HANDLING A DISC CD OPERATION Although built to withstand a certain amount of the effects from dust, soil and scratches, discs should be treated with the care normally according to conventional analog discs (records). Always protect a disc against scratches, soil and dust etc. We recommend that during non-use periods, the discs should be stored in their original cases.

IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES 1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used, the sound during playback may become muffled or, in extreme cases, almost inaudible. This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a deposit of oxide and other dirt on the tape heads. The easiest way to solve this problem is by using a head-cleaning cassette. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully.

Open the CASSETTE DOOR by pressing the CASSETTE STOP/EJECT button (in some cases, you may have to press the CASSETTE STOP/EJECT button twice since this button has combined functions). 2.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC) This set has the latest Automatic Level Control circuitry, therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the VOLUME CONTROL when recording. This circuit automatically records at the correct level and prevents over loading. NOTE: While recording, you may adjust the VOLUME CONTROL or BASS BOOST switch as you desire without affecting the recording operation. TO RECORD FROM THE BUILT-IN AM/FM RADIO 1. Follow the instructions TO PLAY THE RADIO (see page 6). 2.

To protect the A (or 1) side for cassette tape, break off the A side tab with a screwdriver. Break the small tab to prevent erasing or recording SCREWDRIVER Follow same procedure for B (or 2) side.
