REFERENCE

Care and maintenance

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth. If the unit surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent En solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine

or thinner.

To clean the tape heads

Dirty tape heads cause sound deterioration. After every 10 hours of use, clean the tape heads with a head cleaning cassette. Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

To demagnetize the tape heads

Use a demagnetizing cassette after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.

Care of CDs

When a CD becomes dirty, wipe it from the centre out with a cleaning cloth. After playing a CD, store it in its case. Do not keep it in hot or humid places.

Care of tapes

Store tapes in their cases after use. Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If your unit fails to perform properly, check the following guide and the relevant sections of the Operating Instructions.

There is no sound

•Are the speakers and AC power cord connected properly?

The unit shut off suddenly

•Possibly a short circuit in the speaker terminals. Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet and reconnect the speaker cords correctly.

Erroneous display

•Reset the unit. (See "Resetting the unit" on this page.)

Poor radio reception

•Check antenna connection. Adjust the antenna to find the best reception.

•Move the unit and antenna away from other electric appliances and cords.

Poor tape sound

•Check for dirty heads. Clean them if needed.

Cannot record

•Is the erasure prevention tab of the tape broken off? If so, cover the detection slot with adhesive tape.

The CD player works poorly

•Is the disc correctly loaded?

•Is the disc dirty?

•Is the lens affected by condensation? If so, wait approximately one hour and try again.

Condensation

Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

•The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

•The heating system has just been turned on

•The unit is used in a very humid room

•The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

Resetting the unit

If an unusual condition occurs in the display window or the cassette deck, reset the unit as follows:

1 Press POWER to turn off the power.

If the power cannot be turned off, disconnect the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

2 Hold down sand press POWER on the main unit. Everything stored in memory after purchase is cleared.
