Dear 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 excite-
ment 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 ata safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and.
Most Mportantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over tine 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 vour hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
* Start your volume control ata low setting.
* Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comtortably
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
* Set the dial and feave it there.
Faking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future, After all, we want you listening
fora lifetinie.

Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or seft cloth
[ ACAUTION
Oo not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a
cloth dampened by volatile salvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch
the surface of the panel and/or cause the
indreator letters to peel off
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
ditty, wipe them with a dry, solt cloth
Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have listened to many cassettes
over a long petiod of time, magnetic powder
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use
in car audio systems
Handling Cassette Tapes
* Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone
slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a
pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing
slack cassette tapes can result in the tape
tangling around the capstan and/or pinch
rollers, causing trouble
Deo not play a deformed cassette or one
whose label ts starting to come off, as it can
cause the unit to malfunction
Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on
dashboards and other spots exposed to
direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They
can deforrn the cassette.
Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,
such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes
are very thin, and can tangle easily around
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,
causing unit failure.
Remove a cassette tape from the unit when
not listening to it for a while. if you leave a
tape tn the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction
