17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside antenna

is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure.

18.Power lines – An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

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.

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.

Preparations

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.

For A side

For B side

To re-record

Notes

Notes

1.Longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape is
very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or
be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not
be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

Apply tape only to the position
where the tab has been removed.

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.

N

S

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.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the
mechanism of the unit.
