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

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 “ tight” when 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.
