Information for the customers in the U.S.A.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may
cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B computing device in accordance with the specifi-
cations in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such in-
terference in a residential installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in-
stallation. If this equipment does cause interference to ra-
dio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that
equipment and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful:
“How to Identify and Resolve RadioTV Interference
Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock
No. 004-000-00345-4.
For the customers in Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions set out in Radio Interference Regulations.

The CFD-460 is a CD radio cassette-corder equipped with
a tuner, a CD player, a double deck cassette player, and
a set of 2-way separate speakers.
CD player
* Capability for playing an 8 cm (3 inch) CD without the use
of an adaptor.
¢ Intro scan function for playing the first ten seconds of all
the selections.
¢ Repeat function for playing the entire disc or a desired
selection.
© Repeat shuffle function for playing selections repeatedly in

¢ Synchronized starting system for both CD recording and
tape dubbing.
* High speed dubbing function for faster tape dubbing.
General
¢ A Bass Boost control and a 4-band graphic equalizer for
adjusting the tone quality to your preference.
® Large dials for easy tuning and volume control.
On safety
© Operate the unit only on 120V AC or 12V DC.
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not
use any other type.
For battery operation, use eight size D (R20) batteries.
© Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
¢ When the internal batteries are not to be used, remove
them to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and
corrosion.
* As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful
to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
© Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug
the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On installation
© Donot leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
* Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the
proper operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its
components.
© Ifthe unit is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to
choose a location in the car where the unit will not be
subject to the direct rays of the sun.
© Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On operation
¢ Ifthe unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
oris placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense
on the lenses inside the CD player section. Should this
occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and wait about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate.
If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before
inserting a cassette.
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not
recommended except for,ong continuous recording or
playback. 4

Cleaning the heads and tape path
We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation.
To make the best possible recordings, however, you should
clean all surfaces over which the tape travels before making
each recording.
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan witha
cleaning tip slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.
After cleaning the heads and tape path, insert a cassette
when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
Demagnetizing heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will
have built up on the heads to begin to cause loss of high
frequencies and hiss. At this time you should demagnetize
the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a
commercially available head demagnetizer. Be sure that the
cassette-corder is turned off while you demagnetize.
Cleaning the lens
If you have accidentally touched the lens of the CD player
section with dirty fingers or the dust has accumulated on the
lens, the unit will not operate properly. In such cases clean
the lens with lens cleaning kit (not supplied).
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as
alcohol or benzine.
