Note:

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC ouflet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. lf this plug will not fit in your AC ouflet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your ouflet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electr.ic shock.

About

Gassette TaPes

Whenever you record on a cmsette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. lf the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed'

To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side

A'

This prevents the record key from locking.

TAB FOR SIDE A

BREAK OUT TO PREVENT RECORDING lf later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the record key to function again.

Gassette 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 vitalparts of themechanism.

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 center 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).

Fig.

1 lf 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 center 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.2

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

Head Gleaning

The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance.

Disconnect the AC power cord, press the

lAStop/Eject

key to open the cassette door, and press the

<

Play key. clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth orcotton pad dampened in isopropylalcoholorspecialtape head cleaner.

Gompact Disc Care

.

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

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's 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. lf necessary use a CD cleaning kit.

.

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

Gare Of The Gabinet

lf the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax, polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.

Gaution

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
