SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any

electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections

between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged

in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for

unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of

traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit

the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the

case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock.

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than

sorry!

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

Playable discs

The unit can play audio CDs (8 cm and 12 cm) with the

following mark.

Notes on handling discs

The following care should be taken to keep discs in good

condition, since dirty, damaged or warped discs could

lead to sound deterioration and damaging the unit.

• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.

• Do not stick or write anything on both surfaces.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high

temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity, or dust.

• After using a disc be sure to put it back in its case.

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press the center

and lift the disc out.

The unit can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded

in music CD format.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW discs

• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW

(Rewritable) discs can be played only if they are

already finalized.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit depending on the disc characteristics or

recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-R or CD-RW discs, read their

instructions and cautions carefully.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit because of damage or stain on them, or if the

CD pickup lens is dirty.

• When replacing a disc in its case, press the center part

to secure the disc.

• CD-RW discs may require a longer readout time (due

to the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW discs is lower

than that of regular CDs).

• Clean off any dust, dirt or fingerprints on discs with a

soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to edge. Never

use thinner, benzene, record cleaner or antistatic spray.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene or

thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

If the CD pickup lens is dirty, clean the lens to prevent

sound deterioration.

Gently wipe off fingerprints, etc. on the lens using a

cotton swab.

Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch

roller

To blow off dust on the lens, use a blower available at

camera shops, etc., as shown below.

When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust

naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch

roller.

When they become too dirty:

• Sound quality deteriorates.

• The sound output level drops.

• The previous recording is not completely erased.

• Recording is not performed correctly.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller

every 10 hours of use.

For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at

audio stores. Make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried

completely before loading a cassette.

Blower

Heads

Capstan

Pinch roller

Note

Do not use thinner or benzene, as these will damage the

rubber pinch roller (use of alcohol is permitted).

Demagnetizing the recording/playback

head

If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and

the sound will deteriorate.

Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to

30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at

audio stores. When demagnetizing the head, turn off the

unit to the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/

button.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

Playable discs

The unit can play audio CDs (8 cm and 12 cm) with the

following mark.

Notes on handling discs

The following care should be taken to keep discs in good

condition, since dirty, damaged or warped discs could

lead to sound deterioration and damage the unit.

• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.

• Do not stick or write anything on both surfaces.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high

temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity, or dust.

• After using a disc be sure to put it back in its case.

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press the center

and lift the disc out.

The unit can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded

in music CD format.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW discs

• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW

(Rewritable) discs can be played only if they are

already finalized.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit depending on the disc characteristics or

recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-R or CD-RW discs, read their

instructions and cautions carefully.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit because of damage or stain on them, or if the

CD pickup lens is dirty.

• When replacing a disc in its case, press the center part

to secure the disc.

• CD-RW discs may require a longer readout time (due

to the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW discs is lower

than that of regular CDs).

• Clean off any dust, dirt or fingerprints on discs with a

soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to edge. Never

use thinner, benzene, record cleaner or antistatic spray.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene or

thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

If the CD pickup lens is dirty, clean the lens to prevent

sound deterioration.

Gently wipe off fingerprints, etc. on the lens using a

cotton swab.

Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch

roller

To blow off dust on the lens, use a blower available at

camera shops, etc., as shown below.

When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust

naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch

roller.

When they become too dirty:

• Sound quality deteriorates.

• The sound output level drops.

• The previous recording is not completely erased.

• Recording is not performed correctly.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller

every 10 hours of use.

For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at

audio stores. Make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried

completely before loading a cassette.

Blower

Lens

Heads

Capstan

Pinch roller

Note

Do not use thinner or benzene, as these will damage the

rubber pinch roller (use of alcohol is permitted).

Demagnetizing the recording/playback

head

If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and

the sound will deteriorate.

Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to

30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at

audio stores. When demagnetizing the head, turn off the

unit to the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/

button.

Caution

As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do

not demagnetize it.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

Playable discs

The unit can play audio CDs (8 cm and 12 cm) with the

following mark.

Notes on handling discs

The following care should be taken to keep discs in good

condition, since dirty, damaged or warped discs could

lead to sound deterioration and damage the unit.

• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.

• Do not stick or write anything on both surfaces.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high

temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity, or dust.

• After using a disc be sure to put it back in its case.

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press the center

and lift the disc out.

The unit can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded

in music CD format.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW discs

• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW

(Rewritable) discs can be played only if they are

already finalized.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit depending on the disc characteristics or

recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-R or CD-RW discs, read their

instructions and cautions carefully.

• Some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played on

the unit because of damage or stain on them, or if the

CD pickup lens is dirty.

• When replacing a disc in its case, press the center part

to secure the disc.

• CD-RW discs may require a longer readout time (due

to the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW discs is lower

than that of regular CDs).

• Clean off any dust, dirt or fingerprints on discs with a

soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to edge. Never

use thinner, benzene, record cleaner or antistatic spray.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene or

thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

If the CD pickup lens is dirty, clean the lens to prevent

sound deterioration.

Gently wipe off fingerprints, etc. on the lens using a

cotton swab.

Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch

roller

To blow off dust on the lens, use a blower available at

camera shops, etc., as shown below.

When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust

naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch

roller.

When they become too dirty:

• Sound quality deteriorates.

• The sound output level drops.

• The previous recording is not completely erased.

• Recording is not performed correctly.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller

every 10 hours of use.

For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at

audio stores. Make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried

completely before loading a cassette.

Blower

Lens

Heads

Capstan

Pinch roller

Note

Do not use thinner or benzene, as these will damage the

rubber pinch roller (use of alcohol is permitted).

Demagnetizing the recording/playback

head

If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and

the sound will deteriorate.

Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to

30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at

audio stores. When demagnetizing the head, turn off the

unit to the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/

button.

Caution

As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do

not demagnetize it.
