Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air dusts nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
• Do not use disc encircled with a protection ring.
This may cause a malfunction to the system.
• When using disc that have glue or similiar tacky
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a
special ink when the label was printed, there is a
chance that the disc or label may become attached
to parts inside this system. When this occurs, it may
not be possible to remove the disc, and may also
cause this system to malfunction. Be sure to check
that the label side of the disc is not sticky before
using.
The following types of disc should not be used:
— Rental or used discs with attached seals where
the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter
of the seal on the disc is tacky.
— Discs that have labels printed using a special ink
that feels tacky when touched.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the tape tab. Refer to the instructions
of the tape.
Before placing a tape in the tape
deck
Take up any slack in the tape deck. Otherwise the
tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck
and become damaged.
When using a tape longer than 90
minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc.
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use
separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette.
For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning
cassette.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use
with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing
cassette.
