PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly  
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware  
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the  
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY  
• Point the remote control at the Remote SENSOR.  
• The functions of the buttons on the remote control are the same as the  
corresponding controls on the main unit.  
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared  
Remote Sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.  
• The maximum effective distance for remote control operation is about 15 feet.  
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS  
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:  
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.  
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery  
compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.  
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries  
with fresh ones.  
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage  
or injury from possible battery leakage.  
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture.  
(Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)

SLEEP Timer  
This system includes a programmable Sleep Timer that allows you to fall asleep to  
between 10 and 90 minutes of music and then shuts the power ‘Off’ automatically.  
To Operate The Sleep Timer:  
1.) Turn the system ‘On’ and operate either the Tuner or CD function as usual.  
2.) Adjust the VOLUME controls to the desired level. Remember that the level you  
select for the sleep to music function is the same level you will hear when the  
timer turns the system on in the morning.

4.) The display will show “90” indicating that the sleep timer will shut the power off  
after 90 minutes. The SLEEP indicator begins flashing.  
Continue pressing the SLEEP button to decrease the amount of sleep timer  
operation. Each time you press the SLEEP button you reduce the sleep time  
by 10 minutes.  
Release the SLEEP button when the display shows the desired amount of  
Sleep timer operation.

remains ‘On’. When the Sleep Timer counts down to “00”, the power shuts off  
automatically.

NOTES:  
• You can shut the unit off manually before the Sleep Timer counts down  
to “00” by pressing the STANDBY/ON  
button at any time.  
• Remember that if you are falling asleep to CD you will also wake to CD,  
and if you fall asleep to the Tuner you will also wake to the Tuner.  
• If you are falling asleep to CD, the system will only operate until the CD  
ends. If you set the Sleep Timer for 90 minutes but your CD is only 45  
minutes long, the music will stop after 45 minutes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
COMPACT DISC CARE  
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and  
lift the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.  
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to  
collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
CARE OF THE CABINETS  
• If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use  
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.  
• If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned  
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never  
use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.  
CAUTION  
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
