Selecting the Operational Options of Remote Control
Notes:
• Since the insertion direction of the car audio cassette adaptor is limited, be sure that it can be
inserted into the cassette slot of your car audio system.
•
Depending on the vehicle used, noise may occur. In this case, it is recommended to connect a noise
filter (available on the market) between the remote control and the car audio cassette adaptor.
• If your car audio system is equipped with a LINE IN or AUX IN jack, you can connect the
output of the remote control to the jack using a stereo mini plug signal cord (not supplied).
In this case, you do not need the optional car audio cassette adaptor.

Check this
Is the MD loaded? If unloaded, “No Disc” will appear on
the display.
• Is the HOLD switch released?
• Is the battery low?
• Is there moisture condensation on the lens?
(Wait for about an hour and then try again.)
• Is the Repeat Play or Random Play selected?
• You stopped or turned off the power while playing. It
changed to Resume Play.
• Is the headphone plug inserted all the way?
• Is the plug dirty? (Wipe away dirt on the plug.)
• Is music recorded on the MD? If not, “BLANK” will
appear on the display.
• Is the unit too near a TV or tuner? (If the TV or tuner is
connected to a simple indoor antenna, connect it to an
outdoor antenna.)
• With both HOLD switches activated, the battery was
changed during playback. (Release both HOLD switches
and try to operate again.)
• Is the charger too hot?
(If so, disconnect the AC adaptor and leave the charger
for a while.)
Maintenance
Unit:
Wipe the unit and remote control with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a cloth which
has been dipped in water (or soapy water) and wrung out. Then wipe them dry.
• If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its directions first.
• Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.
MDs:
If the MD cartridge is dirty wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
When storing MDs, avoid locations which are
• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Susceptible to high levels of humidity or dust.
• Directly exposed to heat from a heating appliance.
• On top of a car dashboard or near the rear window.
Handling the MDs
• Do not open the shutter. The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not force in to
open, or the disc may be destroyed.
