What you should know to protect
yourself
@ Never touch the piug with wet hands.
@ Always pull out by the plug and never the cord.
@ Only let a qualified professional repair or reassemble the
stereo cassette deck. An unauthorized person might touch
the internal parts and receive a serious electric shock.
@ Never put anything, especially metal, into the stereo cas-
sette deck.
' Protect the stereo cassette deck too
e@ Use only a household AC power source. Never use a DC
power source.
© If water is spilled on the stereo cassette deck, disconnect it
and call your dealer.
@ Make sure that the stereo cassette deck is well ventilated
and away from direct sunlight.
@ To avoid damage to the internal circuits and the external
surface, keep it away from heat (stoves, etc.).
@ Avoid using spray type insecticide near the stereo cassette
deck. It can damage the finish and might ignite suddenly.
@ To avoid damaging the finish, never use paint thinner or
other similar chemicals to clean the stereo cassette deck.
@ Place the stereo cassette deck on a flat and solid surface.
@ If you don't plan to use the stereo cassette deck for a long
period of time, disconnect the power cord.
Dew formation
Dew is the term used for the formation of moisture on the very
important tape transport sections such as the heads and the
capstan, when 'the deck is used in places where humidity is
high, or moved from a cold place to a warm one. If the deck is
used when dew is present, the tape will stick to the head and be
ruined, or it will not be transported properly. In that case, do not
use the deck for epee
one hour until the deck is accli-
matized.
Placement
If the cassette deck and tuner are placed on top of each other,
humming noise may result during playback. Also beat noise
may resuit during recording of AM broadcasts. In this case, the
position of the deck should be changed. We recommend that
the amplifier or a space the size of an amplifier be left between
the deck and the tuner.
