CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
Low quality tapes tend to break and stretch and a broken tape can easily become
entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes will
run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
☛ Use only quality brands of tapes.
☛ Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme
thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
☛ This unit is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be
sure to use name brand normal cassette tapes.

IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
☛ After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tape are used,
the sound during playback may become “muffled” or in extreme cases, almost
inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE MACHINE ITSELF but merely
a deposit of oxide and other contaminating element on the tape head.
The easiest way to overcome the problem is by using a head-cleaning
cassette.
Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully and DO NOT
OVER-USE as this may cause undue wear.
Don’t attempt to scrape the contamination away with a sharp implement.
☛ Other common causes of troubles are:
➊ Tapes jamming – leading to uneven speed during playback.
➋ Tapes tangling – where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the
following precautions:
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette
center window. Take-up these loose layers using a pencil or ballpoint pen
before inserting the cassette into the machine.
If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation, the tape may be
jamming due to “ridges” in the winding of the tape (visible through the
center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding the
cassette from one end to the other and back again. Or the tape may be
permanently damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this
may cause your set to break.
NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE TAPES
☛ Do not put a cassette near a magnetic field, such as a TV set, or speaker.
Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
☛ Do not store cassette for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
TO PLAY CASSETTE TAPE
➊ Open the cassette door by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject Button (27) (in
some cases, you may have to press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button (27) twice
since this button has combined functions).
➋ Insert the cassette, with the exposed tape facing downwards, into the tracks of
the cassette door.
➌ Close the cassette door.
➍ Press the TAPE Button (14) to set the tape on (the TAPE Indicator (13) will
illuminate).
➎ Press down the Cassette Play Button (23).
➏ Adjust the VOLUME UP/DOWN CONTROL (16) OR (51) to your listening
preference.
➐ To stop the tape manually, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button (27).
➑ To remove the cassette, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button (27) again and
the cassette door will open.
Unload the cassette tape, reverse it and return to cassette compartment if you
want to play the other side of the cassette tape.
CAUTION:
☛ The automatic stopping mechanism may not operate during playback of tape
when the unit is using batteries and the battery level is low (weak batteries).
☛ Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet and the unit if the unit is not
going to be used for a long period of time (2 weeks or more).
☛ Do not leave any tape buttons down when the set is not in use, or else the
pinch roller could be damaged.
TO RECORD FROM BUILT-IN RADIO
➊ Follow the instructions to play the radio.
➋ Load the cassette tape into the cassette compartment.
➌ Locate the portion of the tape where you desire to start recording
Using the Rewind feature (or Fast Forward) to start at the beginning of the

NOTE: When you want to play the cassette tape after recording, press
Cassette Stop/Eject Button (27) first, then press Rewind Button (24) to
locate the desired portion of the tape, and finally press Cassette Play
Button (23). Adjust VOLUME UP/DOWN CONTROL (16) OR (51) to

COMPACT DISC OPERATION
HANDLING A DISC
☛ Although built to withstand a certain amount of the effects from dust, soil and
scratches, discs should be treated with care normally according to
conventional analog discs.
☛ Always protect a disc against scratches, soil and dust etc. It is recommended
that the discs should be retained in the original case during non-use periods. If
a disc is treated with reasonable care, the only maintenance likely to be
needed to retain the excellent sound reproduction is wiping the disc with a
cloth as indicated.
To handle a disc, use only one of the two manners illustrated.
(Do not touch the rainbow - coloured side)
To wipe a disc, use only a soft cloth. Do not use benzene or
thinner which will damage the disc. The disc should always
be wiped in a straight line from the center to the edge. It
should never be wiped in a circular motion.
Never place the disc on other equipment or near any heat
source. Avoid positions where the disc would be subjected to
direct sunlight for long periods.
