SYLVANIA Nostalgia SRCD838 - Discs which can be played on this unit: - 4

  • Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

SYLVANIA Nostalgia SRCD838 - Discs which can be played on this unit: - 5

  • Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
  • Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."

  • Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

  • Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.
  • CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
  • Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren't recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
  • Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.
  • Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
  • Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
  • Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CDR/ CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

Cassette Tape

Tape Selection

Metal and chrome (cobalt) tapes have identification holes.

Tape Handling

Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take up any slack tape.

SYLVANIA Nostalgia SRCD838 - Tape Handling - 1

  • Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
    As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.

Do not store tapes in the following places:

On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other places with high temperatures.

Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.

Head Maintenance

The head and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized periodically. Please use a cassette type head cleaning tape and demagnetizer. For specific details on the proper use of either item, please read each item's instruction manual.

Records Handling

  • Do not touch the record's grooves. Only handle records, by the edges or the label. Make sure your hands are clean. Skin oils from even clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.

SYLVANIA Nostalgia SRCD838 - Records Handling - 1

  • Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
  • To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and jackets when not in use.
  • Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp.
  • Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record.
  • Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The temperature in a closed trunk can ruin your collection.
  • Store records in an area with a stable temperature and low humidity.
  • Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth.
