General Instructions Always Use at 120V AC This unit is designed for operation with 120V AC. Use only domestic AC outlets. If connect the unit to an outlet supplying a higher voltage, it can create a fire hazard. Handle the Power Line Cord Gently •Do not disconnect the plug from the AC outlet by pul l ing the cord; always pull the plug itself. Pull ing the cord may break the connection. •If you do not intend to use your unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. •Do not place furniture or other heavy objects on the cord, and try to avoid dropping heavy objects upon it. Not only may the cord be damaged, it can also cause short circuits with a consequent fire hazard. Do Not Open the Cabinet To prevent shock hazard or unexpected trouble, do not tamper with internal components for inspection or maintenance. Harman Kardon does not guarantee against performance degradation resulting from any modification. If water, a hairpin or wire accidentally enters the unit, immediately extract the plug from the AC outlet to prevent shock or trouble and consult Harman Kardon service station. Cassette Tape Place of Installation Place the unit on a firm and level surface. Avoid instal l ing your unit under the following conditions: Moist or humid places (bathroom or kitchen). Places exposed to direct sunl ight or close to heating equipment. Extremely cold locations such as those in the direct draught from an air conditioner. Place subjects to excessive vibrations or dusts. Poorly ventilated places. Place near a TV receiver, speaker or other object that generates strong magnetism. When piling with other components, carefully plan so as not to obstruct heat radiation from a pre-mainamplifier or mainamplifier. Use of a Harman Kardon audio rack is recommended. While you are connecting your cassette deck to the rest of your high fidelity system, please disconnect the power line cord from the AC outlet. Cassette Tape Handling •Be sure to remove the cassette tape from the cassette compartment after the end of operation to keep the tape quality and maintain the deck performance for a long time. • Store cassette tapes off from a strong magnetic field such as near a TV set, amplifier and speakers to prevent adverse effect on the recorded sound. •Before a cassette tape is played back or recorded, be sure to el iminate tape slackness. A slackened tape, if used, may cause jamming in the tape running mechanism. •If it is later desired to record on a cassette tape protected in this way, cover the holes with adhesive tape. Adhesive tape Remove tape slackness by winding with a pencil. • f the sound recorded on the tape is desired to be protected from accidental erasure, remove the erase-prevention tabs. With these tabs broken out, accidental erasure can be prevented even if the RECORD button is inadvertently pressed. Tab Tab Break the tab off with a screwdriver.
