electrical appliances, such as an iron or toaster, to it to
prevent fire or electric shock.
POWER OFF!
Pprasection
15.Damage requiring service – The appliance should be
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.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally by

manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
23. Safety check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety
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.

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

Disc accessories
Cleaning
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring,
etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or pro-
tecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with
this system because they may cause malfunction.
If fingerprints or foreign matter become
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

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.

various functions such as automatic display of
the station name.
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data:
