Basic operations
Note:
The lighting condition for the STANDBY
indicator and the 
display differs depending on the power source.
* If no source is playing and no operation is done for about 4 
minutes, “DC OFF” starts flashing on the display for about one 
minute before the system turns off automatically (except when 
the source is FM/AM or AUX (D PLAYER), or when the 
microphone (or guitar) is used).
Press ON/STANDBY.
•When the system is operated on batteries or car battery (DC12V), 
press   ON/STANDBY on the system.
The STANDBY indicator goes out when the system is operated on 
AC power.
The display comes on and the system is ready to continue in the 
mode it was in when the power was last turned off.
Press ON/STANDBY again.
The STANDBY indicator lights up when the system is operated on 
AC power.
• When the AC power is used, the CLOCK indicator and the time 
are displayed without backlighting.
■
Some power is always consumed even though power is turned 
off (called standby mode).
■
To disconnect the system from mains (AC) supply completely, 
unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When you 
unplug the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to “0:00” if no 
memory backup batteries are installed.
You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.
Turn the VOLUME +/– control clockwise to 
increase the volume or turn it 
counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Press VOLUME + to increase the volume or 
press VOLUME – to decrease it.
When you press and hold VOLUME + or –, the volume changes 
rapidly.
CAUTION: DO NOT start playing any source 
without first setting the volume to minimum, as a 
sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, 
speakers and/or headphones.
For private listening
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack on the rear of 
the system (see page 6). No sound comes out of the speakers.
Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on 
headphones.
