To enjoy clear and powerful bass sound, you

can boost only the low frequency signal with a

sharp curve. This is the effect you get when

use an optional subwoofer system.

For example, you can hear the bass line more

clearly even if the vocal volume remains the

same. You can emphasize and adjust the bass

sound easily with the D-BASS control.

Precautions

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

• If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

Analog D-BASS

• If no sound comes from the speakers of a

2-speaker system, set the fader control to the

center position.

D-BASS 3

D-BASS 2

D-BASS 1

• When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette may become warm

because of the built-in power amplifier.

However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

Cassette care

Maintenance

• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

• Keep cassettes ataryway from equipment

with built-in magnets such as speakers and

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the

recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures or moisture.

• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the

tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the

reel and take up any slack.

Fu se Re p la ce m e n t

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one

with the correct amperage which is stated on

the fuse case. Never use a fuse whose

amperage rating exceeds the one supplied to

the unit as this could cause a malfunction of

the unit.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.

Removing the unit

Slack

• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

To prevent the unit from being stolen

When you leave your car, remove the unit

from the bracket and take it away with you.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tapes used for these cassettes are

very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to be pulled into the cassette

deck mechanism.

Caution

Be careful when you remove the unit. The rear

of the unit becomes very hot just after

operating it because of a built-in power

amplifer.

The rotary commander

labels

You can control this unit with the optional

rotary commander (RM-X4S).

Some labels are supplied with the rotary

commander. Attach that label which matches

the functions of the master unit and the

mounting position of the rotary commander.

When you mount the rotary commander,

attach the appropriate label, as in the

illustration below.
