If the set is not used for a long period of time or is used only
from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to prevent
potential damage due to possible battery leakage.
Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. Do not leave it
in an automobiie exposed to direct sunlight for a long time with the
doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.
Avoid cuts, scratches, or poor connections in the AC power cord, as
they may result in possible fire or electric shock hazard, Also,
excessive bending, pulling or splicing of the cord should be avoided.
Do not unplug the AC power cord by pulling on the cord. To do so
may cause premature failure or shock hazard.
Do not operate the set on AC power in a bathroom, as a potential
shock hazard may result.
When not in use, disconnect the AC power cord from the household

In the event of a power failure, or if the AC power cord is disconnected
from the household AC power outlet (during AC operation), or should
the batteries fail, the memory back-up batteries will preserve the preset
memory of this unit.
Please read “Use of batteries” on page 7.

the battery compartment, making sure that the batteries are installed
in the designated numerical order that the proper polarities are
maintained.
Qa
Battery removal
Press the © side of the battery No. 4.
Battery life
The life of the memory back-up batteries is about one year.
• The life of the memory back-up batteries can be prolonged by
keeping the AC power cord plugged in the household power outlet
at all times.
• When disconnecting the AC power cord, switch off the power first
using the power button.
• The life of the memory back-up batteries is reduced if the AC
power cord is disconnected from a household AC outlet with the
power still supplied.
• While exchanging the memory back-up batteries, be sure to
connect the AC power cord both to the unit and to the household
AC outlet.

Tape head demagnetization
In order to maintain good sound quality, it is recommended that the
head assembly be demagnetized when distortion or poor sound quality
persists after cleaning the head. If the head assembly becomes
magnetized, it could create loss of high frequency response.
Several types of head demagnetizers are available and may be
purchased separately at local electronics supply stores. Follow the
instructions that are supplied with the device.
Do not bring any type of metal objects or tools such as magnetic
screwdrivers in contact with the head assembly.
