CASSETTE OPERATION

NOTE: All of the tape buttons (except the CASSETTE PAUSE button and CASSETTE STOP/

EJECT button) operate in the same fashion. To activate a feature, you press the button all the way down so that it stays in its depressed position when you release it. To deactivate the feature, press CASSETTE STOP/EJECT button.

FAST FORWARD AND REWIND

For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the CASSETTE FAST FORWARD button or CASSETTE REWIND button.

PAUSE

The CASSETTE PAUSE button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running while the PAUSE button is depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.

AUTOMATIC STOP

This set has a built-in automatic stop feature and the tape mechanism will stop playing or recording and shut itself off when it has reached the end of the tape.

MANUAL STOP

The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette STOP/EJECT button.

CASSETTES

CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION

The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on the performance of this set. Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.

Use only well-known brands of tapes.



Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme



thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures. This set is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure



to use name brand normal cassette tapes. You may use the above (special) tapes, but the best sound quality is from normal bias tapes.

CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING

Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For more information on these tabs, see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST ERASURE on page 15.

IB-CD1492(AD)-WM-E-031402

IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES

1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used, the sound during playback may become muffled or, in extreme cases, almost inaudible. This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a deposit of oxide and other dirt on the tape heads. The easiest way to solve this problem is by using a head-cleaning cassette. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully. The tape head is a delicate precision component and serious damage will result if you attempt to scrape dirt away with a sharp tool.

2. Other common causes of trouble are:

(a)Tapes jamming - leading to uneven speed during playback. (b)Tapes tangling - where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the

mechanism.

To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the following precautions:

(1)Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center

window (see FIG. 1). Tighten these loose layers of tape using a pencil before inserting the cassette into the set (see FIG. 2).

(2)If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation as shown in FIG. 2, the

tape may be jamming due to ridges in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding the cassette from one end to the other and back again, or the tape may be permanently damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this may cause your set to break.

FIG. 1

FIG. 2

NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE TAPES

1. Do not put a cassette near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.

2. Do not store cassette for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.

CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS

We suggest using a special cleaning tape cassette (not included) (available in most music and Hi-Fi stores). But if you do not have one, you may follow the instructions below.

COTTON SWAB

ERASE HEAD RECORD/PLAYBACK HEAD

When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled, distorted or reduced sound during playback and may even result in tape jams.

Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.

HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SET

AM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite

station by rotating the set a small amount.

FM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite station by collapsing the telescoping antenna a small amount, rotating or extending it to the full length.

RECORD BUTTON - If you find that you cannot press this button down, check the Record Interlock defeat tabs on the cassette (see page 15), or the tape may be at the end, rewind the tape or reverse it.

TAPE HEADS - The tape heads should be cleaned periodically with a special cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi stores) to remove the particles of brown oxide coating from the tapes that collected on these heads. These particles fill the gap in the heads and degrade performance.
