Notes

• This Unit may generate noise depending on the positioning of the AC adaptor.
Place the Unit and AC adaptor as shown in the figure.

• This Unit has two remote sensors, one on the front panel and the other on the rear panel.
When remote controlling this Unit while carrying it piggyback, point the Remote Control to the remote sensor on the rear panel.

• The Remote Control of this Unit uses the infrared transmission system.
As a result, Remote Control may be unavailable when the remote sensors of the Unit are exposed to direct sunlight. Please

note that this is not a malfunction.

• If you record on a tape with the volume level kept at a high level, recorded sounds may be distorted.
To avoid this, turn down the volume level before you start recording.

Remarques

• Cet appareil est susceptible d’être bruyant en fonction de la position de l’adaptateur secteur.
Installez l’appareil et l’adaptateur CA comme indiqué sur la figure.

Cet appareil est équipé de deux capteurs de signaux de télécommande: un sur le panneau avant et l’autre sur le panneau arrière.

•
Si vous utilisez la télécommande pour piloter votre appareil alors que vous le portez sur votre dos, dirigez-la vers le capteur

situé sur le panneau arrière.

• La télécommande de cet appareil fonctionne par transmission infrarouge.
C’est pourquoi il peut être impossible d’utiliser la télécommande lorsque les capteurs infrarouges sont exposés directement

aux rayons solaires. Cela n’est pas un dysfonctionnement.
Si vous enregistrez sur une cassette avec le niveau de volume réglé sur une position élevée, le son enregistré peut être distordu.

•
Pour éviter ceci, réduisez le volume avant de commencer l’enregistrement.
