Thank you for purchasing this car audio product.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have just purchased is only the start
of your musical enjoyment. Now it is time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers.
We hope you get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blare or distortion, and, more importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound levels can be misleading. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes
of sound. So, what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at the lowest setting, then slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the
future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This product features a number of sophisticated functions ensuring superior reception and
operation. All are designed for the easiest possible use, but many are not self-explanatory.
This operation manual is intended to help you benefit fully from their potential and to
maximize your listening enjoyment.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the functions and their operation by
reading through this manual before you begin using this product. The Basic Operation
for each sound source is outlined at the beginning of its explanation, covering simple
operation for that source, such as playing music.
Note:
In addition to normal audio CDs, this unit can play CD-R and CD-R/W disc that contain
audio tracks. However, depending on the conditions of the recording equipment,
the recording program, or the CD-R or CD-R/W disc itself, some CD-R or CD-R/W
discs may not play.
When making music CDs with CD-R or CD-R/W discs, too high a recording speed may
result in poor signal quality. It is therefore recommended to select a speed of 24x or lower
for CD-R recording and 4x or lower for CD-R/W recording.
