With the System, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.

• You can set the clock and daily timer while the SAVE mode
is turned on. While setting the clock or daily timer, the
display is turning on.
Playing Back Discs (see pages 4)
• This System cannot play "packet write" discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/fi le
confi guration.)
– Some MP3 fi les cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3 fi les with the extension
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 fi le at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
System cannot play back fi les made at bit rate of less than

"SOME DOS AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT"
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Timer Operations
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between

turned off .
withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any
way—switch off , withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fi xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifi cally stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infi rm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffi c
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fi x legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fi t the
20.0 W (POWER ON), 3.6 W (STANDBY mode)
manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fi xings provided according to the instructions.
3.0 W or less (SAVE mode)
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
– NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case
—this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;
– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

information—PS, PTY, RT signals, "PS, " "PTY, " or "RT" will
appear while searching.
Connecting a Portable Audio Device (see page 6)
Playing back a portable audio device:
• If a component connected to the LINE IN jack is not loud
enough, QP Link may not work properly.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component
louder so that the System can detect the sound signal
properly.
• Changing from "LINE" to another source while QP Link
works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control.
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
• If you press
button to turn the System off or if preset
Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System
deactivates QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
– When you turn on the power again
Setting the Clock and Daily Timer (see left)
• "0:00" will fl ash on the display until you set the clock.
• 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 fi rst, then the timer again.
• If you do not specify the preset station correctly while
setting a timer, the currently selected station will be played
when the timer is activated.
• When the on-time of the daily timer comes, the System
sets the volume level gradually to the preset level after
about 5 seconds.
Timer Priority:
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing

the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
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
to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
for a long time.
