Precautions
1. Warranty Claim
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of the unit. In
case of warranty claim, please report this number.
2. Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
3. Deck Location
· Do not use or leave in direct sunlight or in other places
subject to high temperature and humidity. The unit should
also not be left in potentially hot places such as near heating
appliances. Excessive heat and moisture can lead to internal
damage and serious malfunctions. (This also applies to
cassette tapes.) The recommended ambient temperature range
is 5
°C to 35°C.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and locations prone to vibra-
tions.
· Be extremely careful with the recording/playback heads.
Clean and demagnetize them regularly, but under no circum-
stances should magnets or other metals be used anywhere
near the heads.
· This unit is extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, so do not
use near large speakers or other devices which generate
magnetic fields.
· Hum may even be included by magnetic flux leakage from
the power transformer in certain amplifiers. Therefore, this
unit should also be kept clear of the amplifier.
· Do not remove the cabinet case. If any of the internal parts
are handled, there is a considerable danger of electric shock.
4. Cassettes to Avoid:
· Cassettes with poorly formed cases that rattle during rewind
and fast forward.
· Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or pressure pad spring
should never be used for stereo.
· C-120 cassettes -- because the tape and the coating are
extremely thin, distortion levels are high. Also, even a slight
stretching of the tape will make it susceptible to being caught
up in the pinch roller and capstan.
· Endless tapes, if used for a long period of time, can overheat.
5. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CARE-
FULLY.
·
Some models are designed for use only with the power
supply voltage of the region where they are sold.
European and Australian models: AC 230 V, 50 Hz
U.S.A. and Canadian models:
AC120 V, 60 Hz
Worldwide model:
AC 120/220-230 V
switchable, 50/60 Hz
· Voltage Selector (Rear Panel)
The worldwide model is equipped with a voltage selector
to conform with local power supplies. Be sure to set this
switch to match the voltage of the power supply in your
area before plugging in the unit. (See "Setting the Voltage
Selector [Worldwide Model Only]" on page 5.) Models
without a voltage selector can only be used in areas where
the power supply voltage is the same as that of the unit.

8. Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its location
or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or if placed in a
built-in installation, such as a book case or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings, there should be free
space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and open up behind the appliance.
9. Heat -- The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources --
The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
11. Polarization --
The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The
polarized plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble inserting
it, the user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under
no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the polarization of
the plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection --
Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, especially near plug, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Cleaning -- The appliance should be cleaned only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
14. Nonuse Periods --
The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
