Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within

an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user

to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”

within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user te the presence of important operating and maintenance (sen/icing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.

Installation 1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41 °F) or greater than 35°C (95“F).

3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.

Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the

unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands — When placed

or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fail.

1 ENGLISH

7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit fer a few hours, then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting—The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

with poiarized AC power plugs,which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord

from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not

use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC

power plug if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths

After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.) When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head, erasure head (deck 1 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned

parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.

To demagnetize the heads

The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This

may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any

commercially available demagnetizes

Care of discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

•

After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the

disc in places that are hot or humid.

15 ENGLISH

Care of tapes

• Store tapes in their cases after use.

• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
