unit may be used with a cabled mic or with the build-in microphone (42) if using the built-in mic, make sure the source to be r  
ecorded is no more than 2 feet from the microphone. This avoids a lower recording level and increased ambient noise.  
Note: Every new cassette tape has erase prevention tabs. Commercially prerecorded tapes have the tabs removed to

Care and Handling of Compact Disc:  
1. Handle the disc by its edges or center hole. To keep the disc clean, avoid touching the data surface.  
2. Data is embedded directly beneath the label, protected only by a thin lacquer and is more vulnerable to damage than the  
bottom. A scratch that penetrates the label will certainly destroy data, whereas a scratch on the bottom can often be  
overlooked or corrected by laser pickup.  
3. Do not write on the label surface. A ballpoint will damage data; marking pens have solvents that maypenetrate the top layer.  
4. Do not stick paper or tape on the label surface; this probably won’t hurt the disc but it might jam the disc the disc drive.

Other Features and Functions continued  
5. Do not expose a disc to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. The disc material will soften at  
around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the disc to reach room temperature before playing if it has been subjected  
to extreme cold.  
6. Preventive cleaning is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Clean only when required.  
7. Clean a disc with soft moistened cloth. Pat dry. Wipe the disc from the center out like spokes of a wheel. Never  
wipe across a disc as you would an LP record.  
8. Never use solvents, commercial cleaners or sprays designed for LP’s. Plain lukewarm water is best.  
9. Keep discs protected at all times.  
Cassette Maintenance & Service Cleaning  
1. The heads, capstan and pinch roller should be cleaned from time to time to prevent buildup of tape oxide,  
which degrades performance.  
2. Clean the head of all visible, reddish-brown oxide with a cotton-tipped swab moistened with a methyl  
alcohol or any solution specifically manufactured for this purpose.  
Caution: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or abrasive objects. This will permanently damage the heads.  
3. Clean the pinch roller by scrubbing the surface of the roller with the moistened swab. Rotate the roller by  
hand until the entire surface is clean.  
4. Clean external case surface with a moist, soft cloth. use only a mild detergent water solution.  
Head Demagnetization  
It is recommended that the tape heads be demagnetized from time to time. This eliminates residual magnetism which de-  
grades sound reproduction and the recording function.  
1. After cleaning the heads capstan, place the demagnetizer several feet away from the cassette unit  
and plug it into an AC outlet.  
2. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions supplied with the demagnetizer.

stores information, the Music Maker™ will occasionally stop spinning  
the CD (even though music will continue to be heard). This is to be  
expected until the memory is depleted and more information can  
be re-uploaded into the buffer.

Is FUNCTION Selector set to Radio?  
Is Band Selector set properly?  
Signal is unclear.
