should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions ­ The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings ­ All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions ­ All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning ­ Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
The
appliance
should
be
cleaned
only
as
recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Attachments ­ Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture ­ Do not use the appliance near water ­
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and
the like.
8. Accessories ­ Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least
20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding ­ If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna
or cable 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 regard 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 1.
15. Lightning ­ For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines ­ An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Never push objects of any kind into
the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing ­ Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service ­ Unplug the appliance form the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance ­ this indicates a need for service.

station.
3. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean
cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area
where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform
to local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the
voltage of the power supply in your area before plugging in the
unit.
Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries.
A built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents
of memory during power failures and even when the POWER
switch is set to OFF (other than USA and Canadian models) or
when the power cord is unplugged.
The power cord must be plugged and the POWER switch must
be set to ON (other than USA and Canadian models) in order to
charge the backups system. The memory preservation period
after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate
and placement of the unit. On average, memory contents are
protected over a period of a few weeks after the time the unit has
been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed
to a very humid climate.

Setting the voltage selector (Worldwide models
only)
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform
with local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the
voltage of the power supply in your area before plugging in the unit.
Determine the proper voltage for your area: 220-230 V or 120 V. If
the preset voltage is not correct for your area, insert a screwdriver
into the groove in the switch. Slide the switch all the way to the
upper (120 V) or to the lower (220-230 V), whichever is appropriate.
Setting the AM tuning step frequency
(Worldwide models only)
Refer to page 24 to set the AM tuning step frequency correctly.
Inserting the batteries
1 Detach the battery cover.
2 Insert the two size AA/R6/UM3 batteries.

Notes
· Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of
batteries.
· To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote
controller is not to be used for a long time.
· Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from
corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,
replace both batteries at the same time.
· The life of the supplied batteries is about six months but this
varies depending on usage.
Using the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The
STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from
the remote controller.
Notes
· Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
