Before using this System  
Precautions  
Notes on installing and using the speakers  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything  
goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your  
dealer.  
• Place the speakers and subwoofer on a flat and level  
surface.  
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color  
distortions on TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted,  
perform the following procedure:  
– Turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it  
before installing the speakers. Then wait at least  
30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power  
switch again.  
Notes on installing the System  
• Select a location which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold between 5°C and 35°C.  
• Do not install the System in a location subject to  
vibrations.  
• Do not put heavy objects on the System.  
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have  
followed the above procedure. If this happens, move the  
speakers away from the TV.  
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high  
temperatures  
• Do not install the System in moist or dusty locations.  
• 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.  
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. To avoid  
color distortion, do not place it near the TV or monitor.  
• When moving the speakers and subwoofer, do not pull the  
speaker cords. Doing so may cause the speakers and/or  
subwoofer to fall over, causing damage or injury.  
• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have  
them installed by qualified personnel. DO NOT install the  
speakers on a wall by yourself.  
• Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near  
a heating device.  
To prevent malfunctions or damage to the System  
• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins,  
coins, etc. into the System.  
• Do not lean against the speakers, as they could fall down  
or break, possibly causing an injury. Be especially careful  
that children do not lean against them.  
• Do not block the vents.  
About the adjustment of volume  
Notes on the power cord  
Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting  
any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden  
blast of sound could permanently damage your hearing and/  
or blow out the speakers.  
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended  
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A  
small amount of power is always consumed while the  
power cord is connected to the wall outlet.  
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always  
pull the plug, not the power cord.  
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or moving the  
System.  
• Do not modify, twist or pull the power cord, or put  
anything heavy on it. Doing so may cause fire, electric  
shock, or other accidents.  
To clean the System  
• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the  
use of chemically-coated cloths.  
• If the System is heavily stained, apply a small amount of  
water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then  
wipe with a dry cloth.  
• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and  
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or  
discoloring.  
About copyright laws  
Observe the copyright laws in your country before recording  
from original sources. Recording of copyrighted material  
may infringe copyright laws.  
About the copyguard system  
The discs are protected by the copyguard system. When  
connecting the System to a TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a  
built-in VCR, the copyguard system activates and distortion  
of the picture may occur.

Searching for a program by PTY

One of the advantages of the Radio Data System service is  
that you can locate a particular kind of program from the  
Receiving FM stations with Radio  
Data System  
Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional  
signal along with their regular program signals. For  
example, the stations send their station names, as well as  
information about what type of program they broadcast, such  
as sports or music, etc.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced  
Other Network  
Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program  
type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display.  
The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby  
mode and goes back to the previously selected station.  
Switching temporarily to a program of  
your choice automatically  
Another convenient Radio Data System service is called  
“Enhanced Other Network.”  
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast  
program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a  
different station.  
• The Enhanced Other Network works while listening to an  
FM station providing the required signals.  
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent  
from an FM station  
The system automatically tunes in to the station and  
“ALARM” is shown on the display while the system  
receives the emergency broadcast.  
The Enhanced Other Network function is only  
applicable to preset stations.  
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the  
following cases:  
Select the program type(s).  
• When you are listening to non-Radio Data System  
stations—all AM (MW) stations and some FM stations.  
• When you select any source other than “FM.”  
• When the system is in standby mode.  
Each time you press the button, the corresponding  
indicator on the display lights.  
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it  
can receive the ALARM signal correctly  
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as  
the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the  
system automatically switches to the station broadcasting  
the TEST signal.  
TA  
Traffic announcement in your area  
News  
News  
Program the purpose of which is to impart

Info  
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the  
display.  
How the Enhanced Other Network function  
actually works  
In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you  
change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network  
standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change  
the source to FM again, the system returns to  
Enhanced Other Network standby mode.  
Enhanced Other Network data sent from some  
stations may not be compatible with this system.  
Enhanced Other Network does not function for some  
FM stations with Radio Data System service.  
While listening to a program tuned in by the  
Enhanced Other Network function, the station does  
not change even if another network station starts  
broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced  
Other Network data.  
Case 1  
If there is no station broadcasting the program you  
have selected  
The system continues tuning in to the current station.  
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have  
selected, the system automatically switches to the station.  
The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.  
When the program is over, the system goes back to the  
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network  
function still remains activated.  
While listening to a program tuned in by the  
Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use  
TA/News/Info and DISPLAY as the tuner operation  
buttons.  
Case 2  
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting  
the program you have selected  
The system continues to receive the station but the  
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.  
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY  
code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other  
Network function still remains activated.
