Maintenance

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

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, become 
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the 
following:

DO NOT wipe it hard.
DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
DO NOT apply any volatile substances such as 
insecticides to it.
DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact 
for a long time.

Getting started

For better FM reception

Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied) 
using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector (IEC or DIN45325).

To a wall outlet

FM antenna (supplied): Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.

NOTES:

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

Sound and other adjustments

Precautions

Connections 

Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

In this manual...

The remote control buttons are used for explaining the 
operations unless mentioned otherwise. However, if the 
System has the same or similar button names, they can
