Q
CAUTION
< Do not move the unit during CD playback.
During CD playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do not lift or
move the unit during playback. Doing so might damage the disc
or the unit.
< The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage that
is printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
< Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the
unit, contact your dealer or service company.
< When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.
< Always remove the disc before relocating or moving this unit.
Moving the unit with a disc inside it could cause a malfunction.
Placement of the unit
< Choose the location where you install the unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. You should
also avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to
excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around it for ventilation.
< Do not place the unit on an amplifier, a receiver or any other
device that generates heat.
< When the unit is turned on, if a TV is turned on nearby lines might
appear on the TV screen depending on the frequency of the TV
broadcast. This is not a malfunction of the unit or the TV. If you see
such lines, move the unit and the TV further apart.
Beware of condensation
When the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a
sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation. Vapor
in the air could cause condensation on the internal mechanism, mak-
ing proper operation impossible. If this occurs, or as a preventative
measure, leave the unit turned on for one or two hours. This will allow
the unit to adjust to the temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use
diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry com-
pletely before using.
Q For safety, disconnect the power cord from the outlet before
cleaning.
< Never spray liquid directly on this unit.
< Do not use thinner or alcohol as they could damage the surface of
the unit.
Cleaning and demagnetizing the cassette deck
Cleaning
A dirty head can cause poor sound quality or the sound to skip.
Dirt on the tape tracking roller might catch the tape.
Clean the head, pinch roller, and capstan with a cotton applicator
dampened with a commercially available cleaning solution about
every ten hours of use.

Erasing head
Pinch roller
Demagnetizing
When the head is magnetized, it increases noise and hinders the
transmission of high notes.
If these problems occur, demagnetize the head using a commer-
cially available head eraser.
< Do not put a cassette tape in the cassette holder of the unit until
the cleaning solution on the head dries.
