one way into a power outlet, If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and
try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please
call a qualified service technician to service or replace the
outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock,
. Ipower cords should be routed to avoid being SeVereiy bent,

voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANS1/NFPA 70, provides informaticm
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the anterma discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.

To demagnetizethe heads
The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This
may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase
noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with
any commercially available demagnetizer.
Care of discs
● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
Care of tapes
● Store tapes in their cases after use.
● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality
and cause noise.
● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
