please read these instructions completely.  
Dear Customer:  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical  
enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.  
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get  
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and  
clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what  
sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your  
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want  
you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage  
from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries  
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.  
This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE  
When a new recording is made, any program  
material previously recorded is automatically  
erased and only the new recording remains. To  
safeguard valuable recordings from being erased  
accidentally, the cassette and the deck are  
equipped with a special device.  
On the back of the cassette there is an erase  
prevention tab on each side. To prevent  
accidental erasing, break out these tabs with a  
screwdriver. If only one side of the tape is to be  
protected, break out the tab on the left side with  
the side desired facing you.  
E 1  
Tab for side 2  
Tab  
S I D  
Tab for side 1  
To record on a tape in which the tab has been

Break out the tab  
to prevent recording  
NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record  
button cannot be depressed.  
Cover with tape to record again  
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS  
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of recording time on each side.  
Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only  
high quality tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to determine if the  
problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.  
If there is any slack in the tape in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting the cassette. Place a  
pencil in one of the hubs and rotate clockwise until all slack is taken up.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)  
Caring for Compact Discs  
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc  
only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact  
with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.  
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.  
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free,  
dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to  
clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning  
kit.  
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer  
edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.  
Z
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here.  
Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly.  
• Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged  
exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.  
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink may  
damage the surface.  
Cleaning the Unit  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.  
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution  
when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.  
• Periodic cleaning of the tape heads, capstan and pinch roller is necessary to maintain good sound  
reproduction. Clean them after every 100 hours of use or less if playback has deteriorated. Use a cotton  
swab moistened with head cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol, then wipe dry with another swab.
