16 APPENDIX1-Troubleshooting • When making copies of Dolby B or C-encoded audio cassettes, activate the noise reduction circuits on both the source and record decks. This will allow the encoded tape to be decoded first, before being routed to the record deck (where noise reduction will be re-encoded on the copy). re:aril Cleaning When cleaning your preamplifier, avoid the direct use of dusting sprays, abrasive cleaners or caustics (such as dilute ammonia window cleaning solutions). Use only a mild soap and water solution, applied to a soft cloth, rather than sprayed directly onto the component. ore Zohtro When the strength of the remote control's batteries becomes weakened, the operating range of the remote control is shortened. To change the batteries (or initially load the batteries provided with your new player): 1. Slide the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote in the direction of the embossed arrow and remove it. 2. Insert two AA (1.5V/R6/UM3) cells according to the + and - polarity symbols at the bottom of the battery well. Always replace both batteries at the same time. 3. Replace the cover. Make sure that both the remote's front infrared projection "lens" and REMOTE SENSOR on the Citation 25 front panel are kept free from dirt to insure proper optical transmission and reception. Do nut use the remote control near fluorescent lamps which may shorten the operating range of the remote. If you do not intend to use the remote regularly, but have loaded it with batteries to experiment with it, remove them to prevent damage from corrosion.

APPENDIX1-Troubleshooting
When
making
copies
of
Dolby
B
or
C
-encoded
audio
cassettes,
activate
the
noise
reduction
circuits
on
both
the
source
and
record
decks.
This
will
allow
the
encoded
tape
to
be
decoded
first,
before
being
routed
to
the
record
deck
(where
noise
reduction
will
be
re
-encoded
on
the
copy).
re:aril
Cleaning
When
cleaning
your
preamplifier,
avoid
the
direct
use
of
dusting
sprays,
abrasive
cleaners
or
caustics
(such
as
dilute
ammonia
window
cleaning
solutions).
Use
only
a
mild
soap
and
water
solution,
applied
to
a
soft
cloth,
rather
than
sprayed
directly
onto
the
component.

When
the
strength
of
the
remote
control's
batteries
becomes
weakened,
the
operating
range
of
the
remote
control
is
shortened.
To
change
the
batteries
(or
initially
load
the
batteries
provided
with
your
new
player):
1.
Slide
the
battery
compartment
cover
on
the
back
of
the
remote
in
the
direction
of
the
embossed
arrow
and
remove
it.
2.
Insert
two
AA
(1.5V/R6/UM3)
cells
according
to
the
+
and
-
polarity
symbols
at
the
bottom
of
the
battery
well.
Always
replace
both
batteries
at
the
same
time.
3.
Replace
the
cover.
Make
sure
that
both
the
remote's
front
infrared
projection
"lens"
and
REMOTE
SENSOR
on
the
Citation
25
front
panel
are
kept
free
from
dirt
to
insure
proper
optical
transmission
and
reception.
Do
nut
use
the
remote
control
near
fluorescent
lamps
which
may
shorten
the
operating
range
of
the
remote.
If
you
do
not
intend
to
use
the
remote
regularly,
but
have
loaded
it
with
batteries
to
experiment
with
it,
remove
them
to
prevent
damage
from
corrosion.
