Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wait outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for

an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

There is the 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

suppiy 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.

■ 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 extrerrrely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a Hre 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 cabiriet 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.

Before Use

Be sure to disconnect the mains cord before adjusting the voltage selector. Use a minus (-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector (on the rear panel) to the voltage setting for the area in which toe unit will be

used.

THIS TUNER/RECEIVER IS CAPABLE OF RECEIVING THE NEW AM STEREO BROADCASTS FROM THE AM BAND RADIO STATIONS. HOWEVER LIKE MANY TUNERS AND RECEIVERS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET IT WILL REPRODUCE THIS AM STEREO SIGNAL ONLY IN AM MONO. WHICH, IN EFFECT, IS OF NO LESSER

QUALITY THAN YOUR EXISTING AM MONO TUNER/RECEIVER.

(If the power supply in your area is 117 V or 120 V, set to the

"110-127 V" position.)

Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector tor some countries;

the correct voltage is already set.)

About Compact Discs

Handling precautions

Only compact discs having this mark can be used with this unit.

_n COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Observe the following precautions to enjoy the same outstanding 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 objects, particularly when inserting and removing discs from their cases.

•Do not bend the disc.

•Do not use record cleaning sprays or static electricity 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) cloth.

•When wiping discs, always move the cloth directly outward from the center of the disc, not in a circular motion as with standard

phonograph records.

(In compact discs, circular scratches along a tine 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 cloth before using the disc.

•Do not dry discs with a hair dryer.

•Do not write on the label side with a ball-pCMnt pen, hard pencil or

other writing utensil.

•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 places;

1) Locations exposed to direct sunlight.

2) Humid or dusty locations.

3) Locations directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating

appliance.

4) In the glove compartment or rear ledge of an automobile.

Maintenance

care

Head

To assure good sound quaiity for 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 moistened with alcohol. Do not use any solution other than alcohol for head cleaning.

Head demagnetization

In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and playback, it is recommended that the heads should be demagne tized If distortion or poor sound quality persist after cleaning the heads. If the heads become magnetized, they could create noise in recordings, loss of high-frequency response, or erasure of valuable recordings. 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 toots 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 cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage the unit's finish.
