Frequently Asked Questions - CR 465 CLATRONIC

How to insert batteries in the CLATRONIC CR 465?

Remove the screws of the battery compartment on the back of the device using a Phillips screwdriver. Press the hatched surface of the cover (OPEN) and pull down. Insert 4 UM2 or R14 batteries, respecting the polarity indicated inside the compartment.

Why won't the recording indicator light up?

Check that the batteries are correctly inserted or that the mains adapter is plugged in. Also ensure that the inserted cassette does not have its anti-erase protection tabs removed; otherwise, recording is impossible.

How do I use the karaoke function?

Start playing a cassette, then set the switch of one or both microphones to ON. You can then sing along with the music. Your voice and the music will be played through the speaker.

What if the record button does not press down?

The record button (green) can only be pressed if the inserted cassette has its protection tabs intact. If they are broken, the cassette is write-protected. Use another cassette or cover the notches with adhesive tape.

How to clean the device?

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the outside of the device. Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products. Avoid letting water enter the interior.

The device doesn't work, what to check?

First check the power: dead or incorrectly inserted batteries, unplugged or defective mains adapter. Make sure the cassette is properly placed. If the problem persists, contact an authorized repair service.

Can I use headphones with this player?

Yes, the device has a headphone jack (jack) on the side. Plug in your headphones for private listening. The speaker will then be automatically muted.

How do I know if the warranty applies?

The 24-month warranty applies from the date of purchase. Keep your receipt as proof. Damages due to incorrect usage, normal wear, or unauthorized interventions are not covered.

What to do if not used for extended periods?

Remove the batteries from the compartment to avoid acid leaks. Disconnect the mains adapter if used. Clean the device and store it in a dry place.

The sound is low or distorted, what to do?

Check the volume setting with the red dial. Ensure the cassette is not worn or damaged. Also check that the playback heads are clean (use a cleaning cassette). If the problem persists, the device may need repair.

General safety instructions

GB

To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of water - for example near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.

Use the device only for the intended purpose.

Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.

When using external mains supply, pay attention to the correct polarity and voltage.

Always place the batteries in the correct direction.

Assemble the device in such a way that the available ventilation openings are not covered.

Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.

For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from the manufacturer, our customer service department or a similar qualified person.

If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the plug socket or take out the batteries.
