DEAR STUDEBAKER ® 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: OStart your volume control at a low setting.
OSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level: OSet the dial and leave
it there. 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.
Customer’s Record: The serial number of this product is found on its back
cover. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as
a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of
theft of loss.

settings are correct for the battery pack being charged. · Charge batteries on
a fireproof surface away from flammable items or liquids. · Batteries should
NEVER be left unattended while charging. Only adults should charge the
batteries. · Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for charging the product
and do not charge longer
than recommended. Unplug the charger when the battery is charged or not in
use. NOTE: These speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color

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 button 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 screw driver
or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This
prevents the record button form locking.
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab
opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the Record to
function again.
CASSETTE CARE Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes
are: 1) Tape Jamming Leading to uneven speed in playback, and 2) Tape
Tangling Where the tape wraps itself around ital parts of
the mechanism.
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following
precautions should be observed: · Check that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center window (see
Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled
ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2). ·
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig.2), the
tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible
through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast
winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again. · Use only
well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do
not touch the tape surfaces.

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 button to open the cassette door, and press the
Play button. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cloth
or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.
