Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for an air conditioner, is very dangerous. There is the possibility that a fire might be caused by making such a connection.
2. A DC power source cannot be used. Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.
   ■ Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply cord
3. Wet hands are dangerous. A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands.
4. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord, and never force it to bend sharply.
   ■ Place the unit where it will be well ventilated Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc.
   ■ Avoid places such as the following: In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity. Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
   ■ Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface. If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.
   ■ Never attempt to repair or reconstruct this unit A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the internal parts are accidentally touched.

■ Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.

■ If water is spilled on the unit

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

■ Avoid spray-type insecticides

Insecticides might cause cracks or "cloudiness" in the cabinet and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might, moreover, be ignited suddenly.

■ Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

■ Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this will not only shorten its useful operation life, but may also cause other troubles.

■ If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected, immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Finding the peak level automatically (auto peak level search)

When the recording level is adjusted on the cassette deck, distortion and noise accompanying the recording can be minimized by proceeding with the adjustment using the peak level on the disc. This unit has a function for detecting the peak level for the entire disc or for programmed tracks.

1 Press F5 button in the stop mode. When the peak level is found, the unit repeatedly produces the sound for about 6 seconds around the peak level.

2 Set the cassette deck on the recording standby mode and adjust the recording level on the cassette deck. (Refer to the operating instructions for the cassette deck to be used.)
3 Press the stop button to cancel the peak level search.

Note:

The "peak level search function" on this unit works by having the laser pickup read equal intervals of the disc from the innermost tracks out to the outer edge. The interval with the highest peak level is then chosen.

For this reason, depending on the reading position, the peak level obtained may differ slightly from the actual peak level. However, as there are many peak points on the disc and the peak level search time is only a small fraction of the total playing time of the disc, the discrepancy is only a small one and should not pose a problem when making recordings.

Closing up unrecorded blanks between tracks (auto space off)

During CD editing, unrecorded blanks between programs each lasting for about 4 seconds are automatically added to be used for cueing. When recording live sessions, for instance, these blanks can be closed up so that the play is made continuous.

1 Prepare for recording on the cassette deck. (Refer to page 18.)
2 Press F1 button to select the tape length. (Refer to step 2 on page 18 for details.)
3 Press the F4 button. The auto space indicator goes out. • The unit will automatically calculate the disc edit time again and shot it to both sides of the tape. • Adjust the recording level. (Refer to page 20.)
