PrecautionsContinued
Before Using Your New Speakers
Place the speakers on sturdy, flat surfaces. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces where they may fall and cause damage will affect the sound quality.
Do not keep water or other liquids close to the speakers. If a liquid is spilled over them, the woofer and tweeter inside may be damaged.
Do not handle the speakers with wet or damp hands.
Speaker Precautions
The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If theyre fed any of the following signals, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. 2. Audio from a cassette thats being fast-forwarded. 3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-
tronic musical instrument, and so on. 4. Amplifier oscillation. 5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. 6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables).
7. Microphone feedback.
The speakers contain powerful magnets. Do not put metal items, such as screwdrivers, close to the speakers, as they may be attracted toward the magnet, causing injury, or damage to the tweeter diaphragm.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer from discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the speakers feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue. In this case, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool thats too close to your TV or monitor.
Note: If the speakers are placed close to a TV or monitor,
due to the electromagnetic waves radiated by the TV or monitor, you may hear noise from the speakers even after your amplifier has been turned off. To prevent this, position the speakers away from your TV or monitor.

Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) Notes
Precautions for Playback
Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label surface can be used.
Do not use discs designed for purposes other than audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal noise could damage the CD receiver.
* The CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW discs. Note that some discs may not playback because of the disc characteristics, scratches, contamination or the recording state. A disc recorded with an audio CD record will not playback unless it is finalized.
Never use discs which have a special shape (such as hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam and damage the CD receiver.
CD Playback with Copy-control Function
Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not comply with official CD standards. These are special discs and cannot be played with the CD receiver.
Playback of MP3 Discs
MP3 files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can be played with the CD receiver.
Use discs which have been recorded following the ISO 9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported directory depth is eight levels, the same as ISO 9660 Level 1)
Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system (HFS) cannot be played.
Discs must be closed (finalized). Only MP3 files with the extension .MP3 or . mp3
are supported. Files recorded using MPEG 1 audio layer 3 at
sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz and a constant bit rate (CBR) of 32320 kbps are supported.
A maximum of 299 folders can be recognized on a single CD. A maximum of 648 files can be recognized in a single folder.
Playback from USB Flash Drives
MP3 files recorded on a USB flash drive can be played with the CD receiver.
USB flash drives formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 are supported.
Only MP3 files with the extension .MP3 or .mp3 are supported.
Files recorded using MPEG 1 audio layer 3 at sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz and a constant bit rate (CBR) of 32320 kbps are supported.
A maximum of 299 folders can be recognized on a single USB flash drive. A maximum of 648 files can be recognized in a single folder.
Note: A disc recorded with a recorder or personal computer
may not play in some cases. (Cause: Discs characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on players lens, dew condensation, etc.)
A disc recorded on a personal computer may not play because of the application settings or environment. Record the disc with the proper format. (Contact the application maker for details.)
A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not playback properly.
Handling Discs
Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hole and edge. Avoid touching the playback surface (surface with nothing printed on it).
Do not attach paper or stickers, or write on the playback or label surface of the disc. Take care not to scratch or damage the disc.

Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) NotesContinued
Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs
Do not leave a CD-R/CD-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver.
Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.
Caring for Discs
If the disc is dirty, the CD receiver will have a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center outwards.
To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning spray for analog records or antistatic agents, etc. Never use volatile chemicals such as benzine or paint thinner as they can impregnate the disc surface.
Connecting Speakers
Connect the right speaker to the CD receivers right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.
Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative () terminals to only negative () terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
Use the red line wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.
Do not connect anything other than the included speakers (D-T15). We cannot take responsibility for malfunctions or poor results if this CD receiver is used with any other speakers. (CS-255 only)
You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. (CR-255 only)
Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals. Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker.
Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the CD receiver and/or speakers.

Connecting the Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna. The CD receiver wont pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
Note: Once your CD receiver is ready for use, youll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve
the best possible reception.
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.
2 Plug the AM loop antenna into the AM antenna jack, as shown.
Adjusting the AM Loop Antenna Adjust the location and position of the AM antenna while listening to an AM station to achieve the best possible reception.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Note: Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.
Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
