PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the 'feet' to soften and leave marks or a rubber
residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

DEAR STUDEBAKER CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the
start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the
fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the
future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage
from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late,
this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its bottom. You should note the serial
number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to
aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.

prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or
similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record
key form locking.

If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a
piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the Record to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1) Tape Jamming –Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2) Tape Tangling –Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions
should be observed:
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window
(see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barreled ballpoint pen,
before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape
may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through
the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the
cassette from one end to the other and back again.
Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not
touch the tape surfaces.
HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes
particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these
parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the STOP/EJECT
BUTTON (#8) to open the cassette door, and press the PLAYBUTTON (#11).
Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad
dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

2. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise
