CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before you jump to the conclusion that it’s out of order!
When the set is not operating properly, one is apt to assume that the set is faulty. There are, however,
many possible faults which are not directly attributable to the set itself. It is recommended to check
the following before taking the set to a Hitachi dealer.
Cause
• Is the power cord connected properly?
• Are the batteries properly inserted in the
battery compartment?
• Are the batteries exhausted?
• Is the cassette upside down?
• Is the Pause button pressed? If so, unlock and
release.
• Are the accidental-erasure prevention tabs
punched out? If so, cover the holes with
plastic tape.
• Clean heads, capstan and pressure roller with
a cleaning stick.
• Are the batteries exhausted?
• Is the disc loaded upside down?
• Is the disc scratched or warped?
• Is the pick-up lens dirty? If so, clean it with a
cleaning stick.
• Is the disc scratched or otherwise flawed?
• Is the disc soiled?
• First press the Stop button then play disc
again.
