EH02B-Ad
CAUTION

lowing precautions.
(1) Do not use cassette tapes longer
than C-90, otherwise sound
quality and tape durability will be
greatly diminished.
(2) Keep the cassette tape in its
case to protect from tape loose-
ness and dust when it is not
used.
(3) Keep the cassette tape away
from direct sunlight, heat and
magnetic fields such as the
radio speakers.
(4) Before inserting the cassette,
make sure that the label is
adhered securely to the cas-
sette.
CAUTION
(5) A loose tape should be cor-
rected before use.
(6) Do not oil any part of the player

other than tape cassettes into
the slot, or the tape player may
be damaged. Also, avoid insert-
ing your fingers into the slot.

mark shown in the illustration above.
(Playback of CD-R discs may cause
problems. CD-RW discs cannot be
played.)
The use of heart-shaped, octagonal, or
any other non-circular discs will result
in damage.
(2) When the temperature suddenly rises,
i.e. immediately after the heater is
turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of opera-
tion. In such a case, allow some time
before use.
(3) When the CD player is subjected to vio-
lent vibration as during off-road driv-
ing, detracking may result.

sunlight, or in any place where the tem-
perature or humidity is high.

face of the disc where there is no label.
Doing so will contaminate the disc sur-
face and might adversely affect the
sound quality. When handling a com-
pact disc, always hold it by grasping
the outer circumference and the cen-
tre hole.

cloth. Wipe directly from the centre hole
toward the outer-edge; do not wipe in
a circular pattern.

benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause a
malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen,
pencil, etc. to write on the label sur-
face of the disc, and do not attach any
other labels, seals, etc.
