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.
A fire might be caused by 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,
nor 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 inciined, a malfunction may result.
■ Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this unit
A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, disassem
bled 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, more
over, 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 not only will
shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble.
a If trouble occurs
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer
illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, immediately
disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an
Authorized Service Center.

When you need to replace these batteries, use two UM-4
‘'AAA", lEC R03 (1.5 V) or equivalent batteries.
Use of batteries
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types
(carbon and alkaline, etc,).
The average battery life is about one year. Although the battery life
varies depending on how often the device is used, you should gener
ally replace the batteries about once a year.
Replace the batteries if commands from the remote control transmit
ter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to
the front panel.
Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt to
disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.
If you will not be using the remote control for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.
Be sure that you insert the batteries so that their positive (+) and
negative (-) polarities match the polarities indicated in the
compartment. Batteries installed incorrectly may leak and cause
damage.
Refer to “Use of batteries" for additional information.
3 Close the cover.
If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them properly.
Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inserting new bat
teries.
If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush
with water immediately.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Do not use rechargeable-type (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries.
Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and dispose
of them properly.
Do not dispose of used batteries in household rubbish.

Care & Use
Concerning Cassette Tapes -
Selection of cassette tapes
Cassene tapes exceeding 90 minutes:
These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording time but
be careful about repeatedly stopping and starting, rewinding and fast
forwarding these tapes in short intervals as they are thin, tend to
stretch and may become entangled in the deck mechanism.
Do not use the following types of tapes In this unit:
Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE III)
This type emphasizes the high-frequency range, making it impossible
to obtain a flat frequency response.
Metal or chromium-type tape;
Sound will be badly distorted.
To prevent erasure of a recorded tape
Remove the erase-prevention tabs (thus preventing recording). To re-record on a protected cassette:
Cover the slot with adhesive tape.
Tape slack
Tape slack may cause the tape to break.
Improper tape storage
You can damage tape if you store it in the following ways:
In high temperature (35°C or higher) or high humidity (80% or higher)
areas.
In a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc,). This
can erase a recording.
In direct sunlight.

Care & Use (continued)
Concerning Compact Discs
With this system, you can only use compact
discs having this mark:
Handling precautions
[alngfg
DIGITAL AUDIO
To open the compact disc case, gently press the sides of the top,
holding the top at both sides and pull up.
To remove the disc from the case, press the center holder and lift the
disc, holding it by the edges.
/
Center holder
To return the disc to the case, insert the disc with label facing up and
press downward at the center.
Hold compact discs by the edges so you will not soil the surface with
fingerprints. 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 use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity
prevention liquids, or any other solvent.
If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only)
cloth.
Always move the cloth directly outward from the center of the disc,
not in a circular motion as with standard phonograph records.
If you are taking the disc from a cold to a warm environment, moisture
may form on the disc. Wipe this off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth
before using the disc.
Do not write on the labei side with a bail-point pen or other writing
instrument.
Do not place or store discs in the following places;
1) Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Humid or dusty locations.
3) Locations directly exposed to a heat vent or heating appliance.
4) In the glove compartment or rear deck of an automobile.
Maintenance
Cassette deck head care
To ensure good sound quality for recording and playback, be sure to
clean the heads approximately after every 10 hours of use.
1) Turn off the povirer of the system.
2) Press the stop/eject button to open the cassette holder.
3) Clean the heads, pinch roller, and the capstan shaft with a cotton
swab (or with a soft, lint-free cloth) slightly moistened wrtti isopro
pyl alcohol. Do not use any solution other than alcohol for head
cleaning.
Cassette deck head demagnetization
In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and play
back, we recommend that you demagnetize the head assembly if
there is still distortion or poor sound quality after you have cleaned
the heads.
If the head assembly becomes magnetized, it could create noise in
your recordings, cause a loss of high-frequency response, or cause
the erasure of valuable recordings. There are several types of head
demagnetizers that you can purchase at local electronics supply
stores.
Follow the instructions that are supplied with the derhagnetizer.
Do not touch the head assembly with any type of metal object or tool
such as a magnetic screwdriver.
Maintenance of external surfaces
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cabinet and controls.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth, dipped in a
soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution. Wring the cioth
well before wiping the surfaces. Then wipe once again with a soft, dry
cloth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated
cloth to clean the cabinet or controls. Such chemicals may damage
the finish of your system.
