Precautions

Discs that this system CAN play

 Audio CD

 CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files)

Discs that this system CANNOT play

 CD-ROM

 CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD 

format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 

1/Level 2, Joliet or multisession

 CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that have not 

ended by “closing the session”

 CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-

RW that have scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW 

recorded with an incompatible recording device

 CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly

 Discs containing files other than MPEG 1 Audio Layer-

3 (MP3) files

 Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, 

square, star)

 Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached 

to them

 Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue 

extends beyond the seal

 Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky 

when touched

 An 8 cm disc with an adaptor

Notes on discs

 Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from 

the center out to the edge.

 Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine 

thinner, or commercially available cleaners or anti-

static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources 

such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in 

direct sunlight.

On safety

 The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source 

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall socket, 

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

 Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) 

from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going to be used 

for an extended period of time. When unplugging the 

unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

 Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, 

unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified 

personnel before operating it again.

 The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified 

service facility.

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 CD player, and 

cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, 

remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for 

about a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

On heat buildup

 Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal 

and is not 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.

On the speaker system

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and 

the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically 

distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 

minutes, and turn it back on. 

If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away 

from the TV.

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 cassette’s overwrite protection tab from side 

A or B as illustrated.

Break off the 

cassette tab

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 dry- or wet-type cleaning cassette (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 unit to record or play tapes. For 

details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Use a demagnetizing cassette (available separately) after 

every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize 

the tape heads can cause an increase in noise, a loss of 

high frequency sound, and an inability to completely 

erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the 

demagnetizing cassette.
