INSTALLATION

When installing the daek. avoid locations With high

temperatures or humidity, and maim sum that

the deck receives adequate ventihttlon.

•Do not install the deck in locations subject to di-

rect sunlight, or near a space heater or other heat-

ing device, as this may cause damage to the fin-

Ish or internsl parts.

•Malfunctions may also result if the deck is in-

stalled in an excessively humid or dusty location.

Avoid installing the deck next to kitchen counters

or other locations subJect to oily smoke or humid-

_y.

•If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier,

it may pick up humming or other noise, Also, if

the amplifier generates a large amount of heat,

the deck may malfunction.

•If the deck is located near a televisiou set, it may

pick up inter ference noise, which will be recorded

as a whistling sound on the tape. If this happens,

move the deck further away from the television

set or turn the television set off when operating

the deck,

• Do not place e cloth over the deck, or block the

ventilation slots in eny way. The ventilation slots

on this deck are necessary to keep Internal parts

cool. If they are blocked, the deck may malfunc-

tion.

CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH I

ROLLERS AND CAPSTANS I

The heeds, pinch milers and ©apstans are likely to

get dirty quite easily. If these parts, particularly the

heads, get dirty, the high frequency components of

a recording will not he reproduced and the stare,:

balance will he impaired, resulting in a deterioration

oil the playt:mck sound. Ris thereforerecon_needed

that the head section be cheaned regularly.

1. Set the POWER switch to OFF.

2. Press the eject button to open the cassette door.

3. Dip a cleaning swab in cleaning fluid and use it to

wipe the heads, capstans and pinch rollers.

NOT_

After cleaning the head s_tion, do not load a rape unUI

the cleaning fluid has dried completely (about two or

three minutes),

DEMAGNETIZING THE HEADS

After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the

heeds will become magnetized. The same effect will

occur if a magnetized screwdriver, magnet or other

magnetized object is brought too close to the

heads. When the heads become magnetized, high-

frequency sounds will be lost during recording or

playback, and Interference noise may also occur. The

heads should be regularly demegnetlzed with a head

demagnetizer, which can be purchased at most

audio stores.

When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the

POWER switch of the cassette deck is set to ON.

However, be sure to turn down the amplifier's

volume control to Its lower position, and disconnect

any headphones from their headphones Jack. For

detailed Instructions, refer to the operating

instructions of the head demagnetizer.

LCLEANING THE FRONT PANEL

Clean the deck regularly with • soft cloth. If the front

panel becomes soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a

weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to

six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe the

panel clean. Never use volatile cleaners like thinners,

benzine or alcohol because they will damage the

panel finish.

J CHECK CASSETTE BEFORE USE I

Check the following items before loading a cassette

tape:

Is the tepe loose, or Is some of the tepe outaide thl

cassette?

If some of the tape Is loose or projecting outside the

cassette shell, the tape may not load properly be.

tween the capstan and pinch miler. This will prevent

the tape from operating properly, and may even

damage the tape itself. To prevent this, insert a pen-

cil into the reel hole and take up the slack (Fig. A).

Some cassette tapes come with a plastic or thick pa-

Wstt)pper _o prevent the tape from becoming slack.

Remove this stopper when loading the cassette and

replace it after using the cassette.

Are the ac,¢idental erasure prevention tabs

intact?

These tabs allow you to prevent important record-

ings from being erased accidentally. When the tab

on the cassette shell is broken off (Fig. 13),it is not

possible to activate the recording function, so valu-

able recordings will not be erased by mistake.

To rerecord on a cassette whose tab has been bro-

ken off, simply stick a piece of doubled adhesive tape

over the hole (Fig. C).

When using TYPE IV (Metal) or TYPE II (Hlgh/CrO2)

tapes, be careful not to block the sensor holes with

the tape (Fig. D, Fig. E). If the holes are blocked, the

automatic tape selector mechanism will not operate

correctly.

NOTES:

J AUTOMA11CTAPESELECTORFUNCTION J

This cassette deck is equipped with an automatic

tape selector function which utilizes the sensor holes

on the tape cassette to determine the type of tape

being used. The deck Is then set to match the tape

recording bias and equalization,

•When using TYPE IV (MetaQ tapes, make sure that

the tapes have sanso[ holes.

•Donotuse TYPEIIl(FeCr)tapes.

TIPS ON CASSETTE TAPES I

Do not use te Io than 90 minotes In

Because over the C.90 tapes are very thin, they

can easily.Jam in the pinch rollers and capstan,

and they often are subject to other problems such

as rregular w nd ng.

•Leader tape (which cannot he recorded on) is pro-

vided atthe beginning of a cassette tape. Let the

tape run for about 5 seconds before starting to

record, to allow the leader tape to dear _e record.

ing head.

• Do not leave a cassette tape exposed to the envi-

ronment. Store the cassette in its case affer use

so that dust and dirt do not adhere to the tape,

and so the tape will not get slack. Store tapes in a

location free from magnetism, dust. dirt, oil, beat

and humidity.

•If cassette tapes are irregularly wound, the tape

may get jammed in the rollers. This can cause

damage to both the tape end ttm deck, If you are

not certain whether the tape is wound evenly, fast

forward or rewind the tape from beginning to

end, to make sure that the tape is properly

wound.

[ REVERSE MODE SWITCH (REV MOOE) J

There are three settings:

One way mode _" position

When the switch Is set to this position, playback or

recording is performed on one side of the tape only.

When the tape reaches the end of the side, it stops

automatically (auto stop function).

Two way mode = position

When the switch is set to this position, playback or

recording can be performed on both sides of the

tape. When the tape reaches the end of the first (for.

ward) side, Its direction is automatically reversed,

and playback or recording continues on the other (re-

verse) side. When it reaches the end of the reverse

side, the tape stops automatically (auto stop func-

tion). If playback or recording is started from the re-

verse side, the tape will stop when it reaches the end

of that side.

Repeat mode C'.._ position

When the switch is set to this position for playback,

both sides of the tape are played back repeatedly

until the stop (I) button is pressed, or until the tape

has been replayed 15 times (32 sides playback). If the

pause button is pressed to pause the tape, and then

playback is restarted, the repeat mode starts over

from the beginning, and will play the tape 15 times

(32 sides playback).

When the switch is set to this position for recording,

both sides are recorded and then the tape stops, as

described above for the two way mode.

DOLBY NR

•Dolby NR System

Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the

amount of tape hiss, mainly in the treble compo-

nents. During recording, the highpltched pianissimo

sounds which are most characteristic of audible

noise are boosted, and during playback, only these

boosted sections are attenuated, so that tape sound

Is returned to normal. As a result, the noise is atZenu-

ated by an amount equal to the boosting in the treble

range. The Dolby B-type NR system reduces noise in

the treble range, cutting tape hiss and expanding the

dynamic range. The Dolby C-type NR system is even

more effective in reducing noise, as it reduces noise

from the mid-range on.

NOTE:

When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby B.O,pe

or C-type NR system, make sure that the DOLBY /dR

switch is set to the same position during/da2back,
