• To turn off the radio, set FUNCTION button to
TAPE or DVD position.
NOTE:
Connect AM and FM antennas correctly,
otherwise the device will not receive signals.
The connecting process is described further.
CASSETTE OPERATION
FAST FORWARD and REWIND BUTTONS
• To fast forward or rewind the tape, press
CASSETTE FAST FORWARD or CASSETTE
REWIND button.
PAUSE BUTTON
• CASSETTE PAUSE button can be used to cut
advertising or to temporarily stop recording.
The tape drive continues working during the
pause, so use this function only for a short
time.
AUTO STOP
• The device is equipped with auto stop mech-
anism. When the tape is recorded to the end,
playback or recording stops automatically.
STOP/EJECT BUTTON
Cassette can be stopped, by pressing
STOP/EJECT button.
SELECTION OF TAPE
• The tape quality and condition affects the
recording quality greatly.
Low quality tapes are often torn and their
parts can get into the cassette mechanism
and seriously damage it. “Wrinkled” tapes
can be played with uneven speed and the
sound will be distorted.
• Use only tapes from known manufacturers.
Tapes with playback/recording time of 120
min (C-120) are not recommended to use
with this system, as their too thin tape can be
torn and cause other damages.
• Don’t use CrO2, Fe-Cr or metal tapes with
this device, use usual tapes of known manufacturers.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
TAPES
After some time, especially if you use cheap
tapes, the sound may become weak, sometimes almost inaudible. In most cases this is
NOT THE FAULT OF THE SYSTEM, but the
result of gathering oxidized metal and other
dirt on the magnetic head. The simplest way
to solve this problem is to buy a cleaning cassette. Carefully read the instructions supplied with it and DO NOT OVERUSE IT, as this
may cause excessive wearing of the magnetic head. Do not try to remove the deposits
with a sharp object.
Other possible causes of problems:
• The tape jams, which causes uneven play-
back speed.
• Tape is winding around the tape drive elements.
To avoid such problems, take the following
measures:
• Check for loosely fitting tape layers using a
window in the cassette center part. Before
inserting the tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pencil or ballpoint pen.
ENGLISH
25
3498.QXD 30.06.2005 23:39 Page 25
• If the tape moves sluggishly, the jams may be
caused by “scars” on the wound tape reel
(can be seen through the central window). In
most cases they can be removed by winding
the tape to another end, and then back.
Another possible cause can be irrecoverable
damage of the tape. Do not use old or worn
out tapes, as this can break the device.
STORAGE OF TAPES
• Do not store your tapes near TV sets or
speakers. The magnetic fields of other
devices can lower the tape sensitivity or even
erase the recording.
• Do not keep tapes, even for a short time, in
hot, damp or dusty places.
RECORDING CAPABILITIES

SETTE STOP/EJECT button (in some cases

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
Angle
Some DVD discs contain various scenes that
have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is
shot from the front, from the right, from the
left and so on.) When viewing such discs and
pressing ANGLE button, you can view the
scene from different angles.
Chapter Number
Chapter numbers are recorded in a DVD. The
film is divided to many numbered chapters.
The required scene can be quickly found with
these numbers.
DVD Disk
This is a high-density optical disc which contains digital signals and provides high quality
video and audio. Using a new video compression technology (MPEG II), as well as highdensity recording technology allows it to provide superlative viewing of continuous video
material recorded on DVD (for example, one
disc can contain the whole film). A DVD disc
consists of two glued thin substrates of 0.6
mm each. Because of the fact that the thinner the disc, the higher is the data compression recorded on it, a DVD disc has more
capacity than a single thick disc of 1.2 mm.
Playback Control (PBC)
This function is recorded on VCD 2.0 discs.
The scenes or information to be viewed (or
listened to) can be selected interactively on
the TV screen using the menu.
Subtitles
Text representation of dialogs in a lower part
of the screen (should be recorded by DVD
recording software)
Playback Timer
Shows playback time passed from the beginning of the disc of film. The function can be
used for quick search of a required scene
(does not work with some discs)
Title Number
These numbers are recorded in a DVD. If
there are several titles on the disc, they are
numbered as Title 1, Title 2 and so on.
Track Number
These numbers are assigned to tracks and
written on a VCD or CD. The required track
can be quickly found with these numbers.
Video CD
Contains both video and audio data. The VCD
quality corresponds to the video tape quality.
This player can also play VCD 2.0 discs with
PBC function.
SPDIF
SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interface Format).
Dolby Digital or DTS signals can be reproduced through optical or coaxial outputs
located on the DVD player rear panel. If you
want to connect DVD player via optical or
coaxial cord to some external device, for
example, to a mini-discs player, DAT, Prologic
amplifiers and so on, read the external device
instructions and select the appropriate settings , RAW or PCM.

cotton swab dipped in alcohol or a special
liquid for cleaning heads. Wait for 10 seconds
before turning on the unit, for alcohol or
cleaning liquid to evaporate.
Greasy spots on the disc surface
Wipe the disc surface with a soft wet cloth
(use only water). Wipe the disc moving from
the center outwards (if you wipe in circular
motion, you may damage the disc’s surface,
that will cause background noise during
playback).

from cold, condensation can form on it.
First wipe the disc with a soft dry cloth (not
fluffy) and only then place it on the disc tray.
