recording, use NORMAL cassettes (IEC I) on which
the tabs have not been broken. To protect a tape from
accidental erasure, have the tape in front of you and
break out the left tab.

piece of adhesive tape.
CARE AND CLEANING
After Using The Player
• Switch the FUNCTION SWITCH to TAPE (OFF).
• Switch the unit off at the mains and unplug it for
greater safety.
Care And Cleaning
All care and cleaning operations should be carried
out with the unit unplugged from the mains power.
The surface of the unit can be cleaned with a barely
damp cloth and then dried carefully. Never use
abrasives, abrasive cloths or chemical solvents.
Do not
clean the inside of the CD player with a cloth.
Lightly blow out any dust.
If your CDs don’t play properly, this is likely to be
caused by surface damage or dirt on the CD. If the
CD lens gets dirty, use a proprietary lens cleaner and
follow the instructions carefully. If you keep the CD
door closed at all times when the unit is not in use, the
lens is extremely unlikely to get dirty.
Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can
cause condensation to form on the lens of your CD
player. Playing a CD is then not possible. Do not
attempt to clean the lens but leave the set in a warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.
Clean the cassette player heads at regular intervals
and before recording with a good quality proprietary
head cleaning kit or head cleaning tape. If your
recordings sound dull, this could be an indication
that the tape recording heads need cleaning. If, after
cleaning, the recordings still sound dull, use a de-
magnetiser obtainable from Radio and TV accessory
stores and follow the instructions carefully.
CD AND CASSETTE TOPICS
CD Topics
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may skip or cause
noise. Discs should be stored in their cases after use
to avoid scratches.
Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep discs
clean, do not touch the surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity,
high temperature, dust, etc.
Do not stick or write anything on the disc. Sharp
writing instruments or the inks used in some felt tip
pens may damage its surface.
