Compact Discs

Cassette Tapes

English

Handle your compact discs, cassette tapes, and Cassette Deck carefully, and they will last a long time.

Remove the CD from the case by holding it at the edges while pressing the centre hole lightly.

Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or bend the CD.

Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in the case.

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from centre to edge.

If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

Do not touch the tape surface.

Do not store the tape:

-In dusty places

-In direct sunlight or heat

-In moist areas

-On a TV or speaker

-Near a magnet

CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for exam- ple, conventional record cleaner, spray thin- ner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the Unit in the following cases:

After starting the heating in the room.

• In a damp room.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the Unit may malfunc- tion. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evapo- rates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Cassette Deck

If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck become dirty, the following will occur:

-Loss of sound quality

-Discontinuous sound

-Fading

-Incomplete erasure

-Difficulty recording

Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your tapes, CDs, and the mechanism clean.

Store tapes and CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape doors and the CD trays closed when not in use.

Heads

If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or lose high frequencies.

To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
