INSTALLATION
When installing the deck, avoid locations with
high temperatures or humidity, and make sure
that the deck receives adequate ventilation.
@ Do not install the deck in locations subject to direct sunlight, or
Near a space heater or other heating device, as this may cause
damage to the finish or internal parts.
@ Malfunctions may also result if the deck is installed in an ex-
cessively humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck
next to kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily
smoke or humidity.
@ If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier, it may pick
up humming or other noise. Aliso, if the amplifier generates a
large ammount of heat, the deck may malfunction.
M@ if the deck is located near a television set, it may pick up inter-
ference noise, which will be recorded as a whistling sound on
the tape. If this happens, move the deck further away from the
television set or turn the television set off when operating the
deck.
@ Do not place a cloth over the deck, or block the ventilation siots
in any way. The ventilation slots on this deck are necessary to
keep internal parts cool. If they are blocked, the deck may mal-
function.
CONDENSATION
When the deck is moved from a cold location to a warm location,
or when the temperature of the room changes sudden'y, conden-
sation may form on the mechanical parts. This can adversely af-
fect the performance of the deck. If this occurs, wait for about one
hour to allow the deck to adjust to the room temperature. To pre-
vent condensation when heating a room, raise the temperature
siowly.
THE POWER SWITCH IS SECONDARY CONNECTED AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT FROM MAINS

CLEANING
THE
HEADS,
PINCH
ROLLERS
|
AND
CAPSTANS
The
heads,
pinch
rollers
and
capstans
are
likely
to
get
dirty
quite
easily.
If
these
parts,
particularly
the
heads,
get
dirty,
the
high
fre-
quency
components
of
a
recording
will
not
be
reproduced
and
the
stereo
balance
will
be
impaired,
resulting
in
a
deterioration
of
the
playback
sound.
it
is
therefore
recommended
that
the
head
sec-
tion
be
cleaned
regularly.
1, Set the POWER switch to STANDBY.
2. Press the eject button to open the cassette door.
3. Dip a cleaning swab in cleaning fluid and use it to wipe the
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
NOTE:
After cleaning the head section, do not load a tape until the clean-
ing fluid has dried completely {about two or three minutes).

| DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS
After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the heads will
become magnetized. The same effect will occur if a magnetized
screwdriver, magnet or other magnetized object is brought too
close to the heads. When the heads become magnetized, high-fre-
quency sounds will be lost during recording or playback, and in-
terference noise may also occur. The heads should be regularly
demagnetized with a head demagnetizer, which can be purchased
at most audio stores.
When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the POWER
switch of the cassette deck is set to ON. However, be sure to turn
down the amplifier’s volume contro! to its lower position, and dis-
connect any headphones from their headphones jack. For detailed
instructions, refer to the operating instructions of the head de-
magnetizer.

CLEANING
THE
FRONT
PANEL
Es
Ciean the deck regularly with a soft cloth. If the front panel becomes
soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral deter-
gent (diluted in five to six pans water}, wring the cloth well, and
wipe the pane! ciean. Never use volatile cleaners like thinners,
Benzine or alcohol because they will damage the panel finish.
