To Adjust the Audio Input Level

If the sound from the Digital Audio Player connected to the AUDIO IN jack is too loud or too quiet, you can change the audio input level through the AUDIO IN jack (without changing the volume level).

Press and hold for more than 2 seconds while “AUDIO IN” is selected as the source.

You can select one of three levels as follows:As the number increases, the sound becomes louder.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device(see page 4)This System cannot play “packet write” discs.For MP3/WMA playback...

In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used for MP3/WMA operations.

This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).

MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)

Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

Do not use the following USB devices...Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.Equipped with special functions such as data security functions.Divided by 2 or more partitions.For the USB mass storage class device playback...When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also refer to its manual.

Connect one USB mass storage class device to the System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.

This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.

You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).

You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.

This System may not play back some USB mass storage class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management).

This System can recognize up to 99 groups in a disc. The total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that can be recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/WMA).

This System can recognize up to 99 groups and 9 999 tracks (with a maximum number of 255 tracks in a group) in a USB mass storage class device.

The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this

 

happens, readjust the clock.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure

 

occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. You need

 

to set the clock first, then the timer again.
Timer Priority:

If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

Setting the Clock and Using Timers

The following operations are explained using the remote control, unless mentioned otherwise. However, if the System has the same or similar button names, they can also be used for the operations.

Setting the Clock
Without setting the built-in clock, you cannot use Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.• “0:00” flashes on the main display until you set the clock.

Troubleshooting

If you are having a problem with your System, check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.

General
Power does not come on.\Power plug is not inserted securely. Plug in securely.Adjustments or settings are suddenly canceled before you finish.\There is a time limit. Repeat the procedure again.Operations are disabled.

\The built-in microprocessor may malfunction due to external electrical interference. Unplug the AC 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.The System does not work properly.

\Many functions of this System are implemented by microcomputers. If the System does not work correctly, disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet, wait for a while, and connect the cord again.

Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device Operations
The disc/USB mass storage class device does not play.\The disc is placed upside down. Place the disc with the label side up.

\The disc is recorded with the “packet writing (UDF file system).” It cannot be played. Check the files you want to play back.

\The USB mass storage class device is not connected properly.MP3/WMA groups and tracks are not played back as you expect.

\Playing order is determined when the groups and tracks were recorded. It depends on the writing application.

The disc/USB mass storage class device sound is discontinuous.\The disc is scratched or dirty.

\MP3/WMA files have not been properly copied into the USB mass storage class device.

Sounds from USB mass storage class device are interrupted.

\Noise and static electricity may stop the sound. In this case, disconnect and connect the USB mass storage class device again after turning off the System.

The disc tray does not open or close.\The AC power cord is not plugged in.\Disc ejection is prohibited (see page 4).
Radio Operations
Hard to listen to broadcasts because of noise.\Antennas connections are incorrect or loose.\The AM loop antenna is too close to the System.\The FM antenna is not properly extended and positioned.

\Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause noise. If this happens, turn off and on the System again.

Timer Operations
Daily Timer does not work.

\The System has been turned on when the on-time comes. Timer starts working only when the System is turned off.

Maintenance

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

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

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, 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 hard.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.
