Erase protection

You can protect an important recording against accidental erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small screwdriver.

Erase-protect tab

Erase-protect tab

If you want to re-record on an erase-protected cassette, cover the space left by the broken tab with self-adhesive tape.

Tape-type hole

Note: If you're using Type II (High/CrO2) tapes, make sure you don't also cover the tape-type detection holes.

Cleaning external surfaces

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which may damage the surfaces.

9 Additional Information

Be careful: Some cassette head cleaners are not designed to work with auto-reverse decks and may become jammed in the mechanism — ask your Pioneer authorized service centre for details.

After using the head cleaner, leave the unit for 2–3 minutes before playing a tape. This will give any excess cleaning fluid a chance to dry.

Demagnetizing the tape head

The recording/playback head in the tape deck gradually becomes magnetized after long periods of use. Playback and recording quality will suffer as a result, with a lack of treble and increased noise. To avoid the problem, we recommend using a head demagnetizer at regular intervals. These are available from any good audio dealer.

When using a head demagnetizer, be sure to turn the volume right down and unplug any headphones to avoid damaging the unit or the speakers. For further details, refer to the instructions that came with the head demagnetizer.

Magnetic shielding of speakers

The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded. This means that they can safely be placed near a TV or monitor without distorting the picture.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. If it is placed very near a TV or monitor, you may see color distortion in the picture. Switch off the TV for about 30 minutes and move the subwoofer further away from the television to solve the problem.

Moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, first switch it off and unplug from the wall outlet. Avoid lifting or moving the unit during playback or recording.

CD lens cleaner

The CD pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

Tape head cleaner

To maintain the recording/playback quality of the tape deck, use a commercially available wet-type cassette head cleaner. Avoid using dry-type cassette head cleaners.

Removing/replacing the satellite speaker grilles

You can use the satellite speakers with or without the grilles.

To remove:

1Gently pull the bottom half of the grille away from the speaker.

2Pull away the top half to completely remove the grille.

To put back on:

1Line up the grille with the holes in each corner of the speaker

2Push the grille back on.
