Before using this System

Precautions

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

Notes on installing the System

• Select a location which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5°C and 35°C.

• Do not install the System in a location subject to vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the System.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

• Do not install the System in moist or dusty locations.

• If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

To prevent malfunctions or damage to the System

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.

• Do not block the vents.

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power is always consumed while 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.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or moving the

System.

• Do not modify, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

About copyright laws

Observe the copyright laws in your country before recording from original sources. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

About the copyguard system

The discs are protected by the copyguard system. When connecting the System to a TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR, the copyguard system activates and distortion of the picture may occur.

Notes on installing and using the speakers

• Place the speakers and subwoofer on a flat and level surface.

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted, perform the following procedure:

– Turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least

30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above procedure. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. To avoid color distortion, do not place it near the TV or monitor.

• When moving the speakers and subwoofer, do not pull the speaker cords. Doing so may cause the speakers and/or subwoofer to fall over, causing damage or injury.

• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have them installed by qualified personnel. DO NOT install the speakers on a wall by yourself.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as they could fall down or break, possibly causing an injury. Be especially careful that children do not lean against them.

About the adjustment of volume

Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound could permanently damage your hearing and/ or blow out the speakers.

To clean the System

• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths.

• If the System is heavily stained, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

Receiving FM stations with Radio

Data System

Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

With the system, you can receive the following types of

Radio Data System signals.

PS (Program

Service)

PTY (Program

Type)

Switching temporarily to a program of your choice automatically

Another convenient Radio Data System service is called

“Enhanced Other Network.”

This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a different station.

• The Enhanced Other Network works while listening to an

FM station providing the required signals.

The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset stations.

Select the program type(s).

Each time you press the button, the corresponding indicator on the display lights.

TA

News

Info

Traffic announcement in your area

News

Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.

How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works

Case 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected

The system continues tuning in to the current station.

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station.

The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.

Case 2

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected

The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced

Other Network

Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display.

The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an FM station

The system automatically tunes in to the station and

“ALARM” is shown on the display while the system receives the emergency broadcast.

Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-Radio Data System stations—all AM (MW) stations and some FM stations.

• When you select any source other than “FM.”

• When the system is in standby mode.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can receive the ALARM signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.

While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.

In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to

Enhanced Other Network standby mode.

Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.

Enhanced Other Network does not function for some

FM stations with Radio Data System service.

While listening to a program tuned in by the

Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced

Other Network data.

While listening to a program tuned in by the

Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use

TA/News/Info and DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.

When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other

Network function still remains activated.
