with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the
surfhce may result.
If the system is brought directly ficom a cold to a warm
location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and
cause the system to malfunction. In this situation,
remove the disc, and leave the system turned on fbr
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal
and is not cause *bralarm.
Do not touch the cabinet ifit has been used
continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may
have become hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and
the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30
minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the speakers fhr away
from the TV.

to clean the tape heads can cause degraded sound quality
or an inability of the unit to record or play tapes. For
details, refi.,r to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Use a demagnetizing cassette (available separately) after
every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize
the tape heads can cause an increase in noise, a loss of
high f}cequency sound, and an inability to completely
erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing cassette.
