Precautions
On safety
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC or 12 V DC.
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not
use any other type.
For battery operation, use eight size D (R20) batteries.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not to be used
for an extended period of time.
• When the internal batteries are not to be used, remove them
to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion.
• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful
to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the
unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the bottom.
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
On placement
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the
proper operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its
components.
• If the unit is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose
a location in the car where the unit will not be subject to the
direct rays of the sun.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent
possible damage from the magnet.

power cord was disconnected, the batteries felt out or an
interruption of the main power source occurred) after ►,
REC or HI SPEED DUBBING was pressed, it may not be
possible to eject the cassette. In this case, supply power to
the unit again and then press l^after pressing to
remove the cassette.

before inserting a cassette.
