PLEASE READ THIS OPERATING MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING
THIS UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

DEAR JENSEN® CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
zSet the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its back cover. You should note the serial
number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in
identification in the event of theft of loss.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving
when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material
specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However
certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may
cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To
prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the
product on fine wooden furniture.

ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new
material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save,
blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase
prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The Record
key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to
break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key form locking.
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of
cellophane tape. This will allow the Record to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be
observed:
zCheck that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the
cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers,
using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before
inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
zIf the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see
Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the
winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These
may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette
from one end to the other and back again.
zUse only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120
cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape
surfaces.
