Compliance with these requirements provides a reasonable level of assurance that your use of this product, in a commercial environment, will not result in harmful interference with other electronic devices. However, operation of this product in a residential area is likely to cause interference in some form. In this case you, the user, bear the responsibility of correcting this condition.

This product generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed and used according to the instructions found in the users manual, may cause interference harmful to the operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference will not occur in all installations. If this product is found to be the source of interference, which can be determined by turning the product "OFF" and "ON", please try to eliminate the problem using one of the following measures:

Relocate either the product generating the interference of the device that is being affected by the interference.

Utilize power outlets that are on different branch (circuit breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter/s.

1. This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To

ensure proper operation for the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully.

2. Choose the installation location of your unit carefully.

Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as transformers or motors.
