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.
On the speaker system
The front speakers, center speaker and
subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it
to be installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularity may still be observed on the TV
screen depending on the type of your TV set. 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 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- 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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution:
If you leave a still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on
your TV for an extended period of time via
this system, you risk permanent damage to
your TV screen. Projection TVs are
especially susceptible to this.
