I Suggestions for Safety

§:

■

Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous. There is a possibility that a fire might be caused by making such a connection.

2. A DC power source cannot be used. Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.

■

Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply cord

1. Wet hands are dangerous. A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands.

2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord, and never force It to bend sharply.

■

Place the unit where it will be well ventilated

Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc. Be careful that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

■

Avoid places such as the following:

In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature Is high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity. Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

■

Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface.

If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.

■

Never attempt to repair or reconstruct this unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the internal parts are accidentally touched.

■

Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.

■

If water is spilled

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

■

Avoid spray-type Insecticides

Insecticides might cause cracks or “cloudiness” in the cabinet and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might, moreover, be ignited suddenly.

■

Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

■

Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this will not only shorten its useful operation life, but may also cause other trouble.

■

If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, im¬ mediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

One touch editing (Al function)

The Al (Artificial Intelligence) function will rearrange the compact disc tracks order to minimize leftover tape at the end of side “A" of

your cassette. The tape is advanced and then rewound in order to measure its length. This is done so that the comact disc player can estimate which song order best fits on side "A". After recording has been completed on side “A”, the compact disc player accurately deter¬ mines the amount of leftover blank tape. If the amount of blank tape is great, the tape deck rewinds the tape end and the compact disc

player selects a different track order that best fits on side “A”.

•120-minute (or longer) tapes Because the tape is very thin, it might stretch during use causing

unstable tape movement which may result in the tape becoming tangled in the rotating parts of this unit.

•Fe*Cr tapes (TYPE III) The high frequency range will be emphasized and it will not be

possible to obtain a flat frequency response.

•Metal tape without detection holes in the cassette Recordings will be very distorted. (There is no playback problem,

however.)

To prevent erasure of recorded sounds

Remove the erase-prevention tabs (thus preventing recording).

■

To re-record on a protected cassette

Cover the slot with adhesive tape.

•Where the temperature is high (950F/350C or higher) or where the humidity is high (80% or higher).

•Where there is a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc.). Recording may become erased.
