Moisture Condensation
Cassette Tapes
Cassette Deck
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck
become dirty, the following will occur:
- Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
-Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton
swab moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or
lose high frequencies.
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used
with this System. However, continued
use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.
• Remove the CD from its case by holding
it at the edges while pressing the case’s
center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
CD, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of
the CD when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, tem-
perature extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a
CD does become dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth in a straight line from center to
edge.
Moisture may condense on the lens inside
the System in the following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the System is brought directly from a
cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may mal-
function. In this case, leave the System
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and
then plug it in again.
