On operating voltage
Before operating the stereo system, check
that the operating voltage of your stereo
system is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
On safety
• The stereo system is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the system itself has been turned
off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet
(mains) if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time. To disconnect
the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the
plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
a component, unplug the stereo system
and have the component checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead)
need to be changed, have it done at a
qualified service shop only.
• As the laser beam used in this unit is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
On installation
• Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup in the stereo system.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position.
• Do not install the unit in locations where
it is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Vibrating
– Subject to direct sunlight
On condensation in the CD player
component
If the system is brought directly from a cold
to a warm one, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside any CDs player. Should this occur,
the CD player will not operate. Remove any
CDs and leave the system turned on for
about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
When you are using a type II (CrO2)
cassette, be careful not to cover the detector
slots which allow the tape player to
automatically detect the type of tape.
TYPE II
Detector slots
In case color irregularity is observed
on nearby a TV screen.
With the magnetically shielded type of
speaker system, the speakers can be
installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularity may still be observed on the TV
screen depending on the type of your TV
set.
If color irregularity is observed…
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on
after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again…
Place the speakers farther away from the
TV set.

Maintenance
To clean the tape heads and tape
path
Contaminated tape heads cause poor
recording or sound dropout in playback.
We recommend cleaning after every 10
hours of operation.
Open the cassette holder and wipe the
heads, pinch rollers and capstans with a
cleaning swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol. Wipe the parts
shown below:
Insert a tape after the areas cleaned are
completely dry.
To demagnetize the tape heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual
magnetism will have built up on the heads
to begin to cause loss of high frequencies
and hiss. At this time, demagnetize the
heads and all metal parts in the tape path
with a commercially available tape head
demagnetizer. Refer to the instructions of
the demagnetizer.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution.
To clean the CD
When a CD is dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.
Notes on CDs
• Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or antistatic spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on
the CD, it may cause a tracking error.
