RESETTING
If the system does not respond or has erratic operation, you may have experienced an electrostatic discharge (ESD) or a power surge that triggered the internal computer to shut down automatically. If this occurs, simply turn off the power by switching the POWER ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position and wait for three minutes, then turn the power ON again.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1.Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperature.
2.Do not tamper the internal components of the unit.
3.Clean your unit with a dry cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be used.
4.Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
5.Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as fluorescent lamps or motors.
6.Always clean the outside of the cabinet thoroughly if it becomes wet with moisture or water splashes. This will help to protect the internal parts of the unit from entry of water and possible moisture damage.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1)Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2)Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of the 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 cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible
through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.
Use only
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
