4 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating this appliance. Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the instruction manual. Follow all the safety and operating instructions. These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

1. Power sources – The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the instruction manual or as marked on the appliance. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For appliances intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the instruction manual.

	pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
	receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
	appliance.
	3. CAUTION – Polarization – This appliance may
	be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
	plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
	fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
	feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
	outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
	fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
	Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
	4. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are
	provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
	the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these
	openings must not be blocked or covered. The appliance
	should be situated so that its location or position does not
	interfere with its proper ventilation.

	used near water - for example, near a bathtub,
	washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
	basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
	6. Temperature – The appliance may not function
	properly if used at extremely low, or freezing
	temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature is
	above +5°C (41°F).
	7. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from
	heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
	or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
	heat.
	8. Electric shock – Care should be taken so that objects
	do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the enclosure
	through openings. If a metal objects, such as a hair
	pin or a needle, comes into contact with the inside of
	this appliance, a dangerous electric shock may result.
	For families with children, never permit children to
	put anything, especially metal, inside this appliance.
	9. Enclosure removal – Never remove the enclosure.
	If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious
	electric shock might occur.

Examples of TV screen display of each video format

When your TV is switchable between PAL/ SECAM/NTSC

Try play a disc. If the picture is black and white or as shown on the right, stop playback and switch the screen display formats of this unit and the TV to another format. This will improve the played picture quality.

When your TV is compatible only with the PAL or SECAM format

With certain discs, the playback picture may have black spaces above and below it (as shown on the right). This is because the disc has been recorded in the NTSC format. The screen may be somewhat hard to see but this is not malfunction.

When your TV is compatible only with the NTSC format

With certain discs, the playback picture may be cut above and below it (as shown on the right). This is because the disc has been recorded in the PAL or SECAM format. The screen may be somewhat hard to see but this is not malfunction.

Video formats

The video signals used to display TV pictures and video disc pictures are mainly based on two types of signal formats (PAL, SECAM and NTSC), which are assigned to each country or area as shown on the right. As a result, it is required to select discs according to the video format used with your TV monitor (in your country or area).

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 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.

To re-record Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.

1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape

Notes

Since longer tape than 110 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.

2.Endless tapes

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