HANDLING OF DISCS AND TAPES
Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold the discs 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 discs.
Sticky paste
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter
become attached to 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.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished,
break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.
Discs which can be played with this unit
CD (12 cm, 8 cm) 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.
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 a
malfunction.
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.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject
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
For A side
For B side
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole
and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.
To re-record
Apply tape only to the position where the tab has
been removed.
Note :
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
•
• Do not use a cassette with more than 90 minutes recording time, for the tape used in such a cassette
is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as engantlement around the pinch roller or cutting of
tape.
