Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates 
DVD recorded material on one side with digital 
audio material on the other side. However, since the 
audio material side does not conform to the Compact 
Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not 
guaranteed.
Music discs encoded with copyright 
protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that conform 
to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various 
music discs encoded with copyright protection 
technologies are marketed by some record companies. 
Please be aware that among those discs, there are some 
that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be 
playable by this product.

Antennas
Find a location and an orientation that provide 
good reception, and then set up the antenna. 
Keep the antenna away from the speaker cords and 
the power cord to avoid picking up noise.
With a DAB external antenna (not supplied), you 
can obtain higher DAB broadcast sound quality. 
We recommend that you use the supplied FM/DAB 
lead antenna only temporarily until you install a 
DAB external antenna.
Before unplugging the DAB antenna, make sure 
the system is turned off to preserve your own DAB 
settings.
