Installation Precautions
2
If the deck is placed near an amplifier, TV or tuner, noise (induced hum) or
beat interference may result, especially during FM or AM reception. If this
occurs, place the deck further away from other components or reorient its
position.
Caution:
A mechanical sound is heard the first time the power switch is set to "ON"
after the power cord is plugged into an outlet. This is the sound of the
cassette mechanism being set to the proper operating state, and is normal.
(When using an AC outlet on a receiver or amplifier, used an
"UNSWITCHED" outlet.)
