Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user's right to operate the equipment.
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Only multi-voltage models are provided with this switch. U.S.,
U.K., and Australian models are not provided with this switch.
Main voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never
use this model with 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia.
Check that it is set properly before plugging the power cord into the
wall outlet.
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 fre
quency 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 STANDBY.
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.
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Use a screwdriver with a tip
that fits neatly in the groove.
3. Insert the screwdriver into
the groove on the voltage
selector and adjust accord
ing to the voltage value of
your area.
NOTE:
After cleaning the head section, do not load a tape until 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 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 de
magnetized with a head demagnetizes 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 discon
nect any headphones from their headphones jack. For detailed in
structions, 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 alco
hol because they will damege the panel finish.
<RRB1170>
En
When installing the deck, avoid locations with high tem
peratures or humidity, and make sure that the deck re
ceives adequate ventilation.
H Do not install the deck in locations subject to direct sunlight, or
near a space heater or other heating device, as this may cause
damage to the finish or internal parts,
■ Malfunctions may also result if the deck is installed in an exces
sively humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck next to
kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily smoke or hu
midity.
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 television set, it may pick up interfer
ence noise, which will be recorded as a whistling sound on the
tape. If this happens, move the deck further away from the tele
vision set or turn the television set off when operating the deck.
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.
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.
TIPS ON CASSETTE TAPES
Leader tape (which cannot be recorded on) is provided at the be
ginning of a cassette tape. Let the tape run for about 5 seconds
before starting to record, to allow the leader tape to clear the re
cording 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 ad
here 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.
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 valu
able 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/Cr02) 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 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.
CHECK CASSETTE BEFORE USE
AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTOR FUNCTION
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.

En
This cassette deck is equipped with an automatic tape selector func
tion which utilizes the sensor holes on the tape cassette to deter
mine 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.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tug
ging 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 cen
ter or your dealer for a replacement.
