1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use
only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the
fuse in the moulded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If
the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral

For maintaining the best condition of
the deck and for longer service life, always keep the heads, capstan and
pinch roller clean. To clean them, perform the following:
1. Open the cassette holder.
2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head, capstan and
pinch roller carefully.
Maintenance of the unit
When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc.
for these agents may cause discoloration.
Reference
Caution on condensation
Condensation (of dew) may occur inside the unit when
there is a great difference in temperature between this
unit and the outside.
This unit may not function properly if condensation occurs. In this case, leave the unit for a few hours and restart the operation after the condensation has dried up.
Be specially cautious against condensation in a following
circumstances:
When this unit is carried from one place to another across
a large difference in temperature, when the humidity in
the room where this unit is installed increases, etc.
When the recording / playback head is
magnetized, the sound quality will deteriorate. In such a case, demagnetize the
head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head eraser).
¶ There are precisely aligned parts
around the heads, including the
tape guides. When cleaning, pay
special attention so as not to apply
shock to them.
In regard to contact cleaner
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause
a malfunction. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the
plastic component.

Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold the disc so that you do not touch the
playing surface.
Label side
Playing side
Sticker
Do not attach paper or tape to either the
playing side or the label side of the disc.
Sticky paste
Cleaning
If there are fingerprint marks or foreign
matter found on the disc, lightly wipe the
disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar)
from the center of the disc outwards in a
radial manner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time,
remove it from the player and store it in its case.
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the
player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or
deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive
agent. Please do not use discs which are not round because they may cause malfunction.
Discs which can be played with this unit
CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CD-R, CD-RW, and the audio part of
CDV, CD-G, CD-EG and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply
with the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the
marking on the label surface.
Disc accessories
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner
should not be used with this system because they may
cause malfunction.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has finished, break the
safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being
erased or recorded on accidentally.
For A side
For B side
To re-record
Apply tape only to the position where the tab
has been removed.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store tapes in places which are subjected to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and
wind the reel hub to remove the slack.
¶ Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage
the mechanism of the unit.
Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute
recording time, for the tape used in such a cassette is very thin and tends to cause problem
such as entanglement around the pinch roller or
could be easily cut off.
WARNING NOTICE:
In most cases it is an infringement of copyright to make copies of tapes or discs without the permission
of the copyright owners. Anyone wishing to copy commercially available tapes or disc should contact
the mechanical copyright protection society limited or the performing rights society limited.
