IMPORTANT:

•It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

•The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and the SOUND MODE controls. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

•If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

•You can use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small

tabs on the back to protect

from unexpected erasure or re-recording.

To protect your recording, remove these tabs.

To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks become dirty, the following will occur:

•Impaired sound quality

•Discontinuous sound

•Fading

•Incomplete erasure

•Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
