Before You Begin
Useful Advice
Do not use your system immediately after transport-
ing it from a cold place to a warm place, as condensa-
tion may cause the system to malfunction. If moisture
forms inside this system, it may not operate properly.
To correct the problem, turn off the power and wait
about 30 minutes for moisture to evaporate
This system is fitted with a laser. To avoid accidents, it
is to be opened by qualified technicians only.
Never leave the tray open as dust could cover the
laser lens and/or the tray could be bumped into acci-
dentally
Do not place the system near wet areas such as bath-
rooms and pool side. Avoid storing the system at
humid places or near abnormally heated areas.
Power is continuously supplied to the system. To dis-
connect power completely, unplug the power cord
from the power outlet.
Battery Power
You can insert 8 D-sized alkaline batteries (not
supplied) and you can take your stereo just about
anywhere. Open the battery compartment door on
the back of the unit by pressing down on the two tabs
and pulling out the cover. Insert batteries in the bat-
tery compartment.(See diagram) Note that the AC
line cord must be unplugged from the jack on the
back of the unit to operate on batteries. 2 AA-sized
batteries (not supplied) are needed to keep radio sta-
tion memory.
IMPORTANT
: Be sure to remove batteries when stor-
ing the set for more than 30 days. Leaky batteries can
badly damage the system. Always return tape opera-
tion buttons to their off position before storing. This
will relieve pressure on certain parts in the tape
recorder that might deform after long periods of
time. Be sure to dispose of leaky, weak or dead bat-
teries properly according to federal, state, and local
regulations.
