THE HEADS
]
After using the cassette deck for a period of time, the heads 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,
highfrequency sounds will be lost during recording or playback, and
interference noise may also occur. The heads should be regulady demagnetized with a head demagnetizer, which can be purchased at
most audio stores.
Pinch roller
Rec/play head
Pinch roller
CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND
CAPSTANS
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans are likely to get dirty quite
easily. If these parts, particularly the heads, get dirty, the high frequency components of e recording will not be reproduced and the
stereo balance will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration of the
playback sound. It is therefore recommended that the head section
be cleaned regularly.
1. Set the STANDBY/ON
DEMAGNETIZING
switch to STANDBY.
When demagnetizing the heads, make sure that the STANDBY/ON
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.
CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL
I
Clean the deck regutarly with a 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 demege the panel finish.
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.

TIPS ON CASSE'I-FE TAPES
•
•
•
I
Leader tape (which cannot be recorded on) is provided at the beginning of a cassette tape. Let the tape run for about 5 seconds
before starling to record, to allow the leader tape to clear the recording head.
Do not leave a cassette tape exposed to the environment, Store
the cassette in its case after 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, heat and humidity.
If cassette tapes are irregularly wound, the tape may get jammed
in the rollers. This can cause damage to both the tape and the
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.
CHECK CASSETrE BEFORE USE
Check the following items before loading a cassette tape:
Is the tape loose, or is some of the tape outside the cassette?
if some of the tape is loose or projecting outside the cassette shell,
the tape may not load properly between the capstan and pinch roller.
This will prevent the tape from operating properly, and may even
damage the tape itself. To prevent this, insert a pencil into the reel
hole and take up the slack (Fig. A).
Some cassette tapes come with a plastic or thick paper stopper to
prevent the tape from becoming slack, Remove this stopper when
loading the cassette and replace it after using the cassette.
4
Are the accidental
erasure prevention
tabs intact?
These tabs allow you to prevent important recordings from being
erased accidentally. When the tab on the cassette shell is broken off
(Fig. B), it is not possible to activate the recording function, so valuable recordings will not be erased by mistake.
To rereeord on a cassette whose tab has been broken off, simply
stick a piece of doubled adhesive tape over the hole (Fig. C).
When using TYPE [V (Metal) or TYPE I1 (High/CrO2) tapes, be care*
ful 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:
•
The accidental erasure tab for each side is the one located on the
•
top left when the side that you want to protect is facing you.
When breaking off the tab, do not use a magnetized screwdriver.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are
wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock, Do not place
the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord, Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords, The
power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be
stepped on, A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electrical shock, Check the power cord once in a while, When you
find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

DigitaI-NR
The DigitaI-NR is a noise reduction system developed originally by
PIONEER. It is an innovative system capable of reducing almost all
hiss noise regardless of how the tape being played was recorded.
*(This system can reduce noise based on operations during playback
only.)
When a tape is played by selecting Dolby NR, the Dolby NR circuit
reduces hiss noise then the DigitaI-NR circuit eliminates residual hiss
noise remaining after the Dolby processing, thereby achieving a very
•
high S/N.
Though this system has been set so that it is activated every time a
tape is played, it is also possible to cancel its operation by the procedure described below.
• Sufficient NR effect may not be obtained in case the level of
noise recorded in the tape is higher than the hiss noise level.
To cancel the DigitaI-NR, press the DECK 1 TIME/COUNT
button and
•
DECK II TIME/COUNT button simultaneously while the power is
ON. (The DIGITAL indicator on the center of the front panel should
turn off,)
To activate the DigitaI-NR again, perform the same operation as
above again. The DigitaI-NR cannot be turned ON/OFF in recordpause mode. Also note that the DigitaI-NR is always ON in the initial
condition after turning the power from OFF to ON.

DIGITAL FLEX SYSTEM (Except for U.S. model

DIGITAL FLEX system: DIGITAL Frequency Level ,_.,_ander system.
(hereafter abbreviated to FLEX system)
This system automatically compensates high and low frequency
level balance above 1 kHz according to the 1/f curve during playback.
Generally, the envelope line of sound energy distribution of Hi-Fi
sounds corresponds statistically with the 1/f curve.
The 1/f curve indicates that if the frequency doubles, the leve decreases by approx. Half of the original frequency level
During playback, the FLEX system automatically compensates
tapes with poor sound quality at high frequency levels of 1 kHz
and over, based on the appropriate auditory characteristics.
The FLEX system is designed to improve high frequency reproduction in thelO kHz range be up to about 10 dB (max.), particularly in tapes with peer sound cladty and sound presence at high
frequency levels, If the playback tape sound matches the 1/f
curve, the FLEX system defeats compensation adjustment automatically.
When you press the FLEX button to turn the FLEX system on and

Compensation adjustment takes within approximately 3-5 seconds to complete, depending on the music source. The indicator
changes from a flashing to a steadily lit condition when the adjustment is completed.
When the FLEX system is engaged, each music selection is automatically adjusted during playback. System operation status is
indicated by the FLEX indicators (flashing or steadily lit.)

