Services.
Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the

before using your cassette deck, follow them closely, and

bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for mounting, and use a recommended mounting
accessory.
Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
product/cart to overturn.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide
ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from
overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and
do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in
bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as
specified by the manufacturer.
Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power source indicated
on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home’s power type, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
Lightning — For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
