Precautions
On operating voltage
(Except for European countries model)
Before operating the tape deck, check that the
operating voltage of your tape deck is identical with
the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
• Unplug the tape deck from the wall outlet (mains)
if it is not to be used for an extended period of
time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it
out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component, unplug the tape deck and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed
only at a qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the tape deck in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the tape
deck.
• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.
• Do not place the unit in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibration
— Subject to direct sunlight
Before placing a cassette in the
tape deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and
become damaged.
When using a tape longer than 90
minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as
illustrated.
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording,
cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However,
be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow
the tape player to automatically detect the type of
tape.
