Panasonic SL-SV500 Manuel D’Utilisation

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can ra-
diate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-
ing measures:

≥

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

≥

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

≥

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

≥

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the
user’s authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

J

Change the frequency step according to the area.

Press [RADIO/BAND] to switch on the power. 

FM U0.2 (original setting) : FM 0.2 MHz, AM 10 kHz
FM U0.1 : FM 0.1 MHz, AM 10 kHz
E : FM 0.05 MHz, AM 9 kHz

∫ 

Repeat the above procedure.

Converting the allocation erases the stations previously stored in memory.

The operation is the same as when playing CDs.
(See page 4.)

Try various directions to obtain optimum reception.

The AM antenna is located in the lid of the unit so noise may increase if the unit is
held. This is not malfunction.

The stereo headphones/earphones cord is also the FM antenna, so extend it rather
than leaving it coiled.

∫ 

Leave off under normal conditions. Set to “CITY” if reception is poor or if there is in-
terference from another station.

∫ 

Select 

“MONO”.

Sound becomes monaural, but noise is reduced.
