Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the
most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage

or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We
Want You

LISTENING

For A Lifetime

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud
noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics
Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

INSTALLATION

When installing the deck, avoid locations with high

temperatures or humidity, and make sure that

the deck receives adequate ventilation.

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

rect sunlight, or near a space heater or other heat­ing device, as this may cause damage to the fin­ish or internal parts.

7

Malfunctions may also result if the deck is in­stalled in an excessively humid or dusty location.
Avoid installing the deck next to kitchen counters
or other locations subject to oily smoke or humid­ity.

7 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.

7 If the deck is located near a television 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.

7 Do not place a cloth over the deck, or block the

ventilation slots in any way. The ventilation slots
on this deck are necessary to keep internal parts
cool. If they are blocked, the deck may malfunc­tion.

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
a 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 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.

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 regularly demagnetized 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.

CLEANING THE FRONT PANEL

Clean the deck regularly 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 damage the
panel finish.

NOTE:

After cleaning the head section, do not load a tape until
the cleaning fluid has dried completely (about two or
three minutes).

CHECK CASSETTE 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.

Erasure prevention tabs

Sensor holes

B

TYPE IV (Metal) tape

AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTOR FUNCTION

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.

NOTES:

÷

When using TYPE IV (Metal) tapes, make sure that

the tapes have sensor holes.

÷

Make sure that the sensor holes on the cassette are

not blocked; otherwise the tape selector mechanism
will not function properly.

÷

Do not use TYPE III (FeCr) tapes.

TIPS ON CASSETTE TAPES

For erasure prevention remove

Tab for Side A

Tab for Side B

E

Sensor holes

TYPE II (High/CrO2) tape

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 rerecord 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 IV (Metal) or TYPE II (High/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:

÷

The accidental erasure prevention 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.

6

Do not use tapes longer than 90 minutes in length

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 irregular winding.

÷ Leader tape (which cannot be recorded on) is pro-

vided at the beginning of a cassette tape. Let the
tape run for about 5 seconds before starting to
record, to allow the leader tape to clear the record­ing head.

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

ronment. 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.

REVERSE MODE SWITCH (REV MODE)

There are three settings:

One way mode O 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 (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 stops 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

When the switch is set to this position for playback,
both sides of the tape are played back repeatedly
until the stop (7) 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.

RELAY PLAY/BLANK SKIP

If Deck I and II are loaded with tapes, each tape will
be played using relay palyback.

DOLBY NR

7 Dolby NR System

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.

NOTE:

When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby B-type
or C-type NR system, make sure that the DOLBY NR
switch is set to the same position during playback.

1. Load a tape for recording in Deck II.

2. Set the DOLBY NR switch.

3. Set the REV MODE switch.

÷ To record on one side only, set the switch to

the O position. To record on both sides, set
the switch to the [ position.

4. Press the recording (÷) button.

5. Prepare the audio source from which you wish
to record. Turn on the stereo amplifier and pre­pare it for playback of the desired audio source.

6. Adjust the recording level. For details, see “AD-

JUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL” below.

7. Press the playback (3 or 2) button or the pause

(8) button to begin recording.

÷ When recording on both sides, press the 3

button. If the 2 button is pressed , recording
will stop after only one side is recorded.

To stop recording temporarily

Press the pause (8) button.
÷ To resume recording, either press the pause (8)

button again, or press the playback (3 or 2) but­ton.

To Stop Recording

Press the stop (7) button.

Erasure prevention tabs

The recording (÷) button does not work when the
erasure prevention tabs of the loaded cassette tape
have been broken off (See page 6). Do not press the
recording (÷) button with unreasonable force. When
recording on both sides, make sure that both tabs
are intact.

ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL

The adjustment of the recording level is the most impor­tant factor in achieving good recording results. A high
level provides a good signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic
range, but an excessively high level distorts the sound. If
the level is set too low for fear of sound distortion, irritat­ing tape hiss will mar the recording. The characteristics of
tapes differ depending on the manufacturer and the type
of tape. Set the REC LEVEL control so that the level
meter’s “–3 dB” indicator lights steadily most of the time.
No harm will be done if the “0 dB” indicator lights mo­mentarily at peaks. When recording without Dolby NR,
set the REC LEVEL control so that the “–3 dB” indicator
lights, and the “0 dB” indicator lights occasionally at
peaks.

14

NOTES:

÷

The optimal recording level may differ somewhat de­pending on the audio source and type of tape used.
In order to obtain the best possible results, set the
recording level after actual testing. Listen to your re­cordings, and adjust the level as necessary.

÷

The level meter may react differently during record­ing and playback of the same tape. This is due to dif­ferences in tape sensitivity, and creates no problem.

RECORDING MUTE

Use this function to create the 4.5-second blanks
needed for proper operation of the music search
function.

÷ Press the recording mute (•) button during recording

and the deck will create a blank space by recording
a section which contains no signal for approximately
4,5 seconds. The deck will then enter recording
standby mode.

÷ To create a blank which is more than 4,5 seconds

long, hold the button down for the desired length of
time. When the button is released, the deck will
enter recording standby mode.

÷ To resume recording, press the pause (8) button or

the playback (3 or 2) button.

ERASING A TAPE

NOTES:

÷

The tape in DECK lI will be copied in the same

type of DOLBY NR (B/C) as DECK l’s tape, regard­less of its own setting. When listening to the cop­ied tape, set the DOLBY NR (B/C) to the type
used for recording.

÷

If a nearby television set is on while high-speed copy-

ing is being performed, a high-pitched interference
sound may be heard on the tape. In this case, either
use the normal speed copying function, or turn off
the television.

÷

During high-speed copying, none of the operation

buttons will function except for the stop (7) button.

÷

During normal speed copying, the recording mute (•)

and pause (8)buttons of deck II also function.

÷

Tape copying is cancelled when either of the two

tapes reaches the end. Therefore it is advisable to
use tapes of the same length.

÷

The sound quality of the copied tape will be some-

what less than the original. Therefore when making
more than one copy, always record from the original
tape (do not make a copy of a copy).

÷

The recording level adjustment is not necessary dur-

ing tape copying.
