JVC CA-MXKB25 User Manual

Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long
time.

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on

shelves.

• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.

• 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).

• Remove the CD from its case by holding

it at the edges while pressing the case’s
center 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, tem-

perature 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 center to
edge. 

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the fol-
lowing cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave
the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates,
unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

• 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
