1. Horizontal loading for stable travel

The horizontal loading mechanism used on the DRR­F101 is the ideal type of tray for the rotating parts, the
most important part of the cassette deck. Mounting
the deck mechanism horizontally lessens vibration of
the flywheel in the thrust direction and reduces
modulation noise.

2. Various editing and playback functions

• Auto reverse mechanism for recording and playing
for long periods of time.

• Auto tape selector for automatically identifying the
tape type.

• Music search for choosing selections up to 16
selections away in either direction.

3. Convenient system functions

The DRR-F101 is equipped for system functions
allowing easy CD synchronized recording, auto function
and auto power on operations when used in
combination with a DRA/DCD/DMD-F101 series. In
addition, the main operations of the system
components can be performed using the system
remote control unit (RC-927) included with the receiver
(DRA-F101).

Read the following before using the set.

• Before turning on the power

Check again that all connections are correct and that
there are no problems with the connection cords. Be
sure to unplug the power cord before connecting or
disconnecting the connection cords.

• Moving the set

To prevent short-circuits or damage to the connection
cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect
the connection cords between all other audio
components when moving the set.

• Condensation (dew)

Water droplets may condense on internal operation
parts if the set is brought into a heated room from the
cold outdoors or when the room is heated rapidly. If
this happens, the set may not operate properly.

• Should condensation occur:

The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at
which time the system will function normally.

• Store this instructions in safe place

After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place. Also fill in the items on the
back paper for your convenience.

IMPORTANT TO SAFETY

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Please, record and retain the Model name and serial
number of your set shown on the rating label.

Model No. DRR-F101 Serial No.

Thank you for purchasing this DENON cassette tape
deck. Please read the operation instructions thoroughly in
order to acquaint yourself with the cassette tape deck
and achieve maximum satisfaction from it.

CAUTION

1. Handle the power supply cord carefully

Do not damage or deform the power supply cord. If it
is damaged or deformed, it may cause electric shock
or malfunction when used. When removing from wall
outlet, be sure to remove by holding the plug
attachment and not by pulling the cord.

2. Do not open the top cover

In order to prevent electric shock, do not open the top
cover.
If problems occur, contact your DENON DEALER.

3. Do not place anything inside

Do not place metal objects or spill liquid inside this
unit.
Electric shock or malfunction may result.

The cassette tape deck uses a microcomputer for
controlling internal electronic circuits.
In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner
or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could
occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of
the TV. To avoid this, please take the following
precautions.

• Keep the cassette tape deck as far away from the tuner
or TV set as possible.

• Keep the power cable and connecting cable of the
cassette tape deck separate from the antenna wires of
the tuner and TV.

• Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor
antenna or a 300 Ω/ohms feeder cable is used. Thus,
use of an outdoor antenna and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cable
is strongly recommended.

✽ The DRR-F101 can also be used when connected to

a receiver other than the DRA-F101. In this case,
none of the system functions (auto power on, etc.)
will work.

✽ Some receivers are equipped for connections of

two or more cassette deck‘s, allowing tapes to be
copied. Read your receiver‘s operating instructions
carefully before using it.

Connecting to the D-F101 Series

2 When connecting to a receiver other than the one in the DRA-F101 there is no need to make connection 3. Note that

in this case none of the system functions (auto power on, etc.) will work.

• System operations such as the auto power on function
can only be used if stereo audio cords and system cords
are connected between all the system components. Be
sure to securely connect all the connection cords
between all the units.

• Disconnecting a system cord during system operation
may result in malfunction. Be sure to unplug the power
cords before changing the connections.

DRA-F101
(Receiver)

Plug into the open SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack of another
component. Any SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack is OK.

DRR-F101
(this unit)

Recommended System Installation

• To ensure performance and stability, install the D-F101
series as shown below.

• Do not place another component directly on top of the
receiver (DRA-F101).

• For stability, do not stack more than three components
on top of each other.

• To ensure stability, do not stack more than three units.

• Install the components in such a way that the ventilation
holes of the receiver (DRA-F101) are not obstructed.

• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do

not use them for hair driers, etc.

HANDLING CASSETTE TAPES AND CAUTIONS

• C-120 and C-150 tapes

C-120 and C-150 cassette tapes use extremely thin tape
that can easily get caught in the capstan or pinch roller.
Do not use such cassette tapes.

• Slack in the tape

The tape may get caught on the capstan and be
damaged if the tape is slack when the cassette is
loaded. Use a pencil, etc., to take up any slack in the
tape before loading the cassette.

• Cassette tapes are equipped with accidental erasure
prevention tabs. To protect recordings from being
erased accidentally, use a screwdriver, etc., to press on
the tabs and break them off.

• To record on a cassette tape whose tabs have been
broken off, cover the holes with cellophane tape, etc.

Cautions on Handling Cassette Tapes Accidental Erasure Prevention Tabs

Cleaning the Heads

Cautions on Storing Cassette Tapes

• Do not place cassette tapes in the following places:

1. Hot or humid places

2. Dusty places

3. Places exposed to direct sunlight

4.Places exposed to magnetic forces (near TVs,
speakers, etc.)

• Store cassette tapes in cases with stoppers to prevent

the tape from becoming slack.



Side A

Accidental erasure protection
tab for side B

Accidental erasure protection
tab for side A

A commercially available head cleaning cassette (wet
type) is required to clean the heads (recording/playback
and erasing) on this product.

• If the heads are dirty, sound cannot be recorded or
played with good quality.

• To take full advantage of this product‘s performance and
to achieve good sound quality, clean the heads
periodically after approximately 10 hours of use.

• We recommend using a wet type commercially
available head cleaning cassette that also cleans the
pinch roller and capstan.

Degaussing the Heads

• The heads become magnetized after extended use or
after being exposed to magnetized objects. This results
in noise or a loss of high frequencies.

• Use a commercially available cassette type head
degausser to demagnetize the heads.

NOTE:

• Set the amplifier‘s volume to the minimum when

cleaning and degaussing the heads.
