Precautions
1.
Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other
than personal use is illegal without permission
of the copyright holder.
2.
Deck Location
• Do not use or leave in direct sunlight or in
other places subject to high temperature
and humidity. The unit should also not be
left in potentially hot places such as near
heating appliances. Excessive heat and
moisture can lead to internal damage and
serious malfunctions (this also applies to
cassette tapes). The recommended ambient
temperature range is 5
°
C to 35
°
C.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and locations
prone to vibrations.
• Be extremely careful with the recording/
playback heads. Clean and demagnetize
them regularly, but under no circumstances
should magnets or other metals be used
anywhere near the heads.
• This unit is extremely sensitive to magnetic
fields, so do not use near large speakers or
other devices which generate magnetic fields.
• Hum may even be induced by magnetic flux
leakage from the power transformer in
certain amplifiers. Therefore, this unit
should also be kept clear of the amplifier.
• Do not remove the cabinet case. If any of
the internal parts are handled, there is a
considerable danger of electric shock.
3.
Cassettes to Avoid:
• Cassettes with poorly formed cases that
rattle during rewind and fast forward.
• Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or
pressure pad spring should never be used
for stereo.
• C-120 cassettes because the tape and the
coating are extremely thin, distortion levels
are high. Also, even a slight stretching of
the tape will make it susceptible to being
caught up in the pinch roller and capstan.
• Endless tapes, if used for a long period of
time, can overheat.
4. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front
and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft
cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in
a weak solution of mild detergent and water,
wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.
Following this, dry immediately with a clean
cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners,
alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths
since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
5.

fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the
replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and
that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362.
Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the
body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR
THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE
FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT
OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A
DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE
