1. Power sources - The unit should be connectedto a power supply only of the type described in theoperating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

2. Power-cord protect¡on - Power-supply cordsshould be routed so that they are not likely to bewalked on or pinched by items placed upon oragainst them, pay particular attention to cords atplugs, convenience receptacles, and the point wherethey exit from the unit.

Never pull or stretchthð cord.

3. Grounding or polarization - The precautionsshould be taken so that the grounding or polariza-tion means of this unit is not defeated.

4. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so thatits location or position does not interfere with itsproper ventilation.To maintain good ventilation, do not put records ora table-cloth on the unit. Place the unit at least10 cm away from the walls.Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similarsurface that may block the ventilation openings.

5. Water and moisture - The unit should not beused near water - for example, near a bathtub,washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.

d

6. Temperature - The unit may not function pro-perly if used at extremely low, or freezing tempera-tures. The ideal ambient temperature is above + 5oC(410F).

7. Heat - The unit should be situated away fromheat sources such as radiators, heat registers,stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) thatproduce heat.

8. Electric shock - Care should be taken so that ob-jects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the en-closure through openings. lf a metal object, such asa hair pin or a needle, comes into contact w¡th theinside of this unit, a dangerous electric shock mayresult. For families with children, never permit chil-dren to put anything, especially metal, inside thisunit

9. Enclosure removal - Never remove the en-closure. lf the internal parts are touched accidentally,a serious electric shock might occur.

to qualified service personnel.

18. Outdoor antenna grounding - lf an outside an-

tenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the an-

tenna system is grounded so as to provide someprotection against voltage surges and built up staticcharges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-1984, provides informationwith respect to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wireto an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connec-t¡on to grounding electrodes, and requiremenls forthe grounding electrode. See Figure.

Note:1, The 120 minuto cassolte tapes ar€ not recomended because

thoy aro too thin and may be damaged by repeatod use.2. The use of endless tap6 is not recomended as th6y may cause

malfunction of the unit.

I Cleaning the head sect¡on

As the tape rubs against the heads during recording and play-back, oxide debris from the tape accumulates on the heads,guides, and pinch roller. To maintain the optimum recordingand playback performance, periodically clean the entire tapepath, including the heads (about every 10 hours of use).

Head Demagnet¡zationA magnetized record/play head may degrade the sound quali-ty and increase the noise. ln this case, use the commerciallyavailable Head Eraser to demagnetize the head.

Cleaning the hoad soction1. Press the EJECT button (A) and the cassette holder will

slide forward.2. Clean the heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a ootton

swab slightly dampened with cleaning solvent (or denaturedalcohol).As there is a wide variety of commercially-available clean-ing fluids, carefully read the instructions provided with yourcleaning kit and use the appropriale type of fluid.

Noto:The heads and guides ¡n the tape path aro precisely ad¡ustod. Donot oxort excessive prgssuro on any parts while cleaníng,

I Beware of condensationWater vapor in the air may condense on cold parts, forming"dew" on their surfaces.For example, when a bottle is taken out of the ref rigerator andbrought into a warm room, droplets of water will form on the

'bottle surface. This phenomenon is called "condensation".lf this occurs inside the unit, the player may operate incorrect-ly or may not function at all.This is not a malfunction, however, the player should be leftuntil it ¡s dry. (Turn the power of this unit ON and leave theplayer for awhile. After several hours, even ¡n the worst case,the player will stabilize and correct playback will be possible.)Be especially careful in the following cases:

. When the unit is suddenly brought from a cold place to a

warm place (causing rapid temperature change).. When the temperature of the room is raised suddenly us-

ing a heater, etc.r When the unit is brought from a well-cooled (air-

conditioned) room in to a damp and hot room.. ln conditions where the temperature difference between the

surroundings and this unit might cause condensation.

Dolby no¡se reduct¡on systemThe Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reducethe tape hiss noise generated during play back.The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained whenthe same type NR system is used for both recording and play-back, lf a different type NR system is used, playback is notperformed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduc-lion system is used for both recording and playback.Dolby B-type NR:The most popular noise reduction system used in home audiocomponents. Usually. Dolby NR system corresponds to B-typeNR.Dolby C-type NR:ln Dolby C-type NR, the effect of Dolby B-type NR is greatlyimproved. lt features a superior noise reduction effect. Use Dol-by C-type NR to record or playback with this unit.It is recommended that tapes recorded with the Dolby NR sys-tem be marked "8" or "C", so that they can easily be distin-guished.

What is Dolby HX Proln ordinary recording using high-frequency biasing, the high-frequency bias current, which should be constant. is increasedwith some recording sources due to the high-frequency com-ponent contained in the music, etc. This increase affects therecording characteristics with distorted high frequencies anddegraded dynamic range and frequency response.The Dolby HX Pro circuit detects the high-frequency compo-nent contained in the music source being recorded, andreduces excessive bias current to make it constant. As a result,the recording characleristics of high frequencies are drastical-ly improved, and the improved high-frequency reproduction canalso be enjoyed even when the tape is played on tape deckswhich are not equipped with circuit.