With commercially available cassette tapes, sensitivity and frequency characteristics
might differ slightly from one another,
even though the same sound adjustment is set for them.
To utilize tape characteristics to the maximum possible and realize an ideal recording which reproduces the source exactly, optimum recording level (sensitivity) and equalizer values must be set
accordingly for each tape. In many conventional tape decks, standard values are fixed for standard tapes, thus nullifying the subtle
differences
between
individual tapes. Perfect tuning by ear
through use of fine adjustment controllers for bias and sensitivity
is difficult and requires a lot of effort. It is especially difficult with
a 2-head deck where the recording sound cannot be monitored,
The AUTO BLE on this unit automatically adjusts bias, level and
equalizer by using a microprocessor to set the optimum recording
characteristics accordingly for each tape.
AUTO BLE XD (XD: eXtended Dynamic range)
This function enables recording with expanded dynamic range in
the high range by combining our unique bias control technology
with conventional AUTO BLE.
After adjusting the above bias, level, and equalization (BLE), this
system checks the tape's recording capability by using relatively
high level high-range test signals. During recording, AUTO BLE
XD controls the bias to maximize the tape's recording capability.
This makes possible a more faithful recording of sources having a
wide dynamic range in the high range.
You can switch between AUTO BLE and AUTO BLE XD. Refer to
page 13 for the switching procedure.
Since this system controls the quality of recording itself, the clarity of the sound will be maintained even when the tapes are
played back on another cassette deck.
DIGITAL TDNS SYSTEM
DIGITAL TDNS system: Iape Duplication Noise Supresser system
(hereafter abbreviated to TDNS)
Ordinary tape copy contains much noise due to the hiss noise of the
copy source master tape and the noise due to tape recording bias,
The TDNS is a system which allows to copy tape by reducing the
noise. It reduces the hiss noise in the master tape by applying OigitaI-NR processing and the bias noise by decreasing the recording
bias amount while the played music signal is in the no-signal condition. (As s result, the noise in the middle of music is equivalent to the
master tape and the noise between music can be reduced,)
• The TDNS copy may not be effective with a master tape in which
the noise between music and music signal are hardly distinguishable. In such a case, use the normal-speed or high-speed copy
function,

REVERSE MODE (REV MODE)
[
DOLBY NR & DOLBY HX PRO
There are three settings:
•
Dolby
One way mode 7- position
When this mode is selected by pressing the REV MODE button,
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),
Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the amount of tape hiss,
mainly in the treble components. During recording, the highpitched
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 attenuated 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.
Two way mode _
position
When this mode is selected by pressing the REV MODE button,
playback or recording can be performed on both sides of the tape.
When the tape reaches the end of the first (forward) side, its direction is automatically reversed, and playback or recording continues
on the other (reverse) side, When it reaches the end of the reverse
side, the tape steps automatically (auto stop function), If playback or
recording is started from the reverse side, the tape will stop when it
reaches the end of that side,
Repeat
mode
_._ position
(RELAYPLAY)
[If a tape is loaded in either DECK I or [l]
Both sides of a tape are played back repeatedly using the auto reverse system. When 16 sides of the tape have been played back the
deck stops automatically.
Recording will be performed in the same manner as the two way
mode.
[If both DECK I and II are loaded with tapes]
Relay play will be used for playback (See page 12).
NR Systems
NOTE:
When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby B-type or C-type NR
system, the same DOLBY NR system selected for recording must
be selected for playback.
•
Dolby
HX PRO Headroom
Extension
System
The DOLBY HX PRO system controls the bias current during recording and maintains it at the optimal level based on the amount of the
high-frequency components in the music signal. It therefore provides
excellent recording quality even when recording signals from digital
sources, which contain a large amount of high-frequency
components. To guarantee optimal results, the HX PRO system is activated
automatically when recording begins. Since this system controls the
quality of recording itself, the clarity of the sound will be maintained
even when the tapes are played back on another cassette deck
which does not contain the HXPRO Headroom Extension System,
