BLUE: NEUTRAL BROWN: LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains tead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your phug proceed as follows. The wire which ‘5 co!- aured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Bi ACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the ter- minal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED This apparatus was produced to 8S 800. Insertion of remote-control transmitter batteries | 1. Open the cover. | 2. Insert the batteries. * Be sure to insert according to the (+) and(—) indications in the battery com- partment. + Use two UM-3 “AA” (R6 1.5 V) size batteries. 3. Close the cover. Remote-control transmitter operation notes M Battery life Battery life is about one year. (Battery life may vary depending upon the frequency of use and other conditions of usé.) The batteries should be replaced if the unit cannot be operated even when the remote- control transmitter is brought close to the unit. E Battery notes * Be sure that batteries are inserted so that they are placed correctly with respect to the (+) and (—) indications In the battery compartment. If the batteries are not in- serted correctly, they may leak and damage the remote-control transmitter. + Do not use rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) type batteries.

Use the remots-control transmit- ter within 6 meters (20 ft.). Face it toward the remote-control signal receptor of this unit. Be sure the transmitter part of the remote-control transmitter and the receptor part of this unit are free from dust. Excessive dust might prevent reception. 60° 6 meters (20 f1) {Obstacles should be avoided.) a | | Avoid dust. a ess = CITÉS +7 — Other notes 1. Do not expose the receptor (on this unit) to direct sunlight or other strong light, because to do so might result in in correct operation. 2. Do not use a remote-control transmitter for a TV set, a VCR or other video compo- nent at the same time as this remote-con- trol transmitter is being used, because to do sa might result in incorrect operatlon. 3. If this unit is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’ thickness or col- or might make it necessary to use the remote-control transmitter a shorter distance from the unit, 4. The controi panel of the remote-control transmitter may be covered by a clear plastic protective sheet. This sheet can be removed if deslred. Turntable Assembly 3.

Memory Presettings The Indication AM used here includes both MW and LW. [ when broadcast frequencies have been preset to the memory, any of those broadcast frequencies can thereafter be easily selected by simply pressing one of the preset-tuning buttons. There are two methods for presetiing broadcast frequencies in the Memory: the automatic method {see below) and the manual method (refer to page 9); select whichever method you prefer. 4 Memory indicator When this method is used, the frequencies of the selected broad- cast stations are automatically preset {in sequence to higher fre- quencies} into the memary: “channels” 1 10 24 are avaitable for the presetting of FM stations, “channels” 13 to 24 are available for MW stations, and “channels” 19 to 24 are available for LW stations.

For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth in a weak soap-and-water solution and wring well. After cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, ar a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage the unit's finish. I Suggestions for Safety M Use a standard AC wall outlet 1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for an air conditioner, is very dangerous. There Is the possibility that a fire might be caused by making such a connection. 2. A DC power source cannot be used. Be sure to check the power source carefully. especiaily on a ship or other place where DC is used. Ml Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply cord 1. Wat hands are dangerous. A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands. 2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord, and never force 11 to bend sharply. IN Place the unit where it will be well ventilated Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wal! surfaces, etc. El Avold places such as the following: In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature Is high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity. Such conditions might damage tha cabine! and/or other compo. —— — nent parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
