Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold
materiai, water drops are produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible,
or the unit may not function correctlly.
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried.
(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it
is for several hours.)
Be especially careful in the following conditions:
• _ When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place,
and there is a large temperature difference,
• When a heater starts operating.
• When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a
place of high temperature with high humidity.
• When there is a large difference between the internal tem­
perature of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in con­
ditions where condensation occurs easily.
Setting the channel space (only some areas)
The space between broadcast stations is called the channel space. This space will differ depending on the country.
You can set the proper channel space for the country in which you will be using the unit, immediately after you insert
the plug of the power cord into the power outlet. When you insert the power plug into the outlet:
Operate with the POWER key being kept OFF.
□ Either "STEP 9 kHz" or "STEP 10 kHz" will be displayed.

• Now, the setting operation is completed.
• The power is applied and either AM 531 kHz (for STEP 9 kHz) or
AM 530 kHz {for STEP 10 kHz) is displayed.
If the AM channel spaces are changed, the characteristics for FM band are also changed so that they match with those in the
corresponding area.
Dolby noise reduction system
The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated during playback.
The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a
different type NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used
for both recording and playback.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.
