Handling Cassette Tapes
6. REMOTE CONTROL
1. FEATURES
Using any of the following types of cassette
tapes can cause malfunctions.
• Avoid using cassettes of 120 minutes or
longer. (Such cassettes have extremely thin
tape, so the tape can become stretched or
cut.)
• Periodically play a cleaning cassette in the
player to clean the head.
• Keep magnet items like magnets, and iron and
steel items like screwdrivers away from both
cassette tapes and the tape head in the player.
• Do not oil the cassette mechanism.
• Do not use any cassette tapes with peeling
labels or deformed cases. Such cassette tapes
can cause breakdowns.
• When not using the player, always take the
cassette out of the mechanism. Exposing a
cassette to direct sunlight, extreme tempera-
tures or high humidity can damage the cas-
sette.

2. PRECAUTIONS
1. When the auto antenna cord is connected
to the car auto antenna cord, when the unit
is switched to the radio mode (or the TV
mode), the antenna is extended automati-
cally. If the car is in a narrow space, the an-
tenna may strike something, so be careful.
2. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even
in the event that trouble arises, never open
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate
the rotating parts.
Flip Down Panel

This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
CAUTION
