Tape Handling
Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take
up any slack tape.
< Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
Do not store tapes in the following places:
< On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other
places with high temperatures.
< Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would
be exposed to strong magnetic fields.
< Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.
< Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
< As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entan-
gled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.
Maintenance
The heads and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized
periodically.
Cleaning Tape Path

Battery Installation

Remote Control Unit
Battery Replacement
If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
< Be sure to insert two "AA"(R6, SUM-3) dry batteries with cor-
rect positive "+" and negative "_" polarities.
< Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.
< Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.
< When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time
(more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote
control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe
away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the
batteries with new ones.
< Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old
batteries by throwing them in a fire.
Main Unit
