Notes on MDs
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close
the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove
dirt.
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
Before inserting a tape
Take up any slack in the tape, because it may
become tangled in the deck mechanism, making it
unusable.
Using tapes with extended
recording time
Tapes with recording time of more than 90 minutes
tend to stretch easily, so do not repeat cycles of
playback, stop, fast-forward, and rewind operations,
or the like. Doing so may cause the tape to become
tangled in the deck mechanism.
On the speaker system
For SS-EX77/EX880
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded.
Locate the speaker system further away from the TV
set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in
which magnets are attached or used near the TV set,
such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may
cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
For SS-MD77
Although this speaker system is magnetically
shielded, there may be cases where the picture on
some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/
personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30
minutes turn it on again.
When there seems to be no improvement,
locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which
magnets are attached or used near the TV set, such
as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may
cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
