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if
articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted
through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.
■ If water is spilled on the unit
Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire
or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect
the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.
■ Avoid spray-type insecticides
Insecticides might cause cracks or “cloudiness” in the cabinet
and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might,
moreover, be ignited suddenly.
■ Never use alcohol or paint thinner
These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they
might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.
■ Disconnect the power supply cord If the unit
will not be used for a long time
If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this will not
only shorten its useful operation life, but may also cause other
troubles.
■ If trouble occurs
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no
longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected, im¬
mediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your
dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Memory presettings
You can program 30 FM/MW/LW radio broadcast stations into memory, so that any desired station may be selected by simply touching one or
two buttons. There are two methods tor presetting broadcast frequencies in the memory: the automatic method (see below) and the manual
method (refer to page 16); select whichever method you prefer.
( Automatic memory presetting
When this method is used, the frequencies of the selected broad¬
cast stations are automatically preset (in sequence to higher fre¬
quencies) into memory: “channels" 1 to 30 are available for the
presetting of FM stations, “channels” 21 to 30 are available for
MW stations, and "channels” 27 to 30 are available for LW sta¬
tions.
When a presetting is made to a channel that has already been
preset, the prior presetting will be erased, so if, for example, FM
frequencies are preset to channel 1 to 30 and then MW frequen¬
cies are preset, the first MW frequency will be preset to channel
21 (thus erasing the FM presetting to channel 21), the second
MW frequency will be preset to 22 (erasing FM 22), and so on.
D
Notes:
• For automatic pressetting In areas where there are fewer than
30 stations for FM broadcasts, the remaining channels will be
left unused. The unused channels can be filled by following
steps 2 through 5 on page 16.
• For MW/LW broadcasts with extremely strong signal transmis¬
sions, the frequency memorized may be slightly different than
the correct frequency. If this occurs, make a manual preset¬
ting.
• If a new broadcast station is preset into a channel, the broad¬
cast station which was previously entered in that channel will
be automatically erased.
