Precautions
Before operating the unit for the first time or
after replacing the car battery, press the reset
button with a ball-point pen etc., and then
start operating the unit.
Pressing the reset button will erase the
memorized programme and clear the
memory of the CD programme memory
function.
If your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car, allow the unit to
cool off before operating it.
If no power is being supplied to the unit,
check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.
If no sound comes from the speakers of a
2-speaker system, set the fader control to the
centre position.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest
dealer.
Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as
any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
Keep cassettes away from equipment with
built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the
recorded tape could occur.
Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely cold temperatures or moisture.
When the tape is played back for a long
period, the cassette shell may become warm
because of the built-in power amplifier.
However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is
not recommended except for long continuous
play. The tapes used for these cassettes are
very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to be pulled into the cassette
deck mechanism.
Detaching and Attaching
the Front Panel
The front panel of this unit can be detached in
order to prevent the unit from being stolen.
Detaching the Front Panel
Before detaching the front panel, be sure to
press the 
OFF
 button first. Then press the

it from the unit.
Attaching the Front Panel

the unit by attaching part A of the front panel

Notes
Make sure that the front panel is the right way up when
attaching it to the unit as it cannot be attached upside
down.
Do not press the front panel hard against the unit when
attaching it to the unit. It can easily be attached by
pressing it lightly against the unit.
When you carry the front panel with you, put it in the
supplied front panel case.
Do not press hard or exert excessive pressure on the
display windows of the front panel.
Before removing the front panel, be sure to turn the
power off. However, if you press the RELEASE button to
detach the panel while the unit is still turned on, the
power will be automatically turned off in order to protect
the speakers from being damaged.
