Moisture Condensation
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.
50
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.
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.
Cassette Tapes
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).
• 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
