Factory fitted moulded mains plug
1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only
a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in
the moulded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the
plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home
or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain
an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter,
or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse
and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible
shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains sup-
ply.
IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three-
pin plug.
*AC voltage selection
The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the
voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make
sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line
voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance
with the following direction.
AC voltage selector switch
Move switch lever to match your line volt-
age with a small screwdriver or other
pointed tool.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive
line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selec-
tor switch.

A tip for use of the tape counter
The tape counter is set to “0000” when a cassette tape is
loaded. By writing down the counter reading in case you
want to interrupt recording (playback) in the middle of
the tape, the memo will be helpful as a reference for lo-
cating the same position when continuing the recording
(playback) the next time. The tape counter figure decre-
ments during recording or playback of the back side (while
the 2tape transport indicator is lit). To set the tape
counter to “0000”, open the cassette holder once. Then
the counter will be reset.
1“” : (REVERSE)
Both sides are played back (recorded), and then the
tape stops.
2“”:(ENDLESS)
Both sides are played back endlessly.
(The tape stops after recording onto both sides.)
3“”: (ONE-WAY)
Only one side is played back (recorded), and then
the tape stops.
(Press the set/demo key while the “?” mark
is blinking.)
(The initial setting is " " (REVERSE).
4¢
Tape counter
Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute re-
cording time, for the tape used with such a cassette
is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as en-
tanglement around the pinch roller or cutting of
tape.
