POWER SOURCE  
This product is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC only. Attempting to  
operate this system from anyother power source maycause damage to the system,  
and such damage is not covered by your warranty.  
NOTE: You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug  
having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not  
fit into your existing AC outlet, do not  
tryto defeat this safetyfeature byfiling  
the wide blade to make it fit into your  
outlet. If this plug will not fit into your  
AC Outlet  
outlet, you probably have an out-  
dated non-polarized AC outlet. You  
AC Plug  
should have your outlet changed by  
a qualified licensed electrician.  
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly  
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware  
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the  
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.  
IMPORTANT: Raising And Lowering The Lid  
To open the lid, raise it as far as it will go until the lid support bracket ‘locks’ in the  
open position.  
To close the lid, lift it upward slightly until the lid support bracket ‘unlocks’, and then  
gently lower the lid.  
TO AVOID DAMAGING THE CABINET OR THE LID, NEVER FORCE THE LID  
CLOSED. ALWAYS RAISE THE LID TO RELEASE THE LID SUPPORT BRACKET.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
CASSETTE CARE  
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:  
1.) Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and  
2.) Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.  
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions  
should be observed:  
• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible  
through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).  
Takeupanylooselayers, usinga pencilor hexagonal  
barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette  
into the machine (see Fig. 2).  
• If the cassette feels “tight” while performing operation  
shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to  
“ridges” formed in the winding of the tape (visible  
through the center window). These maybe removed, in  
most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one  
end to the other and back again.  
• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.  
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch  
the tape surfaces.

COMPACT DISC CARE  
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves  
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.  
CARE OF THE CABINET  
You should care for the cabinet as you would care for any piece of fine furniture.  
When the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive dust cloth. If the  
cabinet becomes smudged with fingerprints you may use any good quality  
commercial dusting and polishing spray cleaner, however avoid spraying the plastic  
or metal parts of this system. We recommend that you spray the cleaner on your  
dust cloth, not directly on the cabinet, to avoid getting any of the spray on the  
plastic or metal parts.
