Care And Maintenance
Compact Discs
Handle your compact discs, cassette tapes, and
Cassette Deck carefully, and they will last a
long time.
• Remove the CD from the case by holding
it at the edges while pressing the centre
hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD,
or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the
CD when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
in a straight line from centre to edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for ex-
ample, conventional record cleaner, spray
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside
the Unit in the following cases:
•
After starting the heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the Unit is brought directly from a
cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the Unit may malfunc-
tion. In this case, leave the Unit turned on
for a few hours until the moisture evapo-
rates, unplug the AC power cord, and then
plug it in again.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
tapes, CDs, and the mechanism clean.
•
Store tapes and CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets
or on shelves.
• Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape doors and the CD trays closed
when not in use.
Cassette Tapes
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take
up the slack by inserting a pencil in
one of the reels and rotating.
• If the tape is loose, it may get
stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not store the tape:
-
In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In moist areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette Deck
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck
become dirty, the following will occur:
-
Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
- Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton
swab moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise
or lose high frequencies.
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
