INSTALLATION
When installing the deck, avoid locations with high
temperatures or humidity, and make sure that
the deck receives adequate ventilation.
7 Do not install the deck in locations subject to di-
rect sunlight, or near a space heater or other heat-
ing device, as this may cause damage to the fin-
ish or internal parts.
7
Malfunctions may also result if the deck is in-
stalled in an excessively humid or dusty location.
Avoid installing the deck next to kitchen counters
or other locations subject to oily smoke or humid-
ity.
7 If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier,
it may pick up humming or other noise. Also, if
the amplifier generates a large amount of heat,
the deck may malfunction.
7 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.
7 Do not place a cloth over the deck, or block the
ventilation slots in any way. The ventilation slots
on this deck are necessary to keep internal parts
cool. If they are blocked, the deck may malfunc-
tion.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the
most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
÷ Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
