Using the CD player  
Error compensation  
Handling Compact Discs  
The unit has built in error compensation  
circuits which enable it to keep playing  
despite any minor defects in the disc.  
However, if the defects are too great, the play  
may skip some tracks during play.  
To remove a CD from its storage case, press  
down on the centre of the case and lift the disc  
out.  
If you encounter this problem play a new disc  
and if the CD player operates normally, the  
skipping problem is probably due to a  
defective disc.  
Hold the disc by the edges. Avoid touching  
the recorded side of the disc.

Care & maintenance  
Cleaning tape heads  
Cassette care  
The tape heads, roller and capstan require  
occasional cleaning to remove particles of  
metal oxide coating that wear off the tape.  
You can help avoid two of the most common  
problems of cassette usage.  
These are:  
• Press the Power button to switch the  
power off.  
• jamming - which causes uneven playback  
speed.  
• Press the Stop/Eject button to open the  
cassette door.  
• Press Play.  
• Clean the tape head, pinch roller and  
capstan with a soft cloth or cotton bud  
dampened in iso-propylacohol or a special  
tape head cleaner.  
• tangling - where the tape wraps itself  
around the playing mechanism.  
To reduce the likelihood of these problems  
occurring, the following precautions should be  
observed.  
Check that there are no loose layers of tape  
visible through the window in the cassette.  
Use a pencil or hexagonal shaped ballpoint  
pen to wind along any loose lauers before  
inserting the cassette into your machine.  
Cleaning CDs  
Use a soft cloth to wipe off any fingerprints  
and dust from the disc surface. Wipe in a  
straight line from the centre to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains  
will not affect reproduction quality.  
If the cassette feels tightwhen winding the  
tape with a pencil or pen, the tape may be  
jamming due to ridges formed in the winding  
of the tape. You can see these through the  
cassette eindow. In most cases, you can  
remove these ridges by fast forwarding the  
tape from one end to the other in your  
cassette player.  
• Never use chemicals such as record sprays,  
anti-static sprays, benzine or thinners to  
clean your CDs.  
• To reduce the risk of scratches, always put  
CDs back in their case after use.  
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high  
humidity or high temperatures for long  
periods.  
• Use only well known brands of tape.  
• Avoid C-120 cassettes, as the tape material  
deteriorates much quicker.  
• Always avoid exposing cassettes to direct  
sunlight, dust or oil. Do not touch the  
surface of the tape.  
• Do not stick paper or write anything on  
either side of the CD.  
Only discs displaying this  
symbol can be played on  
this unit.
