Precautions
On safety
• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this
may result in an electrical shock.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the tape deck
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• Before operating the tape deck, check
that the operating voltage of the tape
deck is identical with your local
power supply. The operating voltage
is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear of the tape deck.
• ' 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 (not
applicable to European models).
• If you are not going to use the tape
deck for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the tape deck from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the jord. .
• AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
On operation
• Because of a safety mechanism, the
function buttons will not operate if
the cassette holder is not completely
closed, if there is no cassette in the
cassette holder, or if a cassette has
been incorrectly inserted into the
cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before turning
off the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape
may be damaged.
On placement
• Place the tape deck in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the tape deck.
• Do not place the tape deck:
— on a soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
— in a location near heat sources.
— in a place subject to direct sunlight.
— in an inclined position.
— in a place subject to excessive dust
or mechanical shock.
On cleaning the tape deck
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
