Handling Cassette Tapes
Using any of the following types of cassette
tapes can cause malfunctions.
•Cassette tapes with low recording levels
•Cassette tapes
in which the unrecorded sec-
tion between tracks
is shorter than 4seconds
•Cassette tapes with noise or the like recorded
between tracks
•Cassette tapes
on which there are long unre-
corded sections
in the middle of atrack
Handling precautions
•Slack in the tape can cause malfunctions. In
particular for prerecorded cassette tapes and
gO-minute tapes, take up any slack
in the tape
before inserting it into the cassette player.
Flip Down Panel
•Avoid using cassettes of 120 minutes or
longer. (Such cassettes have extremely thin
tape, so the tape can become stretched or
cut.)
•Periodically
playa cleaning cassette in the
player to clean the head.
•Keep magnet items like magnets, and iron and
steel items like screwdrivers away from both
cassette tapes and the tape head
in the player.
•Do not oil the cassette mechanism.
•Do not use any cassette tapes with peeling
labels or deformed cases. Such cassette tapes
can cause breakdowns.
•When not using the player, always take the
cassette out of the mechanism. Exposing a
cassette to direct sunlight, extreme tempera-
tures or high humidity can damage the cas-
sette.
1. Always use the ARX7570z with the FLIP
DOWN PANEL closed.
When opening and closing the FLIP DOWN
PANEL, be
careful not to catch your fingers.
They could be injured.
The ARX7570z uses aflip-down structure that makes possible large-size displays.
3. Do not use the FLIPDOWN PAN EL as atray

is open.
4. When closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL, do not
press the OPEN button
[TI.
5. Strong impacts to the operating or display
section can cause damage or deformation.
