• Miscellaneous problems
• When the system is installed near a television set,
magnetic influence from the speakers may cause the
television’s picture to be distorted. This symptom
frequently occurs when using an indoor antenna; in this
event, install an outdoor antenna, or separate the system
farther from the television.
• Static electricity and other outside electrical influences
may cause the system to operate incorrectly. In such cases,
unplugging and reconnecting the power cord may help
correct the problem.
• More than one of the same kind of component (CD tuner,
MD recorder, CD recorder or cassette deck) cannot be
connected at the same time.
