SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been disigned 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 opera-  
tion 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!

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.  
Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.  
Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or  
two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source, the pro-  
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But  
first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.  
• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape  
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording  
CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first  
to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.  
Things To Know Before You Start Recording  
❏It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted  
material without the consent of the copyright owner.  
CAUTION:  
❏The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape  
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected  
by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected  
by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can  
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting  
the recording level.  
• If a recording you make has excessive noise or  
static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV  
which was on during the recording. Either turn  
off the TV or increase the distance between the  
TV and the Unit.  
❏Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A  
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording.  
Adhesive tape  
❏To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover  
the holes with adhesive tape first.  
❏Type I tape can be used for recording.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)  
Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck  
B and wind past the tape leader.  
Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.  
“CD REC” appears on the display and the “REC” indicator  
lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and  
the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape.  
When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, “CD REC  
FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cas-  
sette Deck stop.

Standard Recording  
This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also  
has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which  
save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects.  
However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have  
made, or are combining selections from several sources on one  
tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source  
you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or  
the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with  
this procedure.  
(When finished)

chro recording, set enough time to allow for the CD to fin-  
ish playing, otherwise the power will go off before  
recording is completed.

Using the Timers  
Setting the SLEEP Timer  
Timer Priority  
Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number  
of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can  
fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by it-  
self rather than play all night.  
Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what  
happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:  
The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:  
• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC  
Timer is operating, the other timer just won’t come on at all,  
so you will always get the entire program on a tape.  
• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is oper-  
ating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer  
is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.  
• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.  
Using the Remote Control  
During playback a source, press the SLEEP  
1
button.  
❏If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the  
DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Tim-  
er is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the  
SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use  
the settings from the DAILY Timer.  
The “SLEEP” indicator starts blinking on the display.  
Set the length of time you want the source to

play before shutting off.  
Each time you press the SLEEP button, the time length chang-  
es as follows:

Care And Maintenance  
Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long  
time.  
Cassette Tapes  
• 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.  
Compact Discs  
• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used  
with this System. However, continued  
use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,  
octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.  
• Do not touch the tape surface.  
• 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.  
• Do not store the tape:  
- In dusty places  
- In direct sunlight or heat  
- In moist areas  
- On a TV or speaker  
- Near a magnet  
• 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.  
Cassette Deck  
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck  
become dirty, the following will occur:  
- Loss of sound quality  
- Discontinuous sound  
- Fading  
• 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.  
- Incomplete erasure  
- Difficulty recording  
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton  
swab moistened with alcohol.  
Pinch-roller  
Capstan  
CAUTION:  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-  
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,  
etc.) to clean a CD.  
General Notes  
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.  
Heads  
• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.  
• 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  
Moisture Condensation  
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside  
the System in the following 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 mal-  
function. 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.
