USER MANUAL  
JTA-475  
PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS  
UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
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:

the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges  
and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA  
No.70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of  
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1.  
18. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are  
not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!  
This model 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.

CARE AND MAINTAINENCE  
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperatures.  
2. Do not tamper with the internal components of the unit.  
3. Clean the unit with a dry cloth. Solvents or detergents should never be used.  
4. Avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.  
5. Keep the unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as  
fluorescent lamps or motors.  
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 internal 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.  
15  
 
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape  
surfaces.  
COMPACT DISC CARE  
Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny,  
unprinted side of the disc.  
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers etc., to the disc label.  
Clean the disc periodically with soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive  
cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
If disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge of the  
disc. Never wipe in circular motions.  
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc  
outs, holding it carefully by the edges.  
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft  
cloth. Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and  
microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.  
CLEANING THE UNIT  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when  
cleaning.  
The finish on the unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture, Use  
caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish  
sprays on the cabinet.  
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft  
cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or  
polishes as these will damage the finish of your unit.  
CAUTION: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
