INSTALLATION
When installing the deck, avoid locations with high
temperatures or humidity, and make sure that the
deck receives adequate ventilation.
• Do not install the deck in locations subject to direct sunlight,
or near a space heater or other heating device, as this may cause
damage to the finish or internal parts.
• Malfunctions may also result if the deck is installed in an ex-
cessively humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck next
to kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily smoke or
humidity.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 mal-
function.
CONDENSATION
When the deck is moved from a cold location to a warm location,
or when the temperature of the room changes suddenly, conden-
sation may form on the mechanical parts. This can adversely af-
fect the performance of the deck. If this occurs, wait for about one
hour to allow the deck to adjust to the room temperature. To pre-
vent condensation when heating a room, raise the temperature
slowly.

CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND
CAPSTANS
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty quite
easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the high fre-
quency components of a recording will not be reproduced and the
stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration of the
playback sound. It is therefore recommended that the head sec-
tion be cleaned regularly.
1. Set the POWER switch to STANDBY.
2. Press the eject button to open the cassette door.
3. Dip a.cleaning swab in cleaning fluid and use it to wipe the
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
NO TE:
After cleaning the head section, do not load a tape until the clean-
ing fluid has dried completely (about two or three minutes).
DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS 1
I
After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the heads will
become magnetized. The same effect will occur if a magnetized
screwdriver, magnet or other magnetized object is brought too close
to the heads. When the heads become magnetized, high-frequency
sounds will be lost during recording or playback, and interference
noise may also occur. The heads should be regularly demagnetized
with a head demagnetizer, which can be purchased at most audio
stores.
When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the POWER switch
of the cassette deck is set to ON, and turn off the sound volume
on the amplifier to which the deck is connected. Also be sure that
no headphones are connected. For detailed instructions, refer to
the operating instructions of the head demagnetizer.
CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL 1
Clean the deck regularly with a soft cloth. If the front panel
becomes soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neu-
tral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth
well, and wipe the panel clean. Never use volatile cleaners like
thinners, benzine or alcohol because they will damage the panel
finish.
THE POWER SWITCH IS SECONDARY CONNECTED AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT FROM MAINS
POWER IN STANDBY POSITION.
