  5  Do not use this apparatus near water.

  6  Clean only with dry cloth.

  7  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install

instructions.

  8  Do  not  install  near  any  heat  sources  such 

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 

apparatus  (including  amplifiers)  that  pro-

duce heat.

  9  Do  not  defeat  the  safety  purpose  of  the 

polarized  or  grounding-type  plug.  A  polar-

ized  plug  has  two  blades  with  one  wider 

than  the  other.  A  grounding  type  plug  has 

two blades and a third grounding prong. The 

wide  blade  or  the  third  prong  are  provided 

for your safety. If the provided plug does not 

fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

 10  Protect  the  power  cord  from  being  walked 

on  or  pinched  particularly  at  plugs,  conve-

nience  receptacles,  and  the  point  where 

they exit from the apparatus.

 11  Only use attachments/accessories specified 

by the manufacturer.

 12  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, brack-

et,  or  table  specified  by  the  manufacturer, 

or  sold  with  the  apparatus.  When  a  cart  is 

used,  use  caution  when  moving  the  cart/

apparatus  combination  to  avoid  injury  from 

tip-over.

 13  Unplug  this  apparatus  during  lightning 

storms  or  when  unused  for  long  periods  of 

time.

 14  Refer  all  servicing  to  qualified  service  per-

sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa-

ratus  has  been  damaged  in  any  way,  such 

as  power-supply  cord  or  plug  is  damaged, 

liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen 

into  the  apparatus,  the  apparatus  has  been 

exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper-

ate normally, or has been dropped.

  • 

Do not expose this apparatus to drips or 
splashes.

  •

  Do not place any objects filled with liquids, 

such as vases, on the apparatus.

  •

  Do not install this apparatus in a confined 

space such as a book case or similar unit.

  •

  The apparatus draws nominal non-operating 

power from the AC outlet with its STANDBY/
ON in the Standby position.

  •

  The apparatus should be located close 

enough to the AC outlet so that you can 
easily grasp the power cord plug at any 
time.

 

  The main plug is used as the disconnect 

device; the disconnect device shall remain 
readily operable.

  •

  An apparatus with Class I construction shall 

be connected to an AC outlet with a protec-
tive grounding connection.

 

  Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) 

shall not be exposed to excessive heat such 
as sunshine, fire or the like.

 

  Excessive sound pressure from earphones 

and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Beware of condensation

 

ª

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or 
used after a sudden temperature change, there is a 
danger of condensation; vapor in the air could con-
dense on the internal mechanism, making correct 
operation impossible.

To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the cassette deck 
sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature 
before using.
