Before Use
Read This Before Operating
O Choose the installation location of your
unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct
sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to
vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep away from such
sources that hum, such as transformers
or motors.
O Do not open the cabinet as this might
result in damage to the circuitry or
electrical shock. If a foreign object
should get into the set, contact your
dealer.
O When removing the power plug from
the wall outlet, always pull directly on
the plug, never yank the cord.
O Be sure not to handle discs with dirty
fingers. Never insert a disc which has a
crack on the surface.
O Do not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
O Keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
Handling the Tapes
Do not store tapes in the following places:
‚ On top of heaters, exposed to direct
sunlight or in any other places with high
temperatures.
O Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers
or where they would be exposed to
strong magnetic fields.
O Where humidity is high and in dirty,
dusty places.
O Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes
to excessive shocks.
O As C-120 tapes are physically weak and
could become entangled in the
transport mechanism, do not use them.
Cassette Tape
Tape Selection:
For the automatic tape select function to
work properly, metal and chrome (cobalt)
tapes must have identification holes.

and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
O Fingerprints and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc's recorded
surface with a soft cloth.
Wipe radially
O Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol
as they damage the surface of the
disc's plastic surface.
O Discs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches
that could cause the laser pickup to
"skip."
O Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures
can warp the disc.
O Do not stick paper or write anything
with a ballpoint pen on the surface of
the label side.

front panel of the unit.
ª Battery Installation
1. Remove the battery compartment

batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are
inserted with their positive ≠ and
negative – poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover until it clicks.
Battery Replacement.
If you notice that the distance between
the remote control unit and the unit for
correct operation becomes shorter, it
indicates that the batteries are exhaust-
ed. In this case replace the batteries with
new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
O Be sure to insert the batteries with
correct positive ≠ and negative –
polarities.
O Use batteries of the same type. Never
use different types of batteries
together.
O Rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries can be used. Refer to the
precautions on their labels.
O 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
compartment and replace the batteries
with new ones.
O Do not heat or disassemble batteries
and never dispose of old batteries by
throwing them in fire.
