circumstances. Any repairs or internal
adjustments should be made only by a trained
technician.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed.
• Do not use your System immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm

inside the disc compartment. To keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up lens, do not
leave the compartment door open for an
extended period of time. If the lens becomes
dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air
blower brush designed for camera lenses.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping and splashing.

Notes on CD-R/ CD-RW Disc
• CD-R discs that are recorded using personal
computers or other CD-R recorders may not
be played on this unit due to the difference
in recording platforms.
• Do not affix any type of labels to either side
(recordable or labeled side) of a CD-R disc as
this may result in the disc malfunctioning.
• To avoid damages to the CD-R disc, do not
open the disc compartment door while the
disc is being read. This may take more then
30 seconds.
• Do not load an unrecorded CD-R disc into
the unit.
Cassettes
• To protect your recordings from accidental
erasure on one or both sides of your
cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the
cassette. If you decide later to record on the
tape, seal the hole with a piece of adhesive
tape. (Refer to diagram on the right)
• Quit Slacking - A little bit of
slack in your tapes can cause
scratches on the tape, or worse
yet, the tape could break. If you
notice some slack in the tape,
use a pencil to tighten it up before you
insert it.
