PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.

Installation

1 Water and moisture - Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5^ (41^) or greater than 35^ (95^) .

3 Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

4 Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5cm (2 in.) from each side.

• Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.
• Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry - Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fall.

7 Condensation - Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

• The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
• The heating system has just been turned on
• The unit is used in a very humid room
• The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.
2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

• When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
• Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.
• Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power outlet.
• Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines - When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines.
2 Outdoor antenna grounding - Be sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.

Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code

Maintenance

Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating Instructions.

Damage Requiring Service

Have the units serviced by a qualified service technician if: - The AC power cord or plug has been damaged
- Foreign objects or liquid have gotten inside the unit
- The unit has been exposed to rain or water
- The unit does not seem to operate normally
- The unit exhibits a marked change in performance
- The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the tape heads

When the tape heads are dirty;

• high frequency sound is not emitted
• the sound is not adequately high
• the sound is off-balance
• the tape cannot be erased
• the tape cannot be recorded on

After every 10 hours of use, clean the tape heads with a head cleaning cassette.

Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette for details.

To demagnetize the tape heads

The tape heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise.

After every 20 to 30 hours of use, demagnetize the tape heads with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.

Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette for details.

Care of discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes

• Store tapes in their cases after use.
• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
