■If trouble occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal
supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1. Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2. If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.
■Clearing all the memory (reset)

2. Whilst pressing down the 00
00

AL”appears.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset.
Cleaning the tape-handling parts
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab
moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains high voltages.
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these
parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetise. Read the
demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.
