REPRODUCE THIS AM STEREO SIGNAL ONLY IN AM MONO, WHICH, IN EFFECT, IS OF NO LESSER QUALITY

THAN YOUR EXISTING AM MONO MUSIC SYSTEM.

Suggestions for safety

Placement Power cord protection

Avoid placing the unit in areas of:

•direct sunlight

•high temperature

• high humidity

•excessive vibration

•uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and
thereby shorten the unit s service life.
To protect the unit against sound distortion and acoustical effects, please place
the unit at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces etc.

Ventilation

Place the unit in a well-ventilated position at least 10 cm away from wall
surfaces etc.

Ensure that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Stacking

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.

Voltage

• ft is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such as for an
air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.

•A DC power source can not be used. * *
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a ship or other
pface where DC is used.

• Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC main cord, as this may
result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided.

•Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could
cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power
supply.

•Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.

Foreign materials

• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdrivers etc.,
accidentally fail into the unit or through the ventilation holes.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.

• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or
electric shock could occur.

(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if this oc

curs.)

• Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable gases

which can be ignited.

• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be

used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet
finish.

Service

• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to
be a probiem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary measure,

• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to

light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service
Center immediately.

• Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time.

Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.

For your reference:

You cannot select Dolby NR for one deck but not the other. We

recommend you use tapes of the same type (Dolby noise reduction).

About Dolby Noise Reduction system

Using Dolby NR reduces tape hiss in the high-frequency range. It
boosts the level of the high-frequency during recording, and lowers it
by the same amount during playback, simultaneously reducing high-

frequency interference incurred during the recording process.

Noise is reduced to about one-third.

Use this system when playing back tapes recorded by the Dolby-B
noise-reduction system, such as prerecorded music tapes, etc.

Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Concerning compact discs

Concerning cassette tapes

With this changer, you can only play compact
discs having this mark.

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Handling precautions

To open the compact disc case, gently press the sides of the top and
pull up.

To remove the disc from the case, press the center holder and lift the
disc, holding by the edges.

To return the disc to the case, insert the disc with the label facing up
and press downward at the center.

Hold compact discs by the edges so as not to soil the surface with

fingerprints. Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and

distortion.

(Correct)

(Incorrect)

Selection of cassette tapes

Cassette tapes exceeding 100 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.

Endless-tapes

Failure to operate these tapes correctly may cause the tape to wind
around the revolving parts.
For this unit, it is recommended to use the tape which is appropriate
to the auto reverse mechanism.

Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE lU)

The high frequency range will be emphasized, and it will not be
possible to obtain a flat frequency response.

Tape slack

Tape slack may cause the tape to break.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity

prevention liquids or any other solvent on a disc.

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.

(Incorrect)

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 ball-point pen or other writing

instrument.

Do not use the cleaning disc.

Storage precautions

Erasure prevention

Remove the tab(s).

To re-record on a protected cassette

Cover the slot with adhesive tape.

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 on the rear deck of an automobile

Tape storage

Tapes can be damaged if stored in places such as those described
below.

•Where the temperature is high (35°C or higher) or where the humid
ity is high (80% or higher)

•Where there is a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a
TV, etc.). Recording may become erased.

Maintenance

Maintenance of external surfaces

To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth.
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 unit.
Wipe once again with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or chemically treated
cloths to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage the finish of
your system.

Tape head care

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

1. Press ^ OPEN to open the cassette holder.

2. Press POWER to put your system on standby.

3. Clean the heads, pinch roller and the capstan shaft with a cotton
swab (or with a soft, lint-free cloth) slightly moistened with isopro
pyl alcohol.
Do not use any solution other than alcohol for head cleaning.
