Care And Maintenance
Compact Discs
Handle your compact discs,
cassette tapes, and Cassette
Deck carefully, and they will
last a long time.
• Remove the CD from the
case by holding it at the
edges while pressing the
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, temperature
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.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for ex-
ample, conventional record cleaner, spray
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the
lens inside the Unit in the
following cases:
• After starting the heating
in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the unit is brought
directly from a cold to a
warm place.
Should this occur, the Unit
may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a
few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC
power cord, and then plug it in
again.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
tapes, CDs, and the mechanism clean.
• Store tapes and CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets
or on shelves.
• Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape holder and the CD trays closed
when not in use.
Cassette Tapes
• If the tape is loose in its
cassette, take up the slack
by inserting a pencil in one
of the reels and rotating.
• If the tape is loose, it may
get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette.
• Do not touch the tape
surface.
• Do not store the tape:
- In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or
heat
- In moist areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
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 wet-type
head cleaning tape, available from an audio store. For more
details, refer to the Instructions of the Head Cleaning Tape.
• 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).
