Radio Shack 14-518 - Manual (Page 8)

8 Cassette Deck Operation
• Always handle a CD by the edges to
avoid fingerprints and always keep it in
its protective case or sleeve when it is
not in use. Fingerprints and scratches
on the CD’s surface can prevent the
laser beam from correctly reading the
digital information. If the CD gets
scratched, use RadioShack Scratch ‘n
Fix to repair the disc.
If the radio is subjected to a sudden shock or
jolt during play, the CD's rotation speed
might be briefly interrupted. This is not a mal-
function.
Cautions:
• To avoid damaging the CD player, do
not place anything but a CD in the CD
compartment.
• Remove any loaded CD from the CD
compartment before moving the system
to avoid damaging the CD.
• Moving the radio suddenly from a cold
place to a warmer one can cause mois-
ture to form on the CD player's pickup
lens and disrupt operation. If this hap-
pens, unplug the radio, then wait about
an hour before plugging it back in and
playing a CD.

RECORDING
Notes:
• The system’s Automatic Level Control
(ALC) automatically adjusts the record-
ing level.
VOLUME has no effect on
recording.
• Tape quality greatly affects the quality of
the recording. We recommend regular
length (60- or 90-minutes) cassette
tapes. We do not recommend long-play
cassette tapes such as C-120s because
they are thin and can tangle easily. For
