How This Manual Is Organized

and not repeated under each function.

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

· If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted.

· 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.

· 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.

· There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
