ATTENTION:

This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause a microcomputer to malfunction. If the recorder does not operate correctly, switch its power off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Wait for a while and then plug the power back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, resume operating the recorder as usual.
