[. . . ] q Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Caution: q Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc. ). q If the memory batteries are not inserted and the power is disconnected, the tuner's preset memories will be erased. Battery replacement: q Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible. q Replace the memory batteries approximately once a year. s Care of compact discs Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player. q Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. q Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius. s Condensation Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc. ). 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). Warning: CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly. s Cassette tape q For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best sound. (Metal or CrO2 tape is not recommended. ) For recording, use only normal tape. q Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels, or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions. q Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil. q Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corresponding side from being erased. [. . . ] The recommended impedance is 32 ohms. 7 QT-CD131H(SUK) TINSE0007SJZZ <P=002> Recording from the CD 1 Set the FUNCTION switch to CD. 2 Load a blank cassette into the cassette compartment. 3 P ress the RECORD button. 4 Press the PLAY/REPEAT button on the CD.
