WARNING
BEFORE TURNING ON POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
e Some models are designed for use only with the power
supply voltage of the region where they are sold.
e@ U.K. and Australian models:
AC 240V, 50Hz
@ European models (except U.K.)
AC 220V, 50Hz
oe U.S.A. and Canadian models:
AC 120V, 60Hz
e@ Worldwide models:
AC 120 and 220V
switchable, 50/60Hz
e Voltage selector (rear pane!)
Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to
conform with local power supplies. Be sure to set this
switch to match the power supply in your area before turn-
ing the power switch on. Voltage is changed by sliding
the groove in the switch with a screwdriver to the right or
left. Confirm that the switch has been moved all the way
to the right or left before turning the power switch on.
Models without a voltage selector can only be used in
areas where the power supply voltage is the same as that
of the unit.

Deck location
e Do not use or leave in direct sunlight or in other places sub-
ject to high temperature and humidity. The unit should
also not be left in potentially hot places such as near heat-
ing appliances. Excessive heat and moisture can lead to in-
ternal damage and serious malfunctions (this also applies
to cassette tapes). The recommended ambient tempera-
ture range is 5°C to 35°C.
e Avoid damp and dusty places and locations prone to vibra-
tions.
e Be extremely careful with the recording/playback heads.
Clean and demagnetize them regularly, but under no cir-
cumstances should magnets or other metals be used
anywhere near the heads.
@ This unit is extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, so do
not use near large speakers or other devices which
generate magnetic fields.
@ Hum may even be induced by magnetic flux leakage from
the power transformer in certain amplifiers. Therefore, this
unit should also be kept clear of the amplifier.
e@ Do not remove the cabinet case. if any of the internal parts
are handled, there is a considerable danger of electric
shock,
Cassettes to avoid:
e Cassettes with poorly formed cases that rattle during
rewind and fast forward.
e Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or pressure pad
spring should never be used for stereo.
e C-120 cassettes — because the tape and the coating are
extremely thin, distortion levels are high. Also, even a
slight stretching of the tape will make it susceptible to
being caught up in the pinch roller and capstan.
e Endless tapes, if used for a long period of time, can over-
heat.

ohm range are recommended.
Remote control jack
For remote control operation, connect this jack and any Onkyo
amplifier, receiver or CD player bearing the RI mark using the sup-

reverse play, fast-forward and rewind operations can be ac-
complished via remote control.) See the instruction manual of
