If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (me- chanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunc- tion.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1.Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.

2.If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape head, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Clearing all the memory (reset)

1.Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power standby mode. 2.Push the "RESET" switch.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer setting, tuner preset and CD programme.
