If trouble occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1
Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2
If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.
■
Clearing all the memory (reset)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by
mode.
2
Whilst pressing down the REC PAUSE
button and the CON-
TINUOUS PLAYBACK
button, press the SIMBA MODE/
DEMO button until "CLEAR AL" appears.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings and tuner preset.
■
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
■
Before transporting the unit
Remove CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc
spindle. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.
Maintenance
■
Cleaning the tape-handling parts
●
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
●
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which
contains high voltages.
●
After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once eve-
ry 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape
head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions care-
fully before use.
■
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap so-
lution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
●
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
●
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
