SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of
equipment) are properly made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when
making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in
a fatal electrical shock.
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Notes:
Notes:
• When you operate the system on mains
(AC) power or on car battery (DC12V), the
power source automatically switches from
batteries to AC or DC12V. However, you
should remove the 10 batteries when
operating on AC power or car battery
(DC12V).
• When the batteries are exhausted, the
following symptoms will occur:
- Mistracking occurs during disc playback.
- Sounds are distorted intermittently during
tape playback.
- “DC OFF” flashes on the display, then the
power goes off.
If this happens, replace the batteries.
• It is recommended to use AC power cord
when recording important material or
listening to a disc.
• The memory backup batteries will not be
consumed as long as the power is supplied
from an AC outlet, loaded 10 batteries, or
car battery (DC12V). However, if no power
is supplied to the system, the memory
backup batteries should be replaced with
new ones approximately every 12 months to
securely maintain the contents of the
memory.
• Before replacing the memory backup
batteries, always connect the AC power
cord to the system to prevent the contents of
memory from being erased.

Care and maintenance
II
Handle your discs carefully, and they will last a long time.
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a
cotton swab.
Compact discs
• Only discs bearing this mark can be used with
this system. However, continued use of
irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal,
etc.) can damage the system.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
system in the following cases:
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or
bend the disc.
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm place.
Should this occur, the system may malfunction.
In this case, leave the system turned on for a few
hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the
AC power cord, and then plug it in again.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc
when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
Cassette tapes
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and
rotating.
• A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a disc.
• Do not store the tape:
- In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In moist areas
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.
• Keep the disc compartment door closed when not in use.
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette deck
Cleaning the lens
• If the heads, capstans, or pinch-rollers of the cassette deck
become dirty, the following may occur:
- Loss of sound quality
If the lens in the pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the disc compartment door and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the
lens.
- Discontinuous sound
- Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab
moistened with alcohol.
