Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
Before placing a cassette in the tape
deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and
become damaged.
When using a tape longer than 90
minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as
illustrated.
Tab of side B
Tab of side A
Side A
Break off the
cassette tab of
side A
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an
important recording or after playing an old tape.
Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning cassette.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours
of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing cassette.
