systems, burning software and methods, we cannot guarantee that every burnt CD will be

played immaculately. The device does not play CD-ROMs or DVD media.

How to handle CDs

Only touch CDs at the edges to avoid finger prints and dirt.

Clean dirty CDs carefully with a soft non-fluff cloth by wiping from

the middle to the outside. Avoid circulating movements! Do not

Turn the antenna to find the best antenna orientation.

For AM reception the device has a built-in antenna. If AM reception is noisy or distorted,

please turn the unit to find the best orientation.

Use the TUNING control to select the broadcasting stations. The dial scale behind the

TUNING knob will help you to locate stations.

When receiving FM Stereo transmission, the FM ST indication is activated. For MONO

transmission or weak, noisy reception, put the BAND switch into FM position to improve

the sound quality.

Cassette operation

Do not use C-120 tapes or very cheap tapes. This may lead to malfunctioning and tape

spillage. Before inserting a tape please ensure that the tape reels run smoothly and that

there are no tape loops. Otherwise this might result in tape spillage.

The tapes are equipped with plastic clips which can be

removed to secure recordings against re-recording or erasing

(see Fig.). The resulting deepening may be covered with

adhesive tape to re-record the tape.

ATTENTION!

When you have removed the erase protection, the record button will be locked and cannot

be pressed! These plastic clips are also removed in commercial music tapes.

Play Tapes

Put the function switch into the position TAPE.

Press the button / STOP/EJ. The cassette compartment opens, and you can insert a

recorded tape with tape opening upwards into the cover bracket. The full tape reel

should be on the right side.

Carefully close the cover by slighting pressing down the cover of the cassette

compartment. Press the play / PLAY button . The tape will be played.

If you want to interrupt the playback for a short time only, press the / PAUSE button.

If you press this button again, the playback will continue.

You may discontinue the playback by pressing the / STOP/EJ. button.

Fast Forward and Rewind

You can run forward and rewind the stopped tape. Use the / F.FWD button for fast

forward and the / REW button for fast rewind. When you have reached the desired tape

position, press the / STOP/EJ. button to stop the process. Never use the fast forward or

rewind functions during playback. This may cause damage to the tape.

Record Tapes

Put a cassette into the compartment: The side to be recorded must be visible from the

outside. The full tape reel has to be on the right side. Any previous recordings will be

overwritten. Please keep in mind that the first centimetres of the tape material are not

recordable.

You need not pay attention on the level control – the recording automatics will regulate the

best possible level control. The volume control has therefore no impact on the recording.

Select the sound source you would like to record (CD or RADIO). Prepare the CD

component or the radio for playing in accordance with these instruction.

Press the Pause / PAUSE button, then the record / REC button. The / PLAY

button will also click into place. In order to start recording, press the PAUSE button again

to release it.

The / STOP/EJ. button discontinues the recording.

Automatic Tape Stop

When in the process of recording or playback the end of the tape is reached, the tape stops

automatically and the relevant button is released.

Cleaning

In order to avoid tape transport errors you should regularly clean the parts of the cassette

recorder which have contact with the tape. Either use a cleaning cassette available from

specialized dealers or clean the parts shown below manually. For this, you will need a cotton

bud soaked in spirit or a lint-free cotton cloth. Never use hard or metallic items for cleaning:

this would damage the device.

Unplug the device, open the cassette department and press the / PLAY and

/ PAUSE buttons without a cassette being inserted. Begin the cleaning.

domestic waste, but in accordance with national environmental guidelines.
