Installation
Avoid locations nearby tuners or television sets.
Since this unit uses high-frequency signals, placing it near a tuner or
television se t may result
in
interference with the tunerfTV reception.
If
this kind of audio or video interference is experienced, move the
OAT unit away (rom other
AV
components.
The some kind of phenomenon may occur when using an indoor
TV
antenna; whenever possible, use
an
outdoor antenna instead.
Precautions when using
an
indoor wire-strip
antenna (T-antenna) with
FM
tuner.
Separate the horizontal elements of the FM antenna
at
least 1.5 m
from the tuner.
Do
not allow the feeder wire from
an
indoor or outdoor FM antenna
to
drape near the OAT unit.
If
excess feeder wire is present inside the
room, coil
it
up as far as possible away from the OAT unit.
DA T Head and Tape Transport Cleaning
As with any tape based recording media, the head and transport may
become contaminated due to exposure
to
dust or dirt. To maintain
the best possible recording/playback, we recommend periodic
cteaning.

s.
Be sure that connections are made securely .
Store the dust cap securely . and replace
it
whenever cables are not
connected
to
the terminals. If dust
is all
owed

About OPTICAL connector
When the optical connectors are used. electrical signals are
converted into light signals
