Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in tlie CD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• For AC operation, use the supplied
AC power cord; do not use any other type.
• The player is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been
turned off.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the rear.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.
• If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring­wound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
• When you move the player, be sure to
first remove the CD(s), otherwise, you may not be able to take out the CD(s) later or trouble with the unit may occur.

Maintenance

Cleaning the tape heads and tape path

Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and
the capstans with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback and recording quality. To make the best possible recording, however, we recommend that you clean all surfaces over which tape travels before each recording.
Deck A

Demagnetizing the tape heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will have built up on the tape heads to begin to cause loss of high frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you should demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvenf, such as alcohol or benzine.
After cleaning, insert a tape when the
areas cleaned are completely dry.
