3 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

The cassette tape deck uses a microcomputer for controlling internal electronic circuits. In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To avoid this, please take the following precautions.

• Keep the cassette tape deck as far away from the tuner or TV set as possible.
• Keep the power cable and connecting cable of the cassette tape deck separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
• Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or a 300 Ω/ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor antenna and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cable is strongly recommended.

3. Places exposed to direct sunlight

4. Places exposed to magnetic forces (near TVs,

• Store cassette tapes in cases with stoppers to prevent the tape from becoming slack. A commercially available head cleaning cassette (wet type) is required to clean the heads (recording/ playback and erasing) on this product.
• If the heads are dirty, sound cannot be recorded or played with good quality.
• To take full advantage of this product’s performance and to achieve good sound quality, clean the heads periodically after approximately 10 hours of use.
• We recommend using a wet type commercially available head cleaning cassette that also cleans the pinch roller and capstan. Degaussing the Heads
• The heads become magnetized after extended use or after being exposed to magnetized objects. This results in noise or a loss of high frequencies.
• Use a commercially available cassette type head degausser to demagnetize the heads. NOTE:
• Set the amplifier’s volume to the minimum when cleaning and degaussing the heads.
