magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and
electronic/electrical equipment (home compu-
ters, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
●Hold the AC power plug by the head when re-
moving it from the AC socket, as pulling the lead
can damage internal wires.
●When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc,
remove the AC power plug from the wall socket
as the unit contains high voltages.

Warning:
CD players use a laser pickup which can damage
theeyes if vieweddirectly.Do not lookatthe pickup,
and do not touch the pickup directly.
■Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, how-
ever mistracking can occur due to an accumulation
of dirt on the disc surface.
Followtheguidelinesbelowformaximumenjoyment
from your CD collection and player.
●Donotwriteoneithersideofthedisc,particularly
the non-label side. Signals are read from the
non-label side. Do not mark this surface.
●Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat,
and excessive moisture.
●Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints,
dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or
mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play
properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping
straight out from the centre, along the radius.
■Cassette tape
●For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for
the best sound. (Metal or CrO2tape is not rec-
ommended.)
For recording, use only normal tape.
●Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large
diameter reels, or poor-quality tapes, as they
may cause malfunctions.
●Before loading a tape into the cassette compart-
ment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
●Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent
accidental recording or erasing from taking
place. Removing the tab will protect the corre-
sponding side from being erased. Cover the tab
holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again. Side A (1)
