On placement • Do not place the system in an inclined position or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light. • Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result. • If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the system, and cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. • Do not place anything on top of the tape deck as this may cause a malfunction. On heat buildup • Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal and is not a cause for alarm. • Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may have become hot. • Do not obstruct the ventilation holes. Cleaning the cabinet Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol. To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over Break off the tape's overwrite protection tab from side A or B as illustrated. Break off the tape tab To reuse the tape for recording at a later time, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. About a tape longer than 90 minutes The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback. Cleaning the tape heads Use a dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape (available separately) after every 10 hours of use, before you start an important recording, or after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or an inability of the system to record or play back tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape. Demagnetizing the tape heads Use a demagnetizing tape (available separately) after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize the tape heads can cause an increase in noise and a loss of high frequency sound and an inability to completely erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing tape. 58US

On placement
•
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
•
Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining
or discoloration of the surface may result.
•
If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the system, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
•
Do not place anything on top of the tape deck
as this may cause a malfunction.
On heat buildup
•
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
•
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
•
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine,
or alcohol.
To prevent a tape from being
accidentally recorded over
Break off the tape’s overwrite protection tab
from side A or B as illustrated.
To reuse the tape for recording at a later time,
cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
About a tape longer than 90 minutes
The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes
of play time is not recommended except for
long, continuous recording or playback.
Cleaning the tape heads
Use a dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape
(available separately) after every 10 hours of
use, before you start an important recording, or
after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the
tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or
an inability of the system to record or play back
tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning tape.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Use a demagnetizing tape (available separately)
after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to
demagnetize the tape heads can cause an
increase in noise and a loss of high frequency
sound and an inability to completely erase tapes.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing tape.
