(1)  
(2)  
this device may not cause harmful interference, and  
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause  
undesired operation.  
NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses  
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
-
-
-
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD  
After connecting the speakers unwind the AC power cord fully and connect it to any  
convenient household AC outlet.  
NOTE:  
This product is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC only. Connecting  
this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is

polarized AC power plug having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety  
feature.  
If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet,  
do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the  
wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug  
will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-  
dated non-polarizedAC outlet. You should have your

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product  
from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from  
non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any  
marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based  
furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the  
rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.  
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you  
purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and  
home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom  
of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording. 100%  
compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems  
with your player.

MAKING A TAPE RECORDING  
This cassette recorder features an Automatic Recording Volume Level Control  
System that prevents overloaded or distorted recordings. You can change the  
volume level as often as you like during the recording process. It will not have any  
effect on the volume level of the recording itself.  
1.) Insert a good quality blank tape into DECK A with the exposed tape facing  
down and the full reel on the left side. Close DECK A door.  
2.) Select the source you wish to record:  
PHONO, TUNER, CD or TAPE (Tape Dubbing) and operate that source as you  
normally would.  
3.) Press the Record  
key on DECK A to begin recording.  
NOTE: When recording from Cassette B to Cassette A you can press the HI-  
SPEED DUBBING button to "ON " to select high speed dubbing which allows  
you to make recordings at approximately twice the normal recording speed.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperature.  
2. Do not tamper the internal components of the unit.  
3. Clean your unit with a dry cloth. Solvent or detergent should never be used.  
4. Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.  
5. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise  
such as fluorescent lamps or motors.  
ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES  
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as  
the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material  
which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs  
for each side of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you  
cannot accidentally record on side A. The Record  
key cannot be depressed if  
the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.  
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or  
similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the  
record key from locking.

BREAK OFF TO PREVENT RECORDING  
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with  
a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the Record  
key to function again.  
CASSETTE CARE  
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:  
1.) Tape jamming - Leading to uneven speed in playback, and  
2.) Tape tangling - Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.  
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions  
should be observed:  
26  
 
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible  
through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).  
Takeupanylooselayers,usingapencilorhexagonal  
barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette  
into the machine (see Fig. 2).  
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation  
shown see Fig. 2 , the tape may be jamming due to  
ridges formed in the winding of the tape visible  
through the center window . These may be removed, in  
most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one  
end to the other and back again.  
Fig. 2  
Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.  
Furthermore,do not exposecassettesto directsunlight,dust or oil, and do not touch  
the tape surfaces.  
HEAD CLEANING  
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes  
particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these  
partsand impairperformance.Switchoff the power, pressthe Stop/Eject

COMPACT DISC CARE  
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves  
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
CARE OF THE CABINETS  
If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use  
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.  
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned  
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never  
use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.  
Caution: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while  
cleaning.
