Connecting a Portable Audio Device

Troubleshooting Maintenance

This System has LINE IN/OUT jacks to connect a portable audio device.	NOTE
Connect between the device and the System by using the stereo mini plug cord (not supplied).	If an external device is not equipped with a stereo mini plug audio output, use a plug adaptor to convert the stereo mini plug
	to the corresponding plug of the audio output.
IMPORTANT:
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the
owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or
artistic embodied therein.

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

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.

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 strong.

– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides
