Tape Handling:
Do not store tapes in the following places:
1. On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other places with high
temperatures.
2. Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong
magnetic fields.
3. Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.
4. Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
5. As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entangled in the transport
mechanism, do not use them.

1. Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette
hub and take up any slack tape.
Note: Avoid touching the tape .Fingerprints attract
dust and dirt.

Before Use
Before Use
1. Choose unit installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a
source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold or
moisture. Keep away from sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
2. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock.
If a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer.
3. Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc that has a crack on the
surface.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never
pull the cord.
5. To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray.
6. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish.
Use a clean, dry cloth.
7. In order to shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of
time, such as a vacation.
8. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Beware of Condensation
When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or is used after a
sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could
condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts,
correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from the
disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where
condensation could occur, you should not use the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it
into an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player will
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
