•When using discs that have glue or similar tacky substance on the label side of the disc or that used a special ink when the label was printed, there is a chance that the disc or label may become attached to parts inside this unit.When this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this system to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label side of the disc is not sticky before using.

The following types of disc should not be used:

–rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the seal on the disc is tacky.

–discs that have labels printed using a special ink that feels tacky when touched.

•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played back on this system. Attempting to do so may damage the system. Do not use such discs.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the tape tab from side A or B as illustrated.

Break off the tape tab

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Before placing a tape into the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as playback, stop and fast-winding etc. frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing tape. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing tape.
