Additional Information Precautions On operating voltage Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. On safety • The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. • Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Before placing a cassette in the tape deck Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism and become damaged. When using a tape longer than 90 minutes The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc. too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism. Cleaning the tape heads Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Troubleshooting (continued) The remote does not work. •There is an obstacle between the remote and the system. •You are not pointing the remote in the direction of the system’s sensor. •The batteries in the remote have run down. Replace the batteries. •Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly. •Do not place the system near equipments that use an AC-to-DC electric inverter. Speakers Sound comes from only one channel, or the left and right volumes are unbalanced.
Tuner There is a severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or “STEREO” flashes). • Adjust the antenna. • The signal strength is too weak. Connect an external antenna (see page 9). • Make sure that the antenna is connected properly. • Do not bend or roll up the antenna. • The two wires comprising the FM antenna have been pulled further apart since the system was first purchased. Repair or replace with a new one. • The AM antenna wire is detached from the stand. A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo.
