PRECAUTIONS
1. GENERAL
Be sure to use the correct A.C. power source.
Do
not
plug
in
or
unplug
the
power
cord
with
wet
hands.
e@ Handie the power cord with care.
Do
not
remove
the
power
plug
by
pulling
on
the
power
cord.
If
the
insulation
becomes
damaged,
the
conductor
breaks,
or
poor
contacts
occur,
request
service from your authorized service dealer.
@
Do
not
touch
the
inside
of
this
unit
or
remove
the
rear
panel,
@ Disconnect the power cord at the first sign of trouble.
2. LOCATION
@ This unit can become unstable if operated in extremely
high
or
low
temperatures.
Place
it
in
a
well
ventilated
area for correct heat dissipation.
Avoid
placing
in
direct
sunlight,
near
air
conditioners,
poorly
ventilated
areas
or
in
areas
of
excess
humidity
or
dust.
Do
not
block
the
ventilation
holes
in
the
cabinet.
@ Howling sounds (Acoustic Feedback) may occur if this
unit is in direct contact with the speakers.
Be
sure
to
leave
an
appropriate
space
between
the
speakers
and
the
side
of
this
unit.
3. CONNECTIONS
e
Be
sure
to
turn
off
the
power
before
making
connec-
tions.
e
Use
extreme
care
in
making
the
correct
connections.
Reversing
the
R
(right)
or
L
(left)
speaker
leads
or
plus
(+)
and
minus
(—),
will
lead
to
poor
sound
quality.
@ Make all connections securely.
e
Use
speakers
with
a
nominal
impedance
of
8
to
16
ohms.
(When
connecting
one
pair
of
speakers
connected
to
the
A
or
B
terminals).
@
When
using
two
pairs
of
speakers,
ensure
that
the
com-
bined
impedance
(both
pairs
of
speakers
operating)
is
8
ohms
or
above.
The combined impedance is determined using the fol-
lowing formula.
AxB
COMBINED IMPEDANCE = i = (OHMS)
1OWAG: <i a
0. =
g 16+ 16 onms
A: Nominal impedance of speaker A.
B: Nominal impedance of speaker B.
@ Do not supply excessive input to the speakers,
When
using
speakers
with
a
lower
power
handling
capacity
than
the
rated
output
power
of
this
unit
(20 W/ch), avoid excessive volume levels.
4. OPERATION
e
Before
placing
the
power
switch
in
the
ON
or
OFF
posi-
tion,
always
set
the
volume
control
to
the
minimum
level.
@
Do
not
touch
the
turntable
platter
while
it
is
rotating.
@
Do
not
touch
the
tonearm
when
it’s
moving.
5. CARE
@ Do not play badly soiled discs.
e
Be
sure
to
close
the
dust
cover on
the
turntable
when
it
is
not
in
use.

CASSETTE
DECK
MAINTENANCE
(1)
CLEANING
OF
HEADS
—:
Deposit
of
dust
and
dirt
cause
poor
contact
between
the
heads and tape and will lead to:
@ Deteriorating tone quality.
@ Reduced volume.
e@ Failure to record.
e
Erratic
reproduction
of
sounds
(sounds
disappear
mo-
mentarily).
Failure
to
erase
previously
recorded
sounds.
Although the heads should be cleaned at least once in every
10 hours use, to obtain best recording and playback per-
formance, it is recommended to be cleaned every time the
deck is used.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Cotton
Q-tips,
or
a
soft
cloth
such
as
gauze
and
pure
alco-
hol or tape head cleaning fluid.
PROCEDURE
1, Push to open the cassette holder.
2. Remove the cassette cover as shown. (Fig. 1)
3.
Carefully:
wipe
all
tape-contacting
sections
as
the
heads,
pinch
roller
and
capstan.
(Fig.
2)
4.
Re-fit
the
outside
cover
to
its
original
position.
@
Do
not
insert
a
cassette
until
the
alcohol
has
completely
evaporated.
e
Another
cleaning
method
is
to
clean
by
itilizing
a
clean-
ing
tape.
In
this
case,
just
run
the
tape
through
once.
(2)
DEMAGNETIZING
THE
HEADS
The
heads
can
become
magnetized
after
long
periad
of
use.
This
can
cause
excessive
tape
hiss
and
a
foss
of
high
fre-
quencies.
The
heads
should
be
demagnetized
periodically
after
about
30
hours
of
playing
or
recording.
,
1.
Use
a
commercially
available
head-demagnetizer
accord-
ing to its instructions.
Turn off the power switch.
Remove the cassette cover.
Turn
on
the
power
to
the
head-
demagnetizer
and
bring
the
tip
of
the
head-demagnetizer
close
to
the
heads
and
capstan,
and
slowly
move
it
up
and
down
four
or
five
times.
5.
Slowly
remove
the
head-demagnetizer
from
the
heads
to
a
distance
of
more
than
30
cm
(12”)
and
switch
the
power
off.
6. Attach the cassette cover again.
