Before You Begin  
Battery Power  
EN  
You can insert 6 D-sized alkaline batteries (not  
supplied) and you can take your stereo just about  
anywhere.  
Be sure to remove batteries  
when storing the set for more than 30  
days. Leaky batteries can badly damage  
the system. Always return tape operation  
buttons to their off position before  
storing. This will relieve pressure on  
certain parts in the tape recorder that  
might deform after long periods of time.  
Be sure to dispose of leaky, weak or dead  
batteries properly according to federal,  
state, and local regulations. To prevent  
injury or damage, do not reverse batteries  
and do not mix battery type.  
Open the battery compartment door on the  
bottom of the unit by pressing down on the  
tab and pulling out the cover.  
Before inserting the batteries, observe the  
polarities (that is, + and -) of the battery, then  
relate the polarities to the engraved diagram  
located on the battery compartment door.  
Insert batteries in the battery compartment.  
Note that the AC line cord must be  
unplugged from the jack on the back of the  
unit to operate on batteries.  
Important Battery Information  
Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you  
do not use your system for more than one  
month.  
Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking  
batteries may cause skin burns or other  
personal injuries. Dispose of batteries in the  
proper manner, according to provincial and  
local regulations.  
Any battery may leak electrolyte under the  
following circumstances:  
- if mixed with a different battery type,  
- if inserted incorrectly,  
- if all batteries are not replaced at the same  
time,  
- if disposed of in fire, or  
- if an attempt is made to charge a battery  
not intended to be recharged

Maintenance  
Cleaning the exterior  
CD Lens Care  
EN  
Disconnect the system from AC power  
before cleaning the exterior of the unit with  
a soft dust cloth  
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also  
cause the system to output poor sound  
quality. To clean the lens you will need to  
purchase a CD lens cleaner which can  
maintain the output sound quality of your  
system. For instructions on cleaning the CD  
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the  
lens cleaner.  
Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or  
slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT  
use solvents as it may cause damage to the  
unit.  
Handling CDs  
Cassettes  
Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs  
by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.  
Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the  
label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the  
label.  
To protect your recordings from accidental  
erasure on one or both sides of your  
cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the  
cassette. If you decide later to record on the  
tape, seal the hole with a piece of adhesive  
tape. (Refer to diagram)  
CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player.  
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped)  
CDs  
Make sure CDs are stored in their original  
case after use. Keep them away from damp,  
humid or abnormally heated places.

Cleaning CDs  
Quit Slacking - A little bit of  
slack in your tapes can cause  
scratches on the tape, or worse  
yet, the tape could break. If  
you notice some slack in the  
tape, use a pencil to tighten it  
up before you insert it.  
Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality.  
Always keep CDs clean by wiping them  
gently with a soft cloth from the inner  
edge toward the outer perimeter.  
If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in  
water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away  
gently, and then remove any water drops  
with a dry cloth.  
Do not use record cleaning sprays or  
antistatic agents on CDs. Also, never clean  
CDs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile  
solvents which may cause damage to disc  
surface.
