serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the
appliance.
20. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operating
condition.
17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside antenna is
connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with respect 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. See Figure.

Handling of discs and tapes
XD-SERIES (EN/M,T)
Disc handling precautions
Discs which can be played with this unit
CD (12 cm, 8 cm), and the audio part of CDV, CD-G, CD-EG
and CD-EXTRA.
Handling
Hold the discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
Use discs that comply with the IEC standard, for example
a disc carrying the
marking on the label surface.
Label side
Playing side
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.
Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed
disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Please do not use discs which are not round because they
may cause a malfunction.
Sticker
Do not attach paper or tape to ei-
ther the playing side or the label side
of the discs.
Pprasection
Sticky paste
Disc accessories
Cleaning
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protec-
tion ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should
not be used with this system because they may cause
malfunction.
If fingerprints or foreign matter be-
come attached to the disc, lightly
wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth
(or similar) from the center of the disc
outwards in a radial manner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for
a long period of time, remove it from
the player and store it in its case.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished, break the
safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being
erased or recorded on accidentally.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to
direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
For A side
For B side
When there is slack in the tape
Insuchacase,insertapencilintothereelholeandwind
the reel hub to remove the slack.
Apply tape only to the position where
the tab has been removed.
To re-record
1.Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be
easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
2.Endless tapes
NNootteess
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.

RDS is a system which transmits useful informa-
tion (digital data) for FM broadcasts together
with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers
designed for RDS reception can extract the in-
formation from the broadcast signal for use with
various functions such as automatic display of
the station name.
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data:

etc. are improved clearly, and the listening area also is widened.
Alpasection
* DSP (Digital Signal Processor) playback (XD-6...series, XD-8...series)
The DSP mode uses the digital processing capability of the DSP to create the reverberation components (factors
of sound reflections in a variety of spaces), that determine the feeling of presence, without altering the quality of
the music source.
The DSP mode creates the ambiance of a hall, disco, live house or church from any kind of program source. This
mode is particularly effective when listening to a stereo program source such as a CD, TV and FM broadcasting.
Although the DSP mode can create a simulated stereo surround effect from a monaural source, the proper effect
may not be obtained depending on the played software.
