Hints for Better Reception  
FM - Make sure that the telescopic FM Rod Antenna is raised and extended to its full length. You may  
have to vary the direction of the antenna to find the strongest signal for each FM station. If you are listening  
to weak or distant FM Stereo station and reception is unsatisfactory, press the ST/MONO button to the FM  
(Mono) on the remote control . This will normally provide an improvement in reception, although the sound  
will no longer be in stereo.  
Install battery  
1. Open the battery cover to remove it.  
2. Insert two AAA batteries (not included) correctly so that the + and - polarities match the polarity diagrams  
inside the battery compartment.  
AM - The AM ferrite bar antenna is located inside the cabinet. It may be necessary to turn the unit slightly  
so that the internal antenna is point in the direction of the AM transmitter. You may have to experiment  
to find the position that provides the strongest reception for each of your favorite AM stations.  
Note:  
* About half a year of normal operation can be expected when using the general batteries.  
* When the batteries are exhausted, the commander should no longer operate the system. Replace both batteries  
with new ones.  
* When the commander is not to be use for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery  
leakage and corrosion.  
* Avoid keeping the commander in extremely hot or humid locations.  
* Between remote controller and remote sensor there should be no obstacle and have to within 30,, range.  
* The remote controller,s operating distance is about 0.2M to 6M away from the remote sensor.

MAKING A TAPE RECORDING  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
The tape recorder in this system allows you to make direct recordings from the radio or CD player to a  
blank cassette in the tape compartment. An automatic recording volume level control (ALC) circuit will  
automatically control the volume level of your recordings to prevent distortion. You may change the settings  
of the volume during a tape recording, as these controls have no effect on the material being recorded onto  
the tape.  
SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE  
When a new recording is make, any program  
material previously recorded is automatically  
erased and only the new recording remains. To  
safeguard valuable recordings from being erased  
accidentally, the cassette and the deck are  
equipped with a spacial device.  
To make a tape recording, proceed as follows:  
Tab for side 1  
On the back of the cassette there is an erase  
prevention tab on each side. To prevent  
accidental erasing, break out these tabs wish  
a screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to  
be protected break out the tab on the left side  
with the side desired facing you.

CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS  
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30),30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side.  
Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use  
only high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if  
the problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.  
If there is any stack in the tape in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place  
a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate toward the outside of the cassette until all stack is taken up.
