■■ Recording
■It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or
video recording, broadcast or cable programme and
in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work
embodied therein.
■When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set
reverse mode to . Recording automatically stops after
recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure
that the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with
reverse mode is on.
■The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not
affected by the VOLUME control on the system or by adjusting
the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the
sound you are actually listening to without affecting the
recording level.
■Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure
or recording.
■To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover
the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part
of the hole (type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.
■Type I and type II tapes can be used for recording.
Note:
At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which
cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the
leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive
noise or static, the system may have been too
close to a TV which was on during the recording.
Either turn off the TV or increase the distance
between the TV and the system.
You can record any sound source to tape.
The sources are disc, tuner, auxiliary equipment, microphone, and
guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can be mixed with
any source.
■

■■ Care and maintenance
Handle your discs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Compact discs
• Only discs bearing this mark can be used with
this system. However, continued use of
irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal,
etc.) can damage the system.
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or
bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc
when placing it back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
• A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a disc.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.
• Keep the disc compartment door closed when not in use.
Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the disc compartment door and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the
lens.
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a
cotton swab.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
system in the following cases:
• After turning on heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm place.
Should this occur, the system may malfunction.
In this case, leave the system turned on for a few
hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the
AC power cord, and then plug it in again.
Cassette tapes
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and
rotating.
• Do not touch the tape surface.
• Do not store the tape:
- In dusty places
- In direct sunlight or heat
- In moist areas
- On a TV or speaker
- Near a magnet
Cassette deck
• If the heads, capstans, or pinch-rollers of the cassette deck
become dirty, the following may occur:
- Loss of sound quality
- Discontinuous sound
-Fading
- Incomplete erasure
- Difficulty recording
• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab
moistened with alcohol.
• If the heads become magnetized, the system will produce noise or
lose high frequency notes.
• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the system, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
