On safety
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
•Unplug the system from the AC power
outlet if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time. To disconnect
the AC power cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the component, unplug the stereo system
and have the component checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
•AC power cord must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-
up in the stereo system.
•Do not place the unit in an inclined
position.
•Do not place the unit in locations where it
is:
- Extremely hot or cold
- Dusty or dirty
- Very humid
- Vibrating
- Subject to direct sunlight
On condensation in the CD player
component
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. Should this
occur, the CD player will not operate.
Remove the CD and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over, break off the cassette tab
from side A or B as illustrated. If you later
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
When you are using a TYPE II (CrO
2
) or
TYPE IV (metal) cassette, be careful not to
cover the detector slots which allow the
tape player to automatically detect the type
of tape.
