Things to know before you start  
recording  
Standard recording  
You can record any sound source to tape.  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record  
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the  
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or  
video recording, broadcast or cable programme and  
in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work  
embodied therein.  
The sources are disc, tuner, auxiliary equipment, microphone, and  
guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can be mixed with  
any source.  
1.Insert a blank or erasable cassette tape  
into the cassette deck.  
Be sure that the tape direction indicator and the tape insertion  
direction are as follows:  
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set  
reverse mode to

recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure that  
the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with reverse  
mode is on.  
Tape direction indicator  
Tape insertion direction  
The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not  
affected by the VOLUME control on the system or by adjusting  
the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the  
sound you are actually listening to without affecting the  
recording level.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A  
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording.

(Forward)  
* Recording will be made on  
the tape side facing you.  
(Front view)  
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover  
the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape  
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part  
of the hole (type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.

tape, press REVERSE MODE on the remote  
control to set the cassette deck in reverse  
mode.  
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive  
noise or static, the system may have been too

Care and maintenance  
■  
Compact discs  
Handle your discs carefully, and they will last a long time.  
General notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
discs and the mechanism clean.  
• This system can play back the following discs:  
– Audio CD  
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.  
• Keep the disc compartment door closed when not in use.  
– Finalized CD-R/CD-RW recorded in audio  
CD format or MP3 format  
However, continued use of irregular shape  
discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage  
the system.  
Cleaning the lens  
If the lens in the pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.  
Open the disc compartment door and clean the lens as shown.  
• Use a blower (available at camera stores) to blow dust off the  
lens.  
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at  
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole  
lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or  
bend the disc.  
Blower  
Lens  
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent  
warping.

when recording important material or  
listening to a disc.  
• The memory backup batteries will not be  
consumed as long as the power is supplied  
from an AC outlet, loaded 10 batteries, or  
car battery (DC12V). However, if no power  
is supplied to the system, the memory  
backup batteries should be replaced with  
new ones approximately every 12 months to  
securely maintain the contents of the  
memory.  
• Before replacing the memory backup  
batteries, always connect theAC power cord  
to the system to prevent the contents of  
memory from being erased.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,  
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of  
equipment) are properly made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when  
making or changing connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch  
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended  
operation or has standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is  
illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screwsto ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s  
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in  
a fatal electrical shock.

Things to know before you start  
recording  
Standard recording  
You can record any sound source to tape.  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record  
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the  
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or  
video recording, broadcast or cable programme and  
in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work  
embodied therein.  
The sources are disc, tuner, auxiliary equipment, microphone, and  
guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can be mixed with  
any source.  
1.Insert a blank or erasable cassette tape  
into the cassette deck.  
Be sure that the tape direction indicator and the tape insertion  
direction are as follows:  
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set

[Forward and reverse recording]  
recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure that  
the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with reverse  
mode is on.  
Tape direction indicator  
Tape insertion direction  
The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not  
affected by the VOLUME control on the system or by adjusting  
the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the  
sound you are actually listening to without affecting the  
recording level.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A  
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording.

(Forward)  
* Recording will be made on  
the tape side facing you.  
(Front view)  
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover  
the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape  
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part  
of the hole (type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.

the leader tape which cannot be recorded onto.)  
• If the inserted tape is not fully rewound, press 4 to rewind the  
tape up to the end point of the leader tape which cannot be  
recorded onto.  
Adhesive tape  
Type I and type II tapes can be used for recording.  
Note:  
At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which  
cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the  
leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.

tape, press REVERSE MODE on the remote  
control to set the cassette deck in reverse  
mode.  
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive  
noise or static, the system may have been too

Care and maintenance  
■  
Compact discs  
Handle your discs carefully, and they will last a long time.  
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a  
cotton swab.  
• This system can play back the following discs:  
– Audio CD  
– Finalized CD-R/CD-RW recorded in audio  
CD format or MP3 format  
However, continued use of irregular shape  
discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage  
the system.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
system in the following cases:  
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at  
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole  
lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or  
bend the disc.  
• After turning on heating in the room.  
• In a damp room.  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to  
a warm place.  
Should this occur, the system may malfunction.  
In this case, leave the system turned on for a few  
hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the  
AC power cord, and then plug it in again.  
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent  
warping.  
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc  
when placing it back in the case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature  
extremes, and moisture.  
Cassette tapes  
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or  
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by  
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and  
rotating.  
• A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc  
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a  
straight line from center to edge.  
• Do not touch the tape surface.  
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean a disc.  
• Do not store the tape:  
– In dusty places  
– In direct sunlight or heat  
– In moist areas  
– On a TV or speaker  
– Near a magnet  
General notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
discs and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.  
• Keep the disc compartment door closed when not in use.  
Cassette deck  
• If the heads, capstans, or pinch-rollers of the cassette deck  
become dirty, the following may occur:  
– Loss of sound quality  
– Discontinuous sound  
– Fading  
Cleaning the lens  
If the lens in the pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.  
Open the disc compartment door and clean the lens as shown.  
• Use a blower (available at camera stores) to blow dust off the  
lens.  
– Incomplete erasure  
– Difficulty recording  
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab  
moistened with alcohol.  
Capstans
