I The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, freeing you to

just enjoy the music.

How This Manual Is Organized

· Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section

`Basic Operations', and not repeated under each function.

· The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, "CD NO DISC".

· System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.

We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

WARNINGS

· DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THE PANEL. IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITH SOMETHING PUT

ON THE PANEL, IT WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE PANEL.

· SUPPLIED SPEAKERS ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS SYSTEM. USING WITH OTHER DEVICES WILL

DAMAGE THE SPEAKERS.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1 Installation of the System

· Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV.

· Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.

2 Power cord

· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

· Some power is always consumed as long as 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.

3 Malfunctions, etc.

· Do not insert any metallic object into the System.

· Do not insert your hand between the Panel and the main body when the Panel is being closed.
