3.) Close the cassette door. 4.) When you are ready to start recording press the RECORD key. The PLAY YY key will also engage. The CD you are playing, or radio program you selected will be recorded directly on to the tape. 5.) Press the PAUSE key during recording to stop the tape temporarily and avoid recording unwanted material such as radio commercials. 6.) When you have finished recording press the STOP /EJECT key to stop and remove the tape. BEAT CUT SWITCH (On Left Side Cabinet) Occasionally when recording from the AM radio a repetitive whistle or ‘beat’sound may be heard. If this occurs slide the BEAT CUT switch to its other position to eliminate the unwanted sound. Automatic Recording Volume Level Control This unit has an Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuit which controls the recording volume level and prevents overloaded and distorted recordings. The VOLUME control has no effect on recording volume level. You may change the VOLUME control setting during the recording or even reduce the volume level to “Minimum”. This will not effect the level of the recording. 14 PD6537_ib011303.p65 14 13/1/2003, 14:48 STEREO HEADPHONE JACK Connect a set of stereo headphones (not included) with a 3.5mm mini plug to the PHONES jack (located at left side cabinet) for private listening without disturbing others. Before putting on the headphones reduce the VOLUME control to a low level, then put the headphones on and gradually increase the VOLUME control to a comfortable listening level. The built in speakers are automatically disconnected when headphones are connected to the headphone jack. 15 PD6537_ib011303.p65 15 13/1/2003, 14:48 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 themechanism. 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). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or 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 may be 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. HEAD CLEANING The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the STOP/EJECT key to open the cassette door, and press the PLAY key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

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 If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax, polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet. CAUTION Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning. 18 PD6537_ib011303.p65 18 13/1/2003, 14:48 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Should this unit exhibit a problem, check the following before seeking service.
