INSTALLATION
When installing the deck, avoid locations with high
temperatures or humidity, and make sure that the
deck receives adequate ventilation.
• Do not install the deck in locations subject to direct sunlight, or
near a space heater or other heating device, as this may cause
damage to the finish or internal parts.
• Malfunctions may also result if the deck is installed in an exces-
sively humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck next to
kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily smoke or hu-
midity.
• If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier, it may pick up
humming o_ other noise. Also, if the amplifier generates a large
amount of heat, the deck may malfunction.
• If the deck is located near a television set, it may pick up inter
femnce noise, which will be recorded as a whistling sound on the
tape. If this happens, move the deck further away from the tele-
vision set or turn the television set off when operating the deck.
• Do not place a cloth over the deck. or block the ventilation slots in
any way. The ventilation slots on this deck are necessary to keep
internal parts cool. If they are blocked, the deck may malfunction.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tug-
ging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are
wet a this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place
the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The
power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely
to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give
you an electrical shock. Chock the power cord once in a while. When
you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authrized service
center or your dealer for a replacement.
The heeds, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty
quite easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the
high frequency components of a recording will not be repro-
duced end the stereo balance will be Impaired, resulting in a
deterioration of the playback sound. It Is therefore recom-
mended that the head section be cleaned regularly.
1. Set the POWERswitch to STANDBY.
2. Pressthe ejectbuttonto open the cassette door.

NOTE:
After cleaningthe headsection,do not loada tape until the cleaning
fluidhas driedcompletely(abouttwo or three minutes).
DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS
After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the heads will
become magnetized. The same effect will occur if a magnetized
screwdriver, magnet or other magnetized object is brought too
close to the heads. When the heads become magnetized, high-
frequency sounds will be lost during recording or playback, and
interference noise may also occur. The heads should he regularly
demagnetized with a head demagnetizer, which can be purchased at
most audio stores.
When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the POWER switch
of thecassettedeck is set to ON. However, be sure to turn down
the amplifier's volume control to Its lower position, and
disconnect any headphones from their headphones jack. For detailed
instructions, refer to the operating instructions of the head
demagnetizer.
I CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL I
Clean the deck regularly with a sof_cloth. If the front panel becomes
soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutj'al detergent
{diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe the
panel clean. Never use volatile cleaners like thinners, benzine or aloc-
hol because they wi!l damage the panel finish.
