•When you want to reduce the hiss noise in low-level high-frequency signals, set DOLBY NR to ON before step 5.

•Using the timer function on the DHC-MD373/333, you can record radio programmes at a preset time.

Additional Information

Precautions

On operating voltage
(for models with a voltage selector)

Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating voltage of your tape deck is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Unplug the tape deck from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On placement

•Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.

•Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

•Do not place the unit in locations where it is:

—Extremely hot or cold

—Dusty or dirty

—Very humid

—Subject to vibration

—Subject to direct sunlight

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. 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 play, stop, and fast-winding frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.
