Miscellaneous problems

When the system is installed near a television set, magnetic influence from the speakers may cause the television’s picture to be distorted. This symptom frequently occurs when using an indoor antenna; in this event, install an outdoor antenna, or separate the system farther from the television.

Static electricity and other outside electrical influences may cause the system to operate incorrectly. In such cases, unplugging and reconnecting the power cord may help correct the problem.

More than one of the same kind of component (CD tuner, MD recorder, CD recorder or cassette deck) cannot be connected at the same time.
