1.

This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To ensure
proper operation for the best possible performance, please
read this manual carefully.

2.

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as
transformers or motors.

3.

Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage to the
deck or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the deck, contact your local dealer.

4.

Do not apply excessive force when operating switches and
knobs.

5.

When moving the deck, be sure to first pull out the power
plug and remove all cords connecting the deck to other
equipment.

6.

Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as
this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

7.

Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to
come near the record/playback head assembly. Doing so
may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-smooth
finish, it may also change the magnetic characteristics of the
heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction quality.

8.

Although the record/playback head used in this unit is a high
quality head with outstanding reproduction characteristics, it
can become dirty through the use of old tapes or from dust
accumulation over time.
This can have a serious effect on reproduction quality.
Clean the heads regularly with one of the commonly available
head cleaners or with cleaning solutions as explained later in
this manual.

9.

Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual
for advice on common operating errors before concluding
that your unit is faulty.

10.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not to
be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the
cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.

11.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

12.

Voltage Selector (General model only)
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be
set for your local mains voltage BEFORE plugging in the
AC mains supply.

Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, compact discs, radio, etc.  Recording of copyright
material may infringe copyright laws.

Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
volume levels.
