coding system on, proceed as described in
the following.
Detaching the release panel
If the coding system is active while the power
supply to the system is interrupted (e.g. theft,

Mechanism/cassette tapes
To avoid possible problems, you should not
use cassette tapes longer than 60 or 90
minutes (C60/C90). Store your tapes in a
cool place away from dirt, dust and tempera-
turesexceeding50° Celsius. Allowverycold
tapes to warm up before playing them in
order to avoid uneven tape transport. After
approximately 100 hours of use, dust partic-
les collected on the playback head or roller
may lead to tape run problems and sound
distortions.
Use a head cleaning tape to remove normal
dirt build-up. For tougher cases, use a cotton
swab (Q-Tip) soaked with alcohol. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting a hard object
into the player!
