Special notes

NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable

(moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or

and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:

● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELEC-

TRICIAN.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral

Brown : Live

Erase head

Recording/Playback head

" After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions carefully before use.

! Cleaning the CD pickup lens

Poor performance during CD playback (skipping or jumping) can be caused by a dirty or contaminated CD laser pick up lens. If this happens then the use of a commercially available CD lens cleaning discs may restore normal operation. Contact your supplier or local

CD software dealer to obtain CD lens cleaning discs. Ensure all included instructions/documentation are carefully followed.

! Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

" Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

" Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
