MICRO COMPONENT SYSTEM

UX-F3B

—consists of CA-UXF3B and SP-UXF3BJ

Notes on the power cord

When you go away for an extended period of time, 
remove the plug from the wall outlet.
When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, 
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or 
moving the System.
Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything 
heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other 
accidents.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.
If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and 
remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your 
dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or 
electrical shock.
Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it 
near a heating device.



Lithium coin battery
(product number: 
CR2025)

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.

To a wall outlet

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

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.




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.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarities of the speaker terminals: red to (+) and black to (–).
DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to come into contact with the metallic parts of the System.




Notes on installation

Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor 
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C (41°F and 95°F).
Do not install the System in a place subject to vibrations.
Do not put heavy objects on the System.

To prevent malfunction or damage to the System

Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, 
coins, etc. into the System.
Do not block the vents.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything 
goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your 
dealer.
