Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: • Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. Placement of speakers Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary. Before use Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Use of batteries • Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the batteries. • Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. • Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries. • Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to contact with flame or water. • Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time. • Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces. • Do not use rechargeable type batteries. • Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off. Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any part of your body. Correct method of use Remote control signal sensor Notes • Keep your speakers at least 10mm (13/32˝) away from the system for proper ventilation. • These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism. • To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off. Transmission window About 7 meters in front of the signal sensor. Operation notes • Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor and remote control unit. • Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light. • Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and the end of the remote control unit free from dust. • If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote control unit a shorter distance from the system. To prevent damage • Never place heavy items on top of the unit. • Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit. • Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit. RQT6885(2-10)new3.P65 5 1/17/03, 5:04 PM 5 RQT6885 Connections • Plug the AC power supply cord into a household AC outlet only after all other connections have been made. • To prepare the AM loop antenna wire and speaker cords, twist the vinyl cover tip and pull off. 1 2 Before use (R) (L) 1 3 Tape the antenna to a wall or column, in a position where radio signals are received with the least amount of interference.

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3. Note • When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature is off. • Noise may occur when playing WMA files. Limitations on MP3/WMA play • This unit is not compatible with packet-write format. • When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over a number of sessions: • If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, the unit will play from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the session before the first CD-DA recordings. • If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play only the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions will be ignored. • You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play and search function. • Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of the disc or recording. • Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded them.
