Always check that the tape is wound tightly inside the take-up spool on

CLEANING OF TAPE HEAD & CAPSTAN
Since the tapes contain oxides, you will find black residue building up
on the tape head and drive capstan (inside cassette door). These
residues should be cleaned after 50 to 100 hours of accumulated tape
operation. You can either clean them by hand, with a cotton swab
slightly damp with alcohol (do not use any petroleum solvent) or a
commercial tape head cleaning solution available at most stereo
stores. Or you can use a special cleaning cassette (also available at
stereo stores) that automatically cleans the head and capstan when
inserted.

DEMAGNETIZING
The movement of the magnetic tape across the head and metal par1s
of the tape player causes a magnetic field to develop. We recommend
you have the tape player demagnetized at least twice annually. You
can buy an inexpensive demagnetizing tool or have a stereo shop do
it for you.

1. ON/OFF SWITCHNOLUME CONTROL
Rotate this knob to the right to turn the radio on. Continue rotation until
the desired volume level is obtained.
2. TONE CONTROL
Allows you to emphasize bass or treble tones to suit your listening
preference. Rotate clockwise to increase treble, counterclockwise to
increase bass.
3. LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE CONTROL
Allows you to adjust stereo balance between left and right speakers.
Rotate clockwise to emphasize right speaker. counterclockwise to em-
phasize left speaker.
4. AM/FM SELECTOR
T o change from AM to FM band depress this button. In the in-position you
will receive FM and FM Stereo broadcasts. In the outward position
(depress and release) you will receive AM broadcast.
5. MANUAL TUNING
By rotating the knob you can manually change the station. When using
this control to select a station always adjust it so you are receiving the full
signal (exactly in the center of the broadcast frequency).
6. STEREO INDICA TOR (RED)
This will illuminate whenever you have selected a stereo station. If the
light flickers or goes on and off as you drive it is an indication that the
stereo signal is too weak to reproduce and you should select another
station.
7. ANTENNA TRIMMER
It is very important to adjust the ANTENNA TRIMMER for optimum AM
reception. Antenna trimmer is located at the back in the tape slot. Tune
in a weak station around 1400KHz and adjust the trimmer with a small
screw driver for maximum output.
8. lOCAl-DISTANTSWITCH
This two position switch is incorporated to allow maximum reception in
both weak and strong FM signal areas. When tuned to a weak (distant)
station push switch in. This will allow maximum signal to the receiver.
When in an extremely strong signal area (local), release switch. This will
eliminate all weak signals and suppress overly strong signals so as to
avoid overloading the receiver input. When moving out of a strong signal
area, return switch to the "distant" position.
Note: The local-Distant switch only affects FM signals.
9. CASSETTE SlOT
Hold the cassette with the expos~d tape edge to the right and insert into
the cassette slot. Depress fully until the cassette is engaged. It will start
playing immediately.
Note: Check that the tape is tightly wound on the spools before inserting.
C-120 (120 minutes) cassettes should not be used as the tape tangles
easily,
10. FAST-FORWARD/EJECT BUTTON
This button performs two functions. Tb eject a cassette simply depress
this button fully then release. The cassette will eject for easy removal.
This button also allows you to rapidly advance the tape so you can skip
any undesired tape programs. To use fast-forward, depress button half-
way in to the locked position. To stop fast-forward, depress button slightly
(do not press fully in or cassette will eject) and release. The tape will
resume normal speed.
