are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing  
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-  
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug.  
8. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be  
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused  
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
19.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or  
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the an-  
tenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some  
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

provides information with regard to proper grounding of the  
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire  
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,  
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Depending on the properties of the JPEG file and the recording status, the image may not be displayed correctly.  
Never add the wrong extension log to any files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud  
noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.  
Confirming media and files  
Check to ascertain that MP3/WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the  
media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.  
When saving files onto media

them.  
÷
÷
÷
÷

It is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording MP3/WMA/JPEG files onto a media.  
In case of a multisession disc, some time may be required until playback begins.  
There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3/WMA/JPEG files (CD-ROM) and music CD infomation (CD-DA) are saved  
on the same media.

Sound equalization  
Mid-highrange(band5:2.5kHz)  
Super bass range (band 1: 63Hz)  
This range is related to stimulus and metallic sound.  
When this range is well compensated, vivid sound  
can be obtained.  
When this control is moved up, the sound from bass  
instruments such as a bass guitar becomes deep and  
stable. When the super bass sound is boomy, move  
this control down.  
A
Highrange(band6:6.3kHz)  
This frequency range is related to hardness of the  
sound. When this control is moved up, strings or  
brass instruments, such as flutes or piccolos, are em-  
phasized. When the control is moved down, the  
sound will be more soothing.  
Bass range (band 2: 160Hz)  
Usually, the listening room resonance frequency is in  
this range. To eliminate bass resonance, move this  
control down.  
Mid bass range (band 3: 400Hz)  
Superhighrange(band7:16kHz)  
This range is the basis of music, whether the sound is  
rich or not, depends on this range. When the playback  
sound is not so good, moving this control up slightly  
makes the sound sonorous.  
This frequency range is related to the width and de-  
tails of the music. When this control is moved up, su-  
per high frequency instruments, such as triangles or  
cymbals, are emphasized, resulting in wide sound and  
echoes.  
K
Midrange(band4:1kHz)  
When this control is moved up or down, the baritone or  
soprano voice is emphasized/de-emphasized. This  
range is related to the "presence" of music.
