Connections

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.

Preparations

Preparing the remote control

Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.

Basic Operations

• In this manual, operations using the remote control

are mainly explained; however, you can use the buttons

and controls on the main unit if they have the same (or

similar) name and marks.
STANDBY lampTurns off: The System is turned on.Lights in red: The System is on standby.

Supplied Accessories

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items.•FM antenna (×1)•AM loop antenna (×1)•Composite video cord (×1)•Remote control; RM-SNXD2J (×1)•Batteries (×2)If any items are missing, consult your dealer immediately.

AM/FM antenna

AM loop antenna (supplied)

Turn it until the best reception is obtained.

FM antenna (supplied)Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.To assemble the AM loop antenna

TV/monitor

•Connect your TV directly to the System. Connecting the System to a TV via other device, such as a VCR or an HDD/DVD recorder, may interfere with your viewing. Connecting an integrated TV/VCR system to the System may also interfere with your viewing.

YellowComposite video cord (supplied)

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace both batteries.

Caution:

Be careful your children do not put the batteries into their mouths.

• Button and control operations are explained in the table

below.

button for a specified period.

Indicates that you slide your finger on the volume jog in the specified direction(s).

How to cancel the demonstration

Press and hold ECO/DEMO button on the main unit (until “DEMO CLEAR” appears on the display) while on standby.

•When the ECO Mode is activated, the demonstration does not work.•Refer to the attached sheet “Information about the demonstration function.”
When using the remote control

Point the top of the remote control towards the remote sensor as directly as possible. If you operate it from a diagonal position, the operating range (about 5 m and/or 16

•Selecting a source (see below) while in standby mode also turns on the System.

Selecting the Source

On the main unit

(Touch to select)

On the remote

Keep the AM loop antenna cable wrapped around the AM loop antenna frame, otherwise the effectiveness and sensitivity of the AM loop antenna may be reduced.

For better FM reception, disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector (not supplied).

feet) may be shorter.

DO NOT turn off the System with the volume set at an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound may damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the System or start playback.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack on the main unit. The sound will no longer come out of the speakers. “HPHONE IN” appears on the display for a while. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on the headphones.

•Disconnecting the headphones will activate the speakers again.

•When using the headphones with the L-shaped plug, connect it with the head of the plug facing the right side as illustrated below.

Motion Sensor

When you move your hand close to the remote sensor in the following cases, the illumination on the front panel turns on.

•While the System is on standby.•When “DIMMER 1” or “DIMMER 2” is selected.To activate or deactivate the motion sensor, pressMOTION SENSOR.

•When the motion sensor is activated, “SELECT SOURCE” appears on the display while on standby.

•When the motion sensor is deactivated, the clock is shown on the display while on standby.

•When the ECO Mode is activated, the motion sensor does not work.

Adjusting the Volume

Troubleshooting

General

Adjustments or settings are suddenly canceled before you finish.]There is a time limit. Repeat procedure again.Operations are disabled.

]The built-in microprocessor may malfunction due to external electrical interference. Unplug the power cord and then plug it back in.

Unable to operate the System from the remote control. ]The path between the remote control and the remote

sensor on the System is blocked. ]The batteries are exhausted.

No sound is heard.]Speaker connections are incorrect or loose. ]Headphones are connected.No picture appears on the TV screen.
Disc/USB Device Playback Operations
The disc does not play.]The disc is placed upside down. Place the disc with the label side facing up.ID3 Tag on an MP3 file cannot be shown.

]Two types of ID3 Tag exist—Version 1 and Version 2. This System can only show ID3 Tag Version 1.

Tracks are not played back as you expect.

]The playing order is determined when the groups and tracks were recorded. It depends on the writing application.

MP3, WMA files are not played back.

]The disc or the USB device may contain different types of files (ex. MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG).

The disc sound is discontinuous.]The disc is scratched or dirty.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs clean.

Handling Discs

•Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

•Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

•Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

•Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cleaning the System

•Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

•Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

–DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.–DO NOT wipe it forcefully.–DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.–DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.–DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact for a long time.

Changing the Display Brightness

You can dim the display and illumination lamp. Setting DIMMER allows you to reduce power consumption.

DIMMER 1 Dims the display and the blue illumination on the main unit.

DIMMER 2 Dims the display more than DIMMER 1 and turns off the blue illumination on the main unit.

DIMMER OFF Normal brightness.

Setting the ECO (Ecology) Mode

Setting the ECO Mode allows you to reduce power consumption by turning the display off while on standby.

While the System is on standby...
