A 45-station preset capability 30 FM and 15 AM in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning. A user-friendly timer lets you wake or fall asleep to music. The CD Player can play back a CD-R and CD-RW. How This Manual Is Organized

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section ‘Common Operations’, and not repeated under each function. • The names of buttons/controls are written in all capital letters: e.g. TUNER BAND. • If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on which the button is used will be omitted. • System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play. Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require. We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Where to place the Unit • Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold (between 5°C and 35°C). • Leave sufficient distance between the Unit and a TV. • Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations. 2. Power cord • Do not handle the power cord with wet hands! • Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet. • When unplugging the Unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord. 3. Malfunctions, etc. • There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer. • Do not insert any metallic object into the System.
