IMPORTANT (In the United Kingdom)
Mains Supply (AC 230 V`, 50 Hz only)
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 extension lead or consult your dealer. BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off ensure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT make any connection to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue to N (Neutral) or Black Brown to L (Live) or Red As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards and Damage 1. Even when the button is set to STANDBY, a very small current will flow. To save power and for safety when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the household AC outlet. 2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. 3. When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord. 4. Consult your nearest dealer when damage, disconnection, or contact failure affects the cord. 5. Do not bend the cord severely, or pull or twist it. 6. Do not modify the power cord in any manner. 7. To avoid accidents, do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do not touch anything inside the unit. 8. Do not insert any metallic objects into the units woofer ducts, etc. 9. Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of lightning. 10.If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet and consult your dealer. 11. Do not block the units ventilation holes that allow heat to escape. Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place.
button When the power cord is connected to a household AC outlet, the power indicator lights in red indicating the STANDBY mode (only when AC power is used). When the button is pressed, the power indicator goes out and the display window lights (only when AC power is used).
When this unit is plugged into an AC outlet, it consumes a small current to operate the remote control and timer, or to back up the memory of the microprocessor, even when the button is set to STANDBY.

Adhesive tape
Note: If the power is switched off while tape is running, it may be impossible to remove the cassette. If this happens, switch the power on again before attempting to remove the cassette. Auto tape select mechanism This unit has an Auto Tape Select mechanism which distinguishes between different types of tape using detection holes in the cassette. After the type of tape has been detected, bias and equalization suitable for the tape are set. Cassettes with detection holes: Metal tape (EQ: 70 s).. Type IV CrO 2 (chrome) tape (EQ: 70 s).. Type II Cassettes without detection holes: Normal tape (EQ: 120 s).. Type I

To listen to an FM stereo broadcast

Repeat the previous procedure for each of the other stations, using a different preset button each time. Repeat the previous procedure for the other band. To change preset stations Perform step 4 after tuning to the required station. Notes: The previously stored station is erased when a new station is stored, because the new stations frequency replaces the previous frequency in memory. When listening to an AM (MW/LW) broadcast, noise may be heard if the remote control unit is used.
1 Press the TUNER BAND/FM MODE button. 2 Select the band using the TUNER BAND/FM MODE button. 3 Press the required preset station buttons (No. 1 No. 10 and +10).

To prevent the preset stations from being erased because of a power failure, etc., install memory back-up batteries in the unit (see page 6).

Using the antennas

Adjust the telescopic antennas length, angle and direction until optimum reception is received. AM (MW/LW): Install the unit where suitable reception is possible (beside a window, etc.) or change the direction of the unit. Note: The built-in ferrite core antenna can pick up interference from television receivers in the neighborhood and thereby disturb AM (MW/LW) reception.

AM (MW/LW)

RECORDING
During recording, the ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit automatically optimizes the recording level, so manual recording level adjustment is unnecessary. Check that the safety tab on the cassette tape is not broken off.
Note: This unit has recording characteristics suitable for normal and CrO2 tapes. Normal and CrO2 tapes have different characteristics from metal tapes.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning is important! When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch roller. When they become too dirty. Sound quality deteriorates. The output sound level drops. Previously recorded tape is not completely erased. Recording is not performed satisfactorily. Therefore, you should clean the heads, etc. after every 10 hours of use for optimal recording conditions. Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch roller Open the cassette holder. Clean the heads, pinch roller and capstan. For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available from an audio store. After cleaning, be sure that the cleaning fluid has dried completely before loading a cassette. Cautions: 1. Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the head. If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and the sound will deteriorate. Demagnetize the head every 20-30 hours of use with a head eraser (available from an audio store). (When demagnetizing button should be set to STANDBY.) the head, the 2. Do not use anything other than alcohol for cleaning. Thinner and benzine will damage the rubber pinch roller.

TROUBLESHOOTING
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. First make sure. Power cannot be turned on. * Is the power cord unplugged? No sound from the speakers. * Are headphones connected? Clock time is blinking in the display. * Was there a power failure? * Was the power cord unplugged while the memory back-up batteries were not installed? (CD Player Section) The CD player does not play. * Is the CD upside down? * Is the CD dirty? * Is there condensation on the lens? (See Cleaning the lens on page 26.) A certain portion of the CD does not play correctly. * Is the CD scratched? * Is there condensation on the lens? When the operation stops. * Switch to STANDBY and then to ON again. (Cassette Deck Section) Playback sound is at a very low level. * Is the head dirty? The ONE TOUCH REC button does not function. * Have the safety tabs of the cassette been broken off?
(Tuner Section) Reception is noisy. * Try adjusting the antenna. * Is there a TV set or computer device near the unit? (Timer Section) Timer operation does not start. * Is the current time set correctly? * Is the timer mode indicator ( ) displayed? (Remote Control) Remote control is impossible. * Are the batteries in the remote control exhausted? * Is the remote sensor section exposed to bright light (direct sunlight, etc.)? Notes: When the above remedies do not help Many operations of this unit are performed by the control of a microprocessor. If none of the buttons function, unplug the power cord and remove all the batteries, wait for a while, then load the batteries again and plug it back in. Reset the correct values for the clock and timer. Before making an important recording, be sure to make a test recording first to check that the deck, etc. is working correctly.
