Care and Maintenance
Compact Discs
Handle your compact discs, cassette
tapes, and Cassette Deck carefully,
and they will last a long time.
• Remove the CD from the case
by holding it at the edges while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface
of the CD, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the CD when placing
it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.
• A dirty CD may not play
correctly. If a CD does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in
a straight line, from center to
edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-
tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean
a CD.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens
inside the Unit in the following
cases:
•
After starting the heating in the
room.
• In a damp room.
• If the unit is brought directly
from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the Unit may
malfunction. In this case, leave the
unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates, unplug the
AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your tapes, CDs, and the mechanism clean.
•
Store tapes and CDs in their cases, and keep them in
cabinets or on shelves.
• Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape holder and the CD trays
closed when not in use.
Cassette Tapes
• If the tape is loose in its
cassette, take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the
reels and rotating.
• If the tape is loose, it may get
stretched, cut, or caught in the
cassette.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not store the tape:
-
In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In moist areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette Deck
• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette
Deck become dirty, the following will occur:
-
Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
- Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a
cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce
noise or lose high frequencies.
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a
head demagnetizer (available at electronics and record
shops).
