IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

15 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the

mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-

tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable

system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,

or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be

fatal.

Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the op-

erating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this

indicates a need for service.

Maintenance

 Cleaning the tape-handling parts

z Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with

commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

z When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which

contains high voltages.

z After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-

netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once

every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial

tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions

carefully before use.

 Cleaning the CD pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative

maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per-

formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-

tact your local CD software dealer for options.

 Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap

solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

z Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet ﬁnish.

z Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-

tions.
