We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
YAMAHA 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.
Since hearing damage from loud sounds
is often undetectable until it is too late,
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics
Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive volume levels.
1. This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To ensure
proper operation for the best possible performance, please
read this manual carefully.
2. Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as
transformers or motors.
3. Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage to the
deck or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the deck, contact your local dealer.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself.
5. Do not apply excessive force when operating switches and
knobs.
6. When moving the deck, be sure to first pull out the power
plug and remove all cords connecting the deck to other
equipment.
7. Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as
this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8. Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to
come near the record/playback head assembly. Doing so
may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-smooth
finish, it may also change the magnetic characteristics of the
heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction quality.
9. Although the record/playback head used in this unit is a high
quality head with outstanding reproduction characteristics, it
can become dirty through the use of old tapes or from dust
accumulation over time. This can have a serious effect on
reproduction quality. Clean the heads regularly with one of
the commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning
solutions as explained later in this manual.
10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section of this
manual for advice on common operating errors before
concluding that your unit is faulty.
11. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
12. Voltage Selector (General model only)
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must
be set for your local mains voltage BEFORE plugging in
the AC mains supply. (Voltage selector adjustable
between 110/120/220/240 V AC.)
