Check that the tape in the cassette is sufficiently taught.

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the
safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette,
where  the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with
adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its
case.

Store your cassettes in a clean place, out of direct sunlight, where
they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain
on the tape mechanism.

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the
edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back
in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on
the label.

Clean them with a special-purpose cloth.

Store your compact discs in a clean place, out of direct sunlight,
where they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Always use compact discs marked           .

PAUSE

To obtain the best possible results from your mini-compact
system, you must clean the following elements regularly:

The outer casing

The compact disc player

The cassette players (heads, rollers and drive capstans)

Always unplug the system from the wall outlet:

Before cleaning it

If you are not going to be using it for a long time

Outer Casing
Clean the outer casing regularly using a soft cloth and a light detergent. Do
not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids
get into the system.

Compact Disc Player

Before playing a compact disc, clean it with a special CD cleaning
agent. Do not use the same cleaning agents as for vinyl LP records.
Carefully wipe the disc from the centre outward.

Regularly clean the player with a special cleaning disc (available from
your local dealer).

Tape Decks

Press PUSH EJECT(

) to open the cassette deck.

Use a cotton bud and a special cassette cleaning agent to clean the:

Head (1)

Rollers (2)

Drive capstans (3)

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be
used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to
shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in
direct sunlight, etc.).

If the unit emits an unpleasant odor when in use, unplug it
from the main supply and contact the after-sales service.
