Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Maintenance
Cleaning the tape-handling parts
" 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.
" When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.
" After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions
carefully before use.
 
 
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
" Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
" Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
Remove all CDs from the unit. Your 
unit checks whether there are any 
discs inside the unit when the tray is 
closed. "NO DISC" appears if no 
disc is left. Then, set the unit to the 
power stand-by mode. Carrying the 
unit with discs left inside can dam-
age it.
