EQUIPMENT
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.
CONNECTING TO AUX JACKS
Sound signals can be input to this unit through the AUX jacks.
Use a cable with RCA phono plugs to connect equipment
(turntables, LD players with analog output jacks,
DATdecks, MD
players, VCRs, TVs, etc.).
Connect the red plug to the R jack, and the white plug to the
L
jack.
Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment
for details.
. The connecting cords are not supplied. Obtain the necessary

button and start play.
“AUX” appears on the display.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the unit.
To clean
the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours
of use, clean the heads and tape paths
with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with
cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)
When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback
head, erasure head, capstan, and pinchroller.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning
cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are
completely dry before inserting the tapes.
Care of discs
● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
. After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
Care of tapes
● Store tapes in their cases after use.
. Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound
quality and cause noise.
● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
