CAUTION:
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers,
electric motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do
not expose to rain and water.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into
the set, contact your dealer.
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air
circulation. Do not interfere with its proper ventilation;
this will cause the internal temperature to rise and may
result in a failure.
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When
moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on
common operating errors before concluding that your
unit is faulty.
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when
the power switch is turned off. We recommend that you
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is
not going to be used for a long time. This will save
electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect
the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the
cord itself.
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical
storm.
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other
equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the
system farther away from such equipment if
interference is observed.

Listening for a Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've
just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoy-
ment. Now it's time to consider how you can maxi-
mize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.
VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear with-
out annoying blaring or distortion and, most important-
ly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "com-
fort level" adapts to a higher volume of sound. So what
sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equip-
ment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it com-
fortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various record-
ings.
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.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage
from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late,
this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list
of sound levels is included for your protection.
