ON PROTECTION AGAINST LASER ENERGY EXPOSURE

Protect Your Furniture

This system is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However, certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.

To prevent any damage to your furniture, we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Dear Jensen® Customer

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For a Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

About Cassette Tapes

Whenever you record on a cassette, any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The Record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.

To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette, use a small screwdriver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key from locking.

Diagram shows a cassette tape with an arrow pointing to the erase prevention tab on side A, labeled 'TAB FOR SIDE A'. Another diagram shows the tab broken off, labeled 'BREAK OFF TO PREVENT RECORDING'. A third diagram shows the opening covered with tape, labeled 'COVER OPENING WITH TAPE IN ORDER TO RECORD AGAIN'.

Cassette Care

Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:

To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:

Head Cleaning

The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleaning. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Switch off the power, press the Stop/Eject key to open the cassette door, and press the Play key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

Diagrams labeled DECK A and DECK B show the locations of the erase head, record/play head, play head, capstan, and pinch roller.

1. Avoid operating your unit under direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.

2. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as fluorescent lamps or motors.

3. For better Clock Display clarity, avoid operating the unit under direct sunlight or in strong room illumination.
