Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD player

section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into

the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g.,

heart, square, star) cannot be played on this player. Attempting to do so may damage the player. Do not use such discs.

On power sources

• For AC operation, check that the player’s

operating voltage is identical with your local power supply (see “Specifications”) and use the supplied mains lead; do not use any other type.

• The player is not disconnected from the

AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the mains, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• For battery operation, use six R20 (size D)

batteries.

• When the batteries are not to be used,

remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating

voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

• If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

• If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.

Page 25

Notes on cassettes

• Break off the cassette tab from side A or B to prevent accidental recording. If you want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Side A

About CD-Rs/CD-RWs

This CD player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the CD-DA format*, but playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.

* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc

Digital Audio. It is a recording standard used for the Audio CDs.

Tab for side B

Tab for side A

• The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Aiwa dealer.

Page 28

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound during CD operation. Clean with a commercially available blower.

Cleaning the tape heads and tape path

Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback and recording quality. To make the best possible recording, however, we recommend that you clean all surfaces over which tape travels before each recording.

Capstan

Record/playback head

Demagnetizing the tape heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will have built up on the tape heads to begin to cause loss of high frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you should demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer.

Cleaning the cabinet

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

Erase head

Lens

After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
