How This Manual Is Organized
Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section Basic Operations, and not repeated under each function. The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, NO DISC. If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted. System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play. Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require. We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

Installation of the System
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5C and 35C or 41F and 95F.) Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV. Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.

Power cord

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands! Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet. When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

English

Malfunctions, etc.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer. Do not insert any metallic object into the System.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)
PROGRAM REC START/STOP CD REC START DUBBING
REC indicator 3: Tape indicator
Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and youre ready to record. For each source, the procedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.
Things To Know Before You Start Recording
t It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner. t The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. t Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording.
At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
If a recording you make has excessive noise or static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the Unit.

Adhesive tape

t To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. t Type I tape can be used for recording.
MX-K1(J).book Page 18 Wednesday, January 31, 2001 2:44 PM

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with this procedure.
Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck B and wind past the tape leader. Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.
CD REC appears on the display and the REC indicator lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape. When recording is finished, CD REC FINISHED scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

Setting the SLEEP Timer

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by itself rather than play all night. You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer: t The REC Timer always has priority. This means that: If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC Timer is operating, the other timer just wont come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on a tape. If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is operating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over. t The SLEEP Timer has the least priority. This means that if the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the SLEEP Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Timer is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use the settings from the DAILY Timer.
During playback a source, press the SLEEP button.
The SLEEP indicator starts blinking on the display.
Set the length of time you want the source to play before shutting off.
Each time you press the SLEEP button, the time length changes as follows: 10 = 20 = 30 = 60 = 90 = 120 = Cancelled = (back to the beginning)

Example 1

Setting ON OFF OFF

REC Timer SLEEP Timer

Remove the obstruction. Replace the batteries. Unplug the System then plug it back in.
