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 ex-
cessively humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck
next to kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily
smoke or humidity.
•
If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier, it may pick
up humming or 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-
ference noise, which will be recorded as a whistling sound on
the tape. If this happens, move the deck further away from the
television 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 mal-
function.
CONDENSATION
When the deck is moved from a cold location to a warm location,
or when the temperature of the room changes suddenly, conden-
sation may form on the mechanical parts. This can adversely af-
fect the performance of the deck. If condensation forms, wait for
about one hour to allow the deck to adjust to the room tempera-
ture. To prevent condensation when heating a room, raise the
temperature
slowly.
THE POWER
SWITCH
IS SECONDARY
CONNECTED
AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT FROM MAINS
POWER IN STANDBY POSITION.

CLEAN|NG
THE
HEADS"
PINCH
ROLLERS
lAND
CAPSTANS
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty quite
easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the high fre-
quency components of a recording will not be reproduced and the
stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration of the
playback sound. It is therefore recommended
that the head sec-
tion be cleaned regularly.
1. Set the POWER switch to STANDBY.
2. Press the eject button to open the cassette door.
3. Dip a cleaning swab in cleaning fluid and use it to wipe the
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
NO TE:
After cleaning the head secdon, do not load a tape until the clean-
ing fluid has dried completely (about two or three minutes).
I 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-fre-
quency sounds will be lost during recording or playback, and in-
terference noise may also occur. The heads should be 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 the cassette deck is set to ON. However, be sure to turn
down the amplifier's volume control to its lowest position, and dis-
connect any headphones from their headphones jack. For detailed
instructions, refer to the operating instructions of the head de-
magnetizer.
CLEANING
THE FRONT PANEL
]
Clean the deck regularly with a soft cloth. If the front panel becomes
soiled, moisten
a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral deter-
gent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and
wipe the panel clean. Never use volatile cleaners like thinners,
benzine or alcohol because they will damage the panel finish.
