1 AM/FM antenna

To assemble the AM loop antenna
For the better AM/FM reception
Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)
To connect the AM loop antenna
FM antenna (supplied) Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.
AM loop antenna (supplied) Keep it connected. Vinyl-covered wire (not supplied) Extend it horizontally. AM loop antenna (supplied) Turn it until the best reception is obtained.
Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 wire with coaxial type connector (IEC or DIN45325). Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords, or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.
If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System
Daily OperationsPlayback (see pages 7 to 9)
Listening to the Radio: If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased. When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again. Playing Back a Disc: When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray. This System cannot play packet write discs. For MP3 playback. MP3 discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.) Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions. When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format. This system can play back MP3 files with the extension code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter caseupper/ lower). It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps. Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from what you have intended when recording (see below). If a folder does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored. This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.

Hierarchy

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Playing Back a Portable Audio Device: When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the AUX jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if you can hear the sound from the speakers. In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component louder so that the System can detect the sound signal properly. Changing from AUX to another source while QP Link works will deactivate QP Link temporarily. In this case, the following reactivates QP Link: Pressing QP LINK on the remote control Unplugging the component from the AUX jack, then plugging it in again If you press STANDBY/ON to turn the System off or if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System will deactivate QP Link temporarily. In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link: When the sound signal from the AUX jack stops or is too weak for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off When you turn on the power again QP Link may start working when you just plug in the component to the AUX jack or unplug it. This is not a malfunction.

Cleaning the System

Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or have its paint peeled off, be careful about the following: DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. DO NOT wipe it forcefully. DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it. DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact for a long time. To remove the speaker grilles:

Holes Projections

Radio Operations:
Hard to hear broadcasts because of noise. ] Antennas connections are incorrect or loose. ] The AM loop antenna is too close to the System. ] The FM antenna is not properly extended and positioned.

Disc Operations:

The disc does not play. ] The disc is placed upside down. Place the disc with the label side up. ID3 Tag on an MP3 disc cannot be shown. ] There are two types of ID3 TagVersion 1 and Version 2. This System can only show ID3 Tag Version 1. MP3 groups and tracks are not played back as you expect. ] The playing order is determined when the disc was recorded. It depends on the writing application. The disc sound is discontinuous. ] The disc is scratched or dirty. The disc tray does not open or close. ] The AC power cord is not plugged in. ] Child Lock is in use (see page 15).
