heating appliances. Excessive heat and
moisture can lead to internal damage and
serious malfunctions (this also applies to
cassettetapes).The recommendedambient
temperature range is 5°C to 35°C.

prone to vibrations.
•Be extremely careful with the recording/
playback heads. Clean and demagnetize
themregularly,but under no circumstances
should magnets or other metals be used
anywhere near the heads.

leakage from the power transformer in
certain amplifiers. Therefore, this unit
should also be kept clear of the amplifier.
•Do not remove the cabinet case. If any of
the internal parts are handled, there is a
considerable danger of electric shock.
4. Cassettes to Avoid:
•Cassettes with poorly formed cases that
rattle during rewind and fast forward.
•Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or
pressure pad spring should never be used
for stereo.
•C-120 cassettes because the tape and the
coatingareextremely thin, distortion levels
are high. Also, even a slight stretching of
the tape will make it susceptible to being
caught up in the pinch roller and capstan.
•Endless tapes, if used for a long period of
time, can overheat.
5. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front
and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft
cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in
a weak solution of mild detergent and water,
wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.
