four
‘“AA"
dry
cells
into
the
compartment.
Take
care
that
the
cells
are
oriented
for
correct
polarity.
e When the [€PLAY] button is depressed the [BATT] indicator lamp will go on. If
this indicator remains off or is dim, the battery cells are discharged. Fieplace them
with new "AA" dry cells.
AC Line Operation (with optional AC adaptor)
To power the unit from an AC mains outlet, purchase
the optional AC adaptor. Plug the AC adaptor into a
convenient AC outlet, then insert the output plug
from the adaptor into the [DC IN6V] jack on the
unit. This will automatically disconnect the internal
batteries and supply power to the unit from the AC
mains.
Note: The centre contact in the [DC IN6V] jack of
this unit requires a positive voltage. Incorrect
AC adaptors may provide a negative voltage to
the centre contact, damaging the unit.
If the unit is to be left unused or is to be powered from the AC adaptor for a prolonged
period of time, remove the dry cells from the unit. Otherwise, the cells may leak causing
corrosion of unit parts.
Precautions for Headphone Listening
The supplied headphones are designed for stereo listening. If the headphones are
plugged into an external speaker jack or earphone jack with mono design, sound output
is obtained from only one of the phones.
Never plug an erase plug or earphone into the [PHONES] jack on the unit. An unre-
coverable damage to the unit or earphone may result.
Cassette Tapes
Tape Slack
® Before inserting a cassette tape into the unit, take up
any tape slack to prevent the tape from becoming
entangled around the capstan. To do this, twist the
cassette hub inside the cassette with a pencil.

maximum
tuner
sensitivity,
keep
the
headphone
cord
(antenna)
always
straight.
Do
not
fold
it.
e
Reception

listen
to
tape or radio together.
When
the
T.S

is
decreased
to
make
it
easier
to
hear
other
