AUXILIARY INPUT
This unit provides an auxiliary audio signal input jack for connecting external audio devices like
MP3 players, CD players and older, non-dockable iPods (except iPod shuffle 3
rd
gen) so you can
listen to your external source through the speakers of this system.
1. Use an audio cable (not included) with one 3.5 mm stereo plug on each end of the cable.
2. Plug one end into the Aux-in jack on the main unit and the other end of the cable into the
Line-out Jack or Headphone Jack of your external audio device.
3. Turn on the external audio device.
4. To select auxiliary audio input,
Press the FUNCTION button to select the PHONO/AUX
mode and the display shows “PH”
.
Note:
Make sure the tone arm of turntable is returned to the rest position before you plan to use
AUX IN mode.
5. The volume level can now be controlled through the main unit. Operate all other functions on
the auxiliary device as usual.
Note:
(1) If the Line Out Jack of your external device is connected, then you only need to adjust
the volume control of this system. If the Headphone Jack of your external device is
connected, then you may need to adjust both the volume control of your external
device and the volume control of this system to find the most desirable volume setting.
(2) Slide the MODE SWITCH to turn off the system when you finish listening. Don't forget
to switch off the power on your external device as well.
CARE AND MAINTAINENCE
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperatures.
2. Do not tamper with the internal components of the unit.
3. Clean the unit with a dry cloth. Solvents or detergents should never be used.
4. Avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
5. Keep the unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as
fluorescent lamps or motors.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming
– Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling
– Where the tape wraps itself around internal parts of the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following
precautions should be observed:
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the
cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers,
using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before
inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be
jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window).
These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the
cassette from one end to the other and back again.
Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil,
and do not touch the tape surfaces.
RECORD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To en
sure the best sound and the least amount of wear on your records, it’s essential that they
are kept clean. Make sure your records, especially older ones, are sufficiently cleaned prior to
playing them.
Thoroughly clean dust off the stylus and record regularly.
Use a soft brush to clean the stylus. Brush from the base to the tip as shown below.
