Safety
• This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz.
Check that the unit’s operating voltage is
identical with your local power supply.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit
and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as
long as it is plugged in the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never
by the cord.

• Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipmen t
with strong magnets, such as microwave o ven s o r

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a

tape. When you first install the unit, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for
about three hours before operating the unit.
