CARE OF DISCS
@ With this player, use discs which display the mark
shown below. (Optical audio digital discs.)
@ When holding discs, do not touch their signal sur-
faces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the
center hole.
@ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the labei
surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the disc. —
@ Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not
use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

CLEANING DISCS
@ Fingerprints or smudges on the surface of a disc
will not directly affect the recorded signals, but de-
pending on the degree of contamination, the bright-
ness of the light reflected from the signal surfaces
may be reduced, causing degradation of sound
quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping
them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge
toward the outer periphery.
@ if a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in wa-
ter, and after wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away
gently. Remove any water drops with another soft,
dry cloth.
@ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static
agents on discs. Never clean discs with benzene,
thinner, or other volatile solvents, since damage to
the disc surface may result.
STORING DISCS
@ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used
for conventional analog audio records. Be careful
not to allow discs to warp ; always store discs in
their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high
heat or humidity, or extremely low temperatures.
Avoid leaving discs in cars, since the seat of a car
in direct sunlight can become extremely hot.
@ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes
listed on disc labels.
Is the tape loose, or is some of the tape sticking out
of the cassette?
This will damage the tape itself.
To remove the slack, insert a pen-
cil into the spool and gently wind
it.
Safekeeping
Put the cassette ta pe back into —
its case and store it in a loca- ELE?
tion not exposed to magnetic f-
fields, humidity, dust, or oil.
Tips on using cassette tapes
@ Leader tape (which does not allow sound to be re-
corded over it) is provided at the beginning of a
cassette tape. Start recording after allowing the tape
to run for approx. 5 seconds so that the leader tape
clears the recording head.
@ Forwarding or reversing the cassette tapes before
recording prevents damage to the unit caused by
tape slack.
Do not use tapes longer than 90 minutes.
Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin, they
easily jam in the pinch roller and capstan, and they
are susceptible to other trouble such as irregular
winding. Try not to use them with this unit.
How can you prevent accidental erasure?
When the tab on the cassette sheil is broken out with
the tip of a screwdriver, it will not be possible to acti-
vate the recording function even by pressing the REC
PAUSE button, so valuable recordings will not be
erased in error.
When you want to record again on a cassette with bro-

ken erasure prevention tabs, cover the hole with a dou-
ble layer of adhesive tape.
With TYPE Il (HIGH/CrO:) tapes, be sure not to cover
the tape-type detection holes.
Be sure not to cover the
