Suggestions for Safety
■ Use a standard AC wall outlet
1. Um from an AC power source ol high voltage, such as for
an air conditioner, is very dangerous.
There is the possit»lity 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 Hems 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.
■ 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 on the unit
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 troubles.
■ If trouble occurs
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer
illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected, immediately
disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your dealer or an
Authorized Service Center.

partment. If the batteries are not inserted cor
rectly, they may leak and damage the
remote-control transmitter.
3. Close the cover.
•Do not use rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
type batteries.
Remote-control transmitter operation notes
•Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries
of different types (carbon and alkaline, etc.).
•if the remote-control transmitter is not to be
used for a long period of time, take out the
batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.
•Remove and dispose of worn-out batteries.
•Never attempt to recharge or short-circuit the
batteries, and do not disassemble them or
expose them to excessive heat or throw them
into a fire.
•If a battery leaks, remove both batteries and
dispose of them, and then thoroughly clean
the battery compartment before inserting
new batteries.
Be sure the transmitter part of the remote-control
transmitter and the receptor part of this unit are
free from dust.

nent at the same time as this remote-con
trol transmitter is being used, because to
do so might result in incorrect operation.
3. If this unit is installed in a rack with glass
doors, the glass doors’ thickness or color
might make it necessary to use the re
mote-control transmitter a shorter dis
tance from the unit.
Avoid dust.
4. The control panel of the remote-control
transmitter may be covered by a clear
plastic protective sheet. This sheet can be
removed if desired.

About Cassette Tapes
Avoid the following types of tapes
•120-mtnute (or longer) tapes
Because this tape is very thin, it might stretch during use, become
tangled with rotating parts in this unit, and/or tape movement
might not be stable,
•Fe-Cr tape (TYPE III)
The high range wilt be emphasized and a flat frequency response
characteristic cannot be obtained.
*Metal tape
In particular, recordings will be very distorted.
About Compact Discs
Notes about the handling of cassettes
If the tape in the cassette is loose, the tape can easily break during
use or otherwise be damaged. Never tmjch the tape itself, or
attempt to pull it out of the cassette.
Use a pencil or similar
object to take up the
slack.
Avoid tape storage in the following
places
Tape can be damaged if it is stored in places such as described
below.
•Where the temperature is high (95’F/35’C or higher) or where the
humidity is high (60% or higher).
•Where there is a strong magnetic field (rtear a speaker, on top of
a TV, etc.).
•In direct sunlight.
Handling precautions
Only compact discs having this mark
can be used vfith this unit.
DIGtTAL AUDIO
Observe the following precautions to enjoy the same out
standing sonic performance from your Compact Discs for
many years.
•Hold compact discs by the edges so the surface is not soiled with
fingerprints.
•Be careful not to scratch the surface with fingernails or other sharp
ejects, particularly when inserting and removing discs from their
cases.
•Do not bend the disc.
•Do not use record cleaning sprays or static elecbicity prevention
liquids.
•Do not wipe with benzine, thinner or any other solvent. If the
surface Is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) doth.
•When wiping discs, always move the cloth directly outward from
the center of the disc, not in a drcular motion as with standard
phonograph records.
(In compact discs, circular scratches along a line of pits are more
likely to cause errors than straight scratches across many lines of
pits.)
•If the disc is brought from a cold environment into a warm room,
moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this off with a soft, dry,
lint-free doth before using the disc.
•Do not dry discs with a hair dryer.
•Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen, hard pencil or
other writing utendl.
•Handle compact discs with care. Fingerprints, dirt and scratches
can cause skipping and distortion.
Storage precautions
•Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.
•Do not place or store discs in the following daces:
1 ) Locations exposed to direct sunlight,
2) Humid or dusty locations.
3) Locations direefiy exprraed to a heat outlet or heating appli
ance.
4) In tiie glove compartment or rear ledge of an automobile.

Maintenance
Head care Head demagnetization
To assure good sound quality tor recording and playback, be sure
to clean the heads after approximately every 10 hours of use.
1. Switch the power of this unit to standby mode.
2. Press the eject button to open the cassette holder.
3. Clean the heads, pinch roller and the capstan shaft of each deck
with a cotton swab (or with a soft, lint-free cloth) slightly moist
ened with alcohol.
Do not use any solution other than alcohol tor head cleaning.
In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and play
back, it is recommended that the heads should be demagnetized if
distortion or poor sound quality persist after cleaning the heads.
If the heads become magnetized, they could create noise in record
ings, loss of high-frequency response, or erasure of valuable re
cordings. Several types of head demagnetizers are available and
may be purchased 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.
Maintenance of external surfaces
To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth.
For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth In a weak soap-and-water
solution and wring well. After cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry doth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated
cloth to clean this unit.
Such chemicals may damage the unit's finish.

Problem
While listening to FM broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is
hsard when listening to the
broadcast in stereo, but not
heard when listening
monaurally.
Noise is excessive in both
stereo and monaural
broadcasts.
Excessive distortion in the
sound of stereo broadcasts.
Sound is distorted,
“popping” noise is heard,
and/or the volume level
becomes low.
Due to the differences between a monaural and a
stereo signal, a higher level of signal strength is
required for proper stereo reception. If the signal
level is low, a hissing noise may be produced on
the stereo channel.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
Nearby building or mountain.
[Multipath distortion is being caused by the mutual
interference of broadcast signals received directly
from the transmitting station (direct waves) and
signals being reflected from nearby buildings or
mountains (reflected waves).]
Broadcast signals are being disturbed by nearby
automobile traffic or airplanes.
While listening to AM broadcasts
An unusual “beat” sound is
heard.
Unit is being used at the same time as the
television set.
Interference from adjacent broadcast signals.
Probable cause(s)
Suggested remedy
*Try reducing the treble sound by using the equalizer
controls.
•Set for monaural reception to reduce the hiss.
Note, however, that the broadcast will not be heard
as stereo.
•Try changing the location, height and/or direction of
the antenna.
•If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an
outdoor antenna.
•Try using an antenna with more elements.
•Try changing the location, height and/or direction of
