Q

<  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.

<  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.

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.

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 
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. 

Capstan

Playback/
recording head

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.
