On safety

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Unplug the system from the AC power outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On installation

•

Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the stereo system. Do not place the unit in an inclined

•

position.

•

Do not place 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 location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated. If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Side A

Troubleshooting Guide

If you run into any problem using this stereo system, use the following check list. And first check the following points:

➔The batteries have run down.

Replace both batteries.

➔There is an obstacle between the

remote and the system. Remove the obstacle.

Restoring the Factory Settings

Hold down DISPLAY/DEMO, TUNER/BAND and MENU 3 at the same time.

Maintenance

To clean the tape heads and tape path

Contaminated tape heads cause poor recording or sound drop-out in playback. We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation.

Open the tape compartment and wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol. Wipe the parts shown below:

Deck A Cleaning

swab

Deck B Cleaning

swab

Playback head

Erase head

Capstan

Pinch roller

Capstan

There is no sound.

➔Rotate VOLUME clockwise. ➔The headphones are connected.

Disconnect them.

Sound comes from one channel or unbalanced left and right volume.

➔Check the speaker connections of

the inoperative channel.

The left and right sound are reversed.

➔Check the speaker connection and

speaker placement.

Bass is lacking or the location of the musical instruments is apparently imprecise.

➔Check the speaker connection for

proper phasing.

There is severe hum or noise.

➔A TV or VCR is too close to the

stereo system. Move the stereo system away from the TV or VCR.

“12:00 AM” flashes in the display.

➔A power interruption occurred. Set

the clock again.

Pinch roller

Record/playback head

Insert a tape when 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 mild detergent solution.

To clean the CD

When a CD is dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

Notes on CD

•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.
