Precautions

On safety/power sources

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

have it checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

• For AC operation, check that the

player’s operating voltage is identical

with your local power supply (see

“Specifications”) and use the supplied

AC power cord; do not use any other

type. The voltage selector is located on

the rear of the player .

• The player is not disconnected from the

AC power source (mains) as long as it is

connected to the wall outlet, even if the

player itself has been turned off.

• For battery operation, use eight R20

(size D) batteries.

• When the batteries are not to be used,

remove them to avoid damage that can

be caused by battery leakage or

corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating

voltage, power consumption, etc. is

located at the rear.

On placement/operation

• Do not leave the player in a location

near heat sources, or in a place subject

to direct sunlight, excessive dust or

mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of

the side of the cabinet. The ventilation

holes must be unobstructed for the

player to operate properly and to

prolong the life of its components.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the

speakers, keep personal credit cards

using magnetic coding or spring-

wound watches away from the player

to prevent possible damage from the

magnet.

• If the player has not been used for a

long time, set it in the playback mode to

warm it up for a few minutes before

inserting a cassette.
