CLEANING
1.
2:
Turn the power off, before cleaning the
unit.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, thin-
ner, benzine and any such kind of
objects.
. Wipe the front panel and other exterior
surfaces of the unit with a soft dry cloth
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
neutral detergent.
lf an abnormal smell or smoke is detect-
ed, immediately turn the power off.
@ If you have difficulty in installing the set
in your car, please contact your KEN-
WOOD dealer.
NOTES ON HANDLING TAPE
¢ Before loading a cassette, check the tape
for slack. If there is slack tape, remove
it using a pencil to turn one of the spools
in the cassette shell.
e Do not expose the cassette tape to direct
sunlight. Leaving a cassette at high tem-
perature or humidity can deform the cas-
settte shell or tape.
e 120-minute tape is very thin. Avoid its
use, because it can easily be twisted
around the pinch roller.
HEAD CLEANING
Magnetic particles from the tape adhere to
the head surface after a long period of use,
resulting in noise and poor quality sound.
Clean the head with cleaning tape available
at your KENWOOD dealer. And follow the
directions with the head cleaner.
