Introduction

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

How to Read This Manual

To assemble and connect the AM loop antenna

To assemble the AM loop antenna

To connect the speaker cords

• When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

To connect the AM loop antenna cords

1 Hold

3 Release

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.

• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers.

2 Insert

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor condition.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback

(see pages 8 to 11)

Listening to the Radio:

• When you repeatedly press

¢

/

4

(TUNING +/– on the unit), the frequency changes step by step.

• 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 station again.

Playing Back a Disc:

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

• For MP3 playback...

– MP3 discs are required 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 result from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or level 2 for disc format.

– This System can play back MP3 files with the extension code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper or lower).

– It is recommended that you make each MP3 files at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

– This System manages files and folders as “tracks” and

“groups.”

– This System can recognize up to 255 groups per disc (up to

999 tracks).

• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows:

Ex.: When DISC 2 is pressed:

DISC 2

]

DISC 3

]

DISC 4

]

DISC 5

]

DISC 1

(then stops)

* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is skipped.

• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another disc.

• If the MP3 file has ID3 Tags, the disc information (track title, performer name and album name) will be shown after the file name appears.

Playing Back a Tape:

• Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank between each tunes, so it will not work well in the following cases:

– No blank at the beginning of a tunes.

– Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank.

– Long, very soft passages or pauses in a tunes.

Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments


Adjusting the Volume:

• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

• While listening with the headphones, you cannot adjust the subwoofer level.

22

• This function does not affect recording.

• You can adjust the subwoofer level while RHTHYM AX is on.

• The subwoofer lamp changes brightness according to the subwoofer level.

Selecting the Sound Modes:

• The sound mode lamp and Surround mode lamp change brightness according to selecting sound mode.

Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the setting will be erased in a few days. If this happens, set the user modes again.

Setting the clock:

“AM 12:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

Turning Off the Power Automatically:

• If you turn off the System, Sleep Timer is canceled.

Advanced Disc Operations


Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

• While programming steps...

– If you try to program a disc number which tray is not loaded,

“NO READ” appears on the display and your entry will be ignored.

– Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). Such entries are ignored, and are erased from the program.

Advanced Tape Operations

(see pages 18 and 19)

Recording on a Tape:

• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you can adjust the sound (volume, sound mode, RHYTHM AX and subwoofer level) you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level during recording.

• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start and end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

• If no cassette is inserted, “NO TAPE” appears on the display.

If a protected tape has been inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.

• When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in the forward (

3

) direction first; otherwise, recording will stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.

• You cannot change the source while recording. If you want to change the source, stop recording.

Synchronized Disc Recording:

• Everything on the disc goes onto the tape in the order on the disc, or according to the order you have made for Program

Play.

• When recording starts, “CD REC” appears on the display and the REC (recording) indicator flashes.

• When the tape reaches its end in the forward direction (

3

) during recording, the last song will be re-recorded at the beginning of the reverse side (

2

).

• When the tape reaches its end in the reverse side (

2

) during recording, recording stops even though the entire disc is not entirely recorded.


Timer Operations (see pages 20 and 21)

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source after Recording Timer starts recording.

• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

• If Sleep Timer is set to come on while Recording timer is operating, Sleep Timer will not come on at all.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Handling cassette tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or speaker, or near a magnet.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:

• Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers.

• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System turned off).

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 water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, it become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

– DO NOT wipe it strong.

– 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 with it for a long time.
