Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Usa 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.

■ 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.

■ Ba sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface

If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.

■ Hever attempt to repair nor reconstruct this

unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, dis
assembled 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 igriited 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.

■ If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer

illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke Is detected, imme
diately disconrtect the power cord plug, and contact with your
dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

(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

generally replace the batteries about once a year.

•Replace the batteries if commands from the remote control trans
mitter 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.

Operation notes

•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.

•Reier to “Use o1 batteries” for additional information.

3 Close the cover.

•If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them prop

erly. Thoroughly dean the battery compartment before inserting
new batteries.

Using Dolby NR reduces tape hiss in the high-frequency range, it
boosts the levei of the high-frequency program content during

simultaneously reducing high-frequency noise incurred during the

recording process.

This system has the Dolby B-type of noise-reduction system. With

Dolby B, noise is reduced to about one-third. If you are playing a
tape that was recorded with Dolby NR, use the Dolby NR mode
during playback.

Care & Use

Concerning Cassette Tapes

■ Selection of cassette tapes

Cassette 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 mechan
ism.

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 im

possible to obtain a flat frequency response.

•Metal tape for recording

Recordings will be very distorted. (There is no problem during
playback, however.)

■ To prevent erasure of a recorded tape

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

■ Improper tape storage

You can damage tape if you store it in the foltowing ways:

•In high temperature [35°C (95°F) 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.

To re-record on a protected csseette

Cover the slot with adhesive tape.

■ Tape slack

Tape slack may cause the tape to break.

55

Care & Use

Concerning Compact Discs

(continued)

With this system, you can only use compact
discs having this mark:

П COMPACT

Ш0§(§

DIGITAL AUDIO

■ Handling precautions

•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 skip
ping and distortion.

• 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 label side with a bail-point pen or other writing
instrument.

■ 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 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.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner^ static elec
tricity 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.

Maintenance

■ Cassette deck head care

To ensure good sound quality for recording and playback, be sure
to clean the heads approximately every 10 hours of use.

1) Turn off the power of the system.

2) Press the 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, iint-free cloth) slightly moistened with iso­propyi 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

playback, we recommend that you demagnetize the head assem
bly when 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 demagnetizer.

• 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
cloth well before wiping the surfaces. Then wipe once again with a

soft, dry cloth.

•Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated

doth to clean the cabinet or controls. Such chemicals may dam

age the finish of your system.
