PRECAUTIONS On Safety
As the laser beam used in the CD
player section may be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must not be covered for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnets.
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.
This CD player is designed to be
played on a stable no vibration position. If you bump the set or table it is sitting on during CD play, the music will stop or skip for a few seconds. This is normal for this type of player.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please contact our customer service department at 1-800-315-5885.

PRECAUTIONS (continued) Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the
CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause a tracking
error or skipping.
Notes on Cassettes
Break off the cassette tab from side A
or B to prevent accidental recording.
Side A
Tab for side B
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for side A or B with adhesive tape.
The use of a cassette with more than
90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long continuous recording or playback.
To reduce the chances of tape
jamming or tangling, you should check
that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center
window. If any, tighten these loose
layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound during CD operation. Clean with a commercially available lens cleaner and blower.
Cleaning the Tape Heads
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback and recording quality. After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.

Notes for Storing Cassette Tapes
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.
