Dolby HX Pro

The Dolby HX Pro headroom extension system records high frequencies such as the cymbal sound clearly by controlling

the bias current during recording according to the frequency composition of the sound being recorded. This system is

activated automatically during recording with this unit.

Points for Recording from a CD or an MD

For recording from a CD or an MD, playback from

the music source and recording by the cassette deck

can be started simultaneously (synchro recording

function) when the cassette deck is set to record

pause status in advance.

1Pause the CD or MD to be played.

2Use the skip keys (4 ¢) to select the title

to be recorded. (Pause will be reached at the

beginning of the selected title.)

3Bring the cassette deck to recording pause

condition.

4Start playback of the CD or MD.

(Synchro recording will start.)

÷The recording is stopped when the stop key of the

playback unit is pressed.

.....The recording level is set automatically and stored in

memory as the recording level to be used with the

current input being selected. From the next time on,

this recording level is set automatically for that input

even if the key is not pressed.

To return to the basic level

.....Hold the key depressed until the indicator goes off

(for approx. 3 seconds).

÷The recording level setting completes in approx. 20

seconds, after which the deck enters the record-pause

mode.

÷If recording is started during the setting (while the CRLS

indicator is blinking), distorted sound may be recorded.

÷If a non-recorded space of more than 3 seconds is

detected after the CRLS key is pressed, the recording

level setting is aborted.

R-SG7

What is Pure A?

The amplifier section amplifies the voltage and current of the input signal from the CD etc. and sends the output to the

speakers. In order to suppress the distortion occurring with this amplification, amplifiers with class A operation or class AB

operation always have current flowing through the circuits for current amplification. This is called the idling circuit. Especially

an amplifier with class A operation has a high idling current in comparison to an amplifier with class AB operation, which

is used by many units. As the result, class A operation has distortion suppressed to a minimum, and smooth playback with

high quality is possible. However, as a certain amount of power is consumed even when no music source is played, the

temperature of the amplifier section will become comparatively high. Thus a high-class amplifier with a large-capacity

power supply is required to enjoy the sound quality of class A operation.

The amplifier of this unit normally operates in class AB operation, but as the high sound quality of class A operation can

be enjoyed easily, a class A operation mode for listening at low volume (pure A) has been provided. Please enjoy the pure

A sound quality when listening at low volume close to the set, late at night, etc.

Handling of discs and tapes

DIGITAL AUDIODIGITAL AUDIO

COMPACTCOMPACT

Label side

Playing side

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter be-

come attached to the disc, lightly

wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth

(or similar) from the center of the disc

outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for

a long period of time, remove it from

the player and store it in its case.

Handling

Hold the discs so that you do not

touch the playing surface.

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), and the audio part of CDV, CD-G and CD-

EXTRA.

Use discs that comply with the IEC standard, for example

a disc carrying the marking on the label surface.

Disc handling precautions

Disc accessories

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protec-

tion ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound

quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should

not be used with this system because they may cause

malfunction.

Do not attach paper or tape to ei-

ther the playing side or the label side

of the discs.

Sticker

Sticky paste

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.

Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed

disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.

Please do not use discs which are not round because they

may cause a malfunction.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the

mechanism of the unit.

To re-record

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the

safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being

erased or recorded on accidentally.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind

the reel hub to remove the slack.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to di-

rect sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep

the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

For A side

For B side

Notes on cassette tape

Apply tape only to the position

where the tab has been removed.

1.Longer tape than 100 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 100 minutes cassette

tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the

pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended

that these tapes not be used with this unit to

prevent possible damage.

Maintenance of the unit

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with

a soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol,

etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.

In regard to contact cleaner

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a

malfunction. Be specially careful not to use contact

cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic

component.

When your unit needs to be repaired, bring the entire

set (Speakers excluded) to your dealer.

Demagnetizing the head

When the recording / playback head is magnetized, the

sound quality will deteriorate. In such a case, demagnetize

the head using a commercially available demagnetizer

(head eraser).

Cleaning the head section

Cleaning the heads and peripheral components

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for

longer service life, always keep the heads (recording /

playback / erase), capstan and pinch roller clean.

For the cleaning, use a cleaning cassette available in audio

stores.
