PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE

, ,

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber feet to prevent the product from

, , moving when you operate the controls. These feet are made from nonmigrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes,

, , wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber feet to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centres everywhere,

, , and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber feet before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

IMPORTANT: Raising And Lowering The Lid

To open the lid, raise it as far as it will go until the lid support bracket locks in the open position.

, ,

To close the lid, lift it upward slightly until the lid support bracket unlocks , and then gently lower the lid.

TO AVOID DAMAGING THE CABINET OR THE LID, NEVER FORCE THE LID

CLOSED. ALWAYS RAISE THE LID TO RELEASE THE LID SUPPORT

BRACKET.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CASSETTE CARE

Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:

1.) Tape jamming - Leading to uneven speed in playback, and

2.) Tape tangling - Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.

To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:

Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette centre window (see

Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2).

,, ,,

If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be

,, ,, jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the centre window).

These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.

Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.

16

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

COMPACT DISC CARE

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the discs recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.

CARE OF THE CABINETS

You should care for the cabinet as you would care for any piece of the furniture.

When the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive dust cloth. If the cabinet becomes smudged with fingerprints you may use any good quality commercial dusting and polishing spray cleaner, however avoid spraying the plastic or metal parts of this system. We recommend that you spray the cleaner on your dust cloth, not directly on the cabinet, to avoid getting any of the spray on the plastic or metal parts.
