This document describes the Panasonic Stereo Radio Cassette Player models RQ-SW45V and RQ-SW35V, providing instructions for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Panasonic Stereo Radio Cassette Player is a portable device designed for playing cassette tapes and receiving radio broadcasts. It features a splashproof design, making it suitable for outdoor use. The device includes a "HOLD" function to prevent accidental operation and a "LAP" function to track time during activities like jogging.
The player supports normal position type tapes for playback. For radio reception, it can tune into both FM and AM bands. The RQ-SW45V model includes a "VMSS" (Virtual Motion Sound System) feature, while the RQ-SW35V model features "XBS" (Extra Bass System), both designed to enhance low-frequency sound.
Battery Installation and Condition: To begin, install one R6/LR6, AA, UM-3 battery (included) by following the polarity markings. The device includes a battery condition indicator that scrolls twice before lighting up when starting a tape or radio reception. In stop mode, pressing "BATT CHECK" will make the indicator scroll twice and light for about 5 seconds. When the battery is weak, the indicator will flash. Replacing batteries within 30 seconds will retain any stored information. Rechargeable batteries manufactured by Panasonic are recommended if used.
Headphone Connection: Connect the headphones firmly to the 3.5 mm stereo jack. The headphones cord also acts as an antenna for FM radio reception, so extending it helps improve reception.
Cassette Playback:
Radio Reception:
Volume Adjustment: Use the volume controls to adjust the sound level.
Bass Enhancement (VMSS/XBS):
LAP Function: The LAP function tracks time during activities.
Hold Function: This function prevents accidental operation by disabling front panel buttons. The display will show "HOLD" when active.
Listening Caution: Avoid playing headphones at high volume for extended periods. Reduce volume or discontinue use if ringing in ears occurs. Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. Use caution in hazardous situations. Even with open-air headphones, do not turn up the volume so high that you cannot hear surrounding sounds. Set a safe listening level by starting at a low setting, slowly increasing until comfortable and clear, then leaving the dial there.
General Care:
Cleaning: To ensure good sound quality, clean the head after approximately every 10 hours of use with a cotton swab dampened with a little alcohol.
