Caution for AC Mains Lead
(For United Kingdom)
(“EB” area code model only)
For your safety, please read the following text carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for
your safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the
replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it
is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR
THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE
FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT
OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL
SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO
ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated
below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE
EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE
LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR
COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF–KEEP DRY.

Before use
Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion
and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the
unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from
the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these operating instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can
occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by
unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
Use this chart when selecting discs. You can use both 8-cm and
12-cm discs. Do not use a disc adapter for 8-cm discs.

RQT6523
Before use
You can play discs with these symbols.
DVD audio formats
DVDs may be recorded monaurally or stereophonically instead of
with multiple channels. So, for example, audio recorded with Dolby
Surround, a stereo format found on DVDs and other media, will be
played only through the front speakers.
DVDs that can be played
This unit can play CD-DA (digital audio) and video CD format audio
CD-R and CD-RW that have been finalized upon completion of
recording.
It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the
condition of the recording.
Finalizing is a process that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to play
audio CD-R and CD-RW.
Disc information
MP3 playback
A
You can use this unit to play MP3 format audio recorded for
personal use with a computer etc. onto CD-R or CD-RW. Play may
not be possible in some cases due to the condition of the recording.
Discs recorded using MP3 differ to CDs in the following ways.
¡Structure of the disc
MP3 files are treated as chapters and folders (albums) are
treated as titles.
¡Display during play a
¡On-Screen Menu Icons for disc information during play b
¡Starting play from a selected chapter
Press the numbered buttons and press [ENTER].
Example: Chapter 23: [2] / [3] / [ENTER]
(Pressing [≥10/-/--] is unnecessary.)
¡Repeat play
You can use chapter repeat or title repeat.
¡Program play, random play
You cannot use program play or random play.
¡If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take
some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed
time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track
starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.
¡The time information may not be displayed correctly.
¡If both MP3 and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc, only the
data type used for the first track is played.
¡This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
¡This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags and packet-write format.
¡This unit is not compatible with files with a sampling rate of
32 kHz.
