Before operating your CD automatic changer:
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer.
• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD changer or the discs are inserted upside
down, “NO CD” or “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the
magazine and set the discs correctly.
• If “RESET 1 - RESET 8” appears on the display , something is wrong with the connection
between this unit and the CD changer. If this happens, check the connection, connect
the connecting cord(s) firmly if necessary , then press the reset button of the CD changer.

MAINTENANCE
To extend the lifetime of the unit
This unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend the life of the unit if you
follow the instructions below.
ENGLISH
To clean the heads
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available
at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty , you may realize
the following symptoms:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes to their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store tapes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
CAUTIONS:
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit.
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism.
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.
How to reset your unit
Press and hold both the SEL (Select) and (Standby/On/ATT) buttons at the
same time for several seconds.
