CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
• Disconnect the system from AC power before cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft dust cloth.
HANDLING CDS
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
CLEANING CDS
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
TAPE CARE
• Do not expose tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or damage the tape itself.
• Keep cassettes in their boxes when not in use.
• Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical transformers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS
Iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape can build up on the parts that come in contact with the tape. These deposits can cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent automatic stop.
To clean a cassette deck, open the compartment door, press PLAY and gently clean the heads, capstan, and pinch wheel with a head cleaner.
Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, and allow 30 minutes drying time after using a liquid cleaner.
Clean heads after every 25 hours of use.
• Demagnetize the head occasionally with a head demagnetizing cassette (available from many audio equipment stores).
• Never use any metal objects on or near the tape heads.
• Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the tape assembly.

CLEANING CDS
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
TAPE CARE
• Do not expose tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or damage the tape itself.
• Keep cassettes in their boxes when not in use.
• Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical transformers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS
Iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape can build up on the parts that come in contact with the tape. These deposits can cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent automatic stop.
To clean a cassette deck, open the compartment door, press PLAY and gently clean the heads, capstan, and pinch wheel with a head cleaner.
Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, and allow 30 minutes drying time after using a liquid cleaner.
Clean heads after every 25 hours of use.
• Demagnetize the head occasionally with a head demagnetizing cassette (available from many audio equipment stores).
• Never use any metal objects on or near the tape heads.
• Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the tape assembly.

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.
• You can only use type I tape for recording.
• DO NOT turn off the unit while playing back or recording a tape. The cassette deck or tapes may be damaged.
• DO NOT use type II and type IV tapes since the unit is not compatible with such tapes.
• The use of C-120 or longer tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE PLAYING CDs
Playable CDs:
Only CDs bearing these marks can be used with this system.
Recordable ReWritable
This unit has been designed only to play back the following CDs.
• Digital audio CD
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-
RW has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like an audio CD.
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time to read.
Notes for MP3 files
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to 20 characters.
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions:
– up to 999 MP3 files,
– up to 99 folders (including the root folder),
– up to 8th layers (including the root folder).
Note that the number of the folders or layers mentioned above may increase and can be played back depending on the contents recorded on the disc.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
• The title, artist name and album name can be displayed as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information.

RECORDING ON CASSETTE TAPES
You can record from the radio or the CD player.
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.
• You can only use type I tape for recording.
• DO NOT turn off the unit while playing back or recording a tape. The cassette deck or tapes may be damaged.
• DO NOT use type II and type IV tapes since the unit is not compatible with such tapes.

USING THE CD
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE PLAYING CDs
Playable CDs:
Only CDs bearing these marks can be used with this system.
Recordable ReWritable
This unit has been designed only to play back the following CDs.
• Digital audio CD
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-
RW has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like an audio CD.
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time to read.
Notes for MP3 files
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to 20 characters.
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions:
– up to 999 MP3 files,
– up to 99 folders (including the root folder),
– up to 8th layers (including the root folder).
Note that the number of the folders or layers mentioned above may increase and can be played back depending on the contents recorded on the disc.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
• The title, artist name and album name can be displayed as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information.
Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
