Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts nor leave it in a car
parked under direct sunlight.
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.
This may cause a malfunction to the system.
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a
special ink when the label was printed, there is a
chance that the disc or label may become attached to
parts inside this unit.When this occurs, it may not be
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this
system to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label
side of the disc is not sticky before using.
The following types of disc should not be used:
– rental or used discs with attached seals where the
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the
seal on the disc is tacky.
– discs that have labels printed using a special ink
that feels tacky when touched.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played back on this system.
Attempting to do so may damage the system. Do not
use such discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the tape tab from side A or B as
illustrated.
Break off the
tape tab
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Before placing a tape into the tape
deck
Take up any slack in the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and
become damaged.
When using a tape longer than
90 minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as playback, stop and fast-winding etc.
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be
sure to clean the tape heads before you start an
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a
separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning tape. For
details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of
use with a separately sold demagnetizing tape. For
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing
tape.
