Here are basic and common things that apply to all the functions of the unit.
Setting the Clock
You can set the clock whether the unit is turned on or in standby mode.
On the unit ONLY:
1 Press CLOCK/TIMER.
The hour digit in the main display starts flashing.
2 Rotate the right jog dial to adjust the hour, then press SET.
•If you want to correct the hour after pressing SET, press CANCEL. The hour digit starts flashing again.
3 Rotate the right jog dial to adjust the minute, then press SET.
To adjust the clock again
Once you have adjusted the clock, you need to press CLOCK/TIMER nine times until the clock setting mode is selected (the hour digit starts flashing).
If there is a power failure
The clock loses the setting and is reset to “0:00.” You need to set the clock again.
Turning On the Power and Selecting the Sources
When you press the play button (#/8) for a particular source, the unit automatically turns on (and starts playing the source).
To select the external equipment as the source, press TAPE or AUX so that the unit automatically turns on.
To turn on the unit without playing, press so that the
STANDBY lamp goes off.
To turn off the unit (on standby), press again so that the STANDBY lamp lights red.
A little power is always consumed even while the unit is in standby mode.
To switch off the power supply completely, unplug the
AC power cord from the AC outlet.
When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs
The clock is reset to “0:00” right away, while the tuner preset stations and other settings will be erased in a few days.
Adjusting the Volume
You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on.
Turn VOLUME clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.
When using the remote control, press VOLUME to increase the volume or press VOLUME to decrease it.
For private listening
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on the headphones.
DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the unit or start playing any source.
REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the unit is in standby mode.
To turn down the volume level temporarily
Press FADE MUTING on the remote control. To restore the sound, press the button again.
