INTRODUCTION
Your new COMPACT DISC PLAYER WITH AM/FM STEREO CASSETTE RECORDER
is a specially designed all solid state set which, with proper care, will give you years of
trouble-free service. Please read these operating instructions carefully as they will
help you obtain maximum performance from this set. Unpack the set carefully and
place it on a level surface, away from sources of excessive heat, such as radiators.
POWER SUPPLY- 2 WAY SYSTEM
This set is designed to be operated from two different power sources as
listed below:
A. DC OPERATION
This set runs on 8 size “D” batteries. For best performance, always use heavy duty
alkaline batteries.
TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1.Remove the BATTERY DOOR by gently pushing tabs downward and outward.
2.Install 8 size “D” batteries.
NOTE: The battery compartment has 2 levels,
upper and lower. Be sure to install the
batteries as per the sketch shown
and the indication on the back of the set.
3.Replace the BATTERY DOOR.
NOTE: Old batteries may swell and leak. To
avoid damage to your set, remove the
batteries when the set is to be stored for
long periods of time or if the batteries
become exhausted (when the batteries

touches the spring.
NOTE: To use your set on battery power, you MUST remove the AC power cord
from BOTH the wall outlet AND the back of the set.
NOTE: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix rechargeable (nickel cadmium)
and regular carbon zinc or alkaline batteries. Installation of batteries should
be done by an adult (for safety).
BATTERY INDICATOR
The POWER lamp also shows you if your batteries are fresh. When this lamp
gets dim, it is time to replace the batteries.
B. AC OPERATION
Plug the AC power cord into the back of the set and insert the AC PLUG into 120 Volts
AC 60Hz standard household outlet.

end of the cord will only fit ONE way into
the socket or wall outlet. If it does not fit, do
not force it, just reverse it and try again.
NOTE: If the AC power cord is plugged into the
back of the set, the set will not work on
batteries. To operate the set on batteries,

CASSETTE OPERATION
NOTE: All of the tape buttons (except the CASSETTE PAUSE button and CASSETTE STOP/
EJECT button) operate in the same fashion. To activate a feature, you press the
button all the way down so that it stays in its depressed position when you
release it. To deactivate the feature, press CASSETTE STOP/EJECT button.

For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the CASSETTE FAST FORWARD
button or CASSETTE REWIND button.

The CASSETTE PAUSE button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is
temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running while the PAUSE button is
depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.
AUTOMATIC STOP
This set has a built-in automatic stop feature and the tape mechanism will stop playing
or recording and shut itself off when it has reached the end of the tape.
MANUAL STOP
The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette STOP/EJECT
button.
CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on
the performance of this set.
Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily
become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes
will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
Use only well-known brands of tapes.
Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme
thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
•
•
This set is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure
to use name brand normal cassette tapes. You may use the above (special)
•
tapes, but the best sound quality is from normal bias tapes.
CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING
Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with
previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in
the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For
more information on these tabs, see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST
ERASURE on page 15.

IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used,
the sound during playback may become “muffled” or, in extreme cases, almost
inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a deposit of
oxide and other dirt on the tape heads.
The easiest way to solve this problem is by using a head-cleaning cassette. Follow
the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully.
The tape head is a delicate precision component and serious damage will result if
you attempt to scrape dirt away with a sharp tool.
2. Other common causes of trouble are:
(a)Tapes jamming - leading to uneven speed during playback.
(b)Tapes tangling - where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the following
precautions:
(1)Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center
window (see FIG. 1). Tighten these loose layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set (see FIG. 2).
(2)If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation as shown in FIG. 2, the
tape may be jamming due to “ridges” in the winding of the tape (visible through
the center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding the
cassette from one end to the other and back again, or the tape may be permanently
damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this may cause your set to
break.
FIG. 1
FIG. 2
NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE
TAPES
1. Do not put
a
cassette near
a
magnetic
field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic
fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even
erase the recording.
2. Do not store cassette for any length of time
in a hot, moist or dusty place.

When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled,
distorted or reduced sound during playback and may even result in tape jams.
Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with
commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10
seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.
HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SET
AM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite
station by rotating the set a small amount.
FM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite
station by collapsing the telescoping antenna a small amount, rotating or extending it to
the full length.
RECORD BUTTON - If you find that you cannot press this button down, check the
Record Interlock defeat tabs on the cassette (see page 15), or the tape may be
at the end, rewind the tape or reverse it.
TAPE HEADS - The tape heads should be cleaned periodically with a special
cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi stores) to remove the particles of brown
oxide coating from the tapes that collected on these heads. These particles fill the gap
in the heads and degrade performance.
