USING HEADPHONE (NOT INCLUDED)
To protect your cassette tapes and prevent unnecessary wear to the pinch roller of the cassette mechanism,
this unit is equipped with an Automatic Stop System. When the tape ends during play, the Cassette Play
Button (#9) will automatically release to stop the cassette from running.

High quality tapes are recommended to obtain maximum quality reproduction from recordings.
Tapes with playing time of 120 minutes (C-120) are not recommended because they contain thinner and
longer tape that has a greater chance to malfunction and jam, which may damage the cassette
mechanism.
To obtain good reproduction, the head should be cleaned after every 10 to 20 hours of use. It is also
recommended that the cassette be kept away from excessive heat or cold.
If there is slack in the tape, remove the slack prior to inserting the cassette. To remove the slack, insert a
pencil into the hub and rotate clockwise as shown below:
Tape Supply Reel
Tape Take-up Reel

A leader tape is provided at the beginning on each cassette. There is no recording on this area, so it is
necessary to let the tape run for about five seconds to clear the head.
Keep the tape head clean since a dirty head can cause distorted sound or improper tape speed.
Depress the Cassette Play Button and use a small cotton swab with tape head cleaner or alcohol to
clean the tape head, capstan and pinch roller as shown below:
Inserting the plug of your headphones into the Stereo Headphone Jack will enable you to listen to the CD,
Radio or Cassette music in private. When using headphone, the Built-in Speakers will be disconnected.
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HEADPHONES
1. Avoid extended play at very high volume as it may impair your hearing.
2. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off your unit.
3. Do not use while driving a motorised vehicle. This is dangerous and also illegal in some countries.
