On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining
or discoloration of the surface may result.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine,
or alcohol.
To prevent a tape from being
accidentally recorded over
Break off the tape’s overwrite protection tab
from side A or B as illustrated.
To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the
broken tab with adhesive tape.
About a tape longer than 90 minutes
The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes
of play time is not recommended except for
long, continuous recording or playback.
Cleaning the tape heads
Use a dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape
(available separately) after every 10 hours of
use, before you start an important recording, or
after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the
tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or
an inability of the system to record or play tapes.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning tape.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Use a demagnetizing tape (available separately)
after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to
demagnetize the tape heads can cause an
increase in noise and a loss of high frequency
sound and an inability to completely erase tapes.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing tape.
