■ Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and
disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before you finish
all connections.

■ Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come
near the cassette deck’s record/playback head assembly in this
unit. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror­smooth finish, it may change the magnetic characteristics of the
heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction performance
quality.

■ Although the cassette deck’s record/playback heads used in this
unit are high quality heads with outstanding reproduction
characteristics, they can become dirty through the use of old
tapes or from dust accumulation over time. This can have a
serious effect on reproduction quality. Clean the heads regularly
with one of the commonly available head cleaners or with
cleaning solutions.

■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this

ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY

E-3

The theory of the Active Servo Technology is based upon two
major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and negative­impedance drive. Active Servo Processing speakers
reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air woofer”,
which is a small port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet.
This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions
of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system.
Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can,
according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be output from
this opening as waves of great amplitude if the design is such
that the size of the opening and the volume of the cabinet are
in the correct proportion to satisfy a certain ratio.
In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within
the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power
because these amplitudes must overcome the “load”
presented by the air that exists within the cabinet.

Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the
employment of a design in which the amplifier functions to
supply the signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil
is reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit would
become linear with respect to signal voltage, and, to
accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive
amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is
used.
By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the amplifier
is able to generate precise, low-amplitude low-frequency
waves with superior damping characteristics, and these
waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as high­amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by employing
the negative-impedance output drive amplifier and a speaker
cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an extremely
wide range of frequencies (28 Hz – 20 kHz) with amazing
sound quality and less distortion.
The features described above, then, are combined to be the
fundamental structure of the Active Servo Technology.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however
mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the
disc surface.
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from
your CD collection and player.

•

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non­label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do
not mark this surface.

•

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and
excessive moisture.

•

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or
water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD
is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry
cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Dolby B and C Type Noise Reduction

With cassette tapes, the most noticeable form of noise is high
frequency hiss. To reduce this hiss noise, this unit has been
equipped with a newly developed Dolby C noise reduction
system in addition to its conventional Dolby B NR. Either type
of noise reduction may be selected with the switch provided.
Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in
the high frequency range. The corresponding figure with
Dolby C NR is about 20 dB, but this is over the entire range
where the human ear is most sensitive to noise (2 kHz to 8
kHz). Also, Dolby C NR has the same noise reduction effect
at both high and low signal levels. In addition, Dolby C NR
improves the tape’s MOL (Maximum Output Level).
Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on
recording and playback; be sure that the noise reduction
button is set to the same position on record and play.
* Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the

Dolby NR system.

USING EXTERNAL UNITS

E-35

Headphones

•

Be sure that your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8”)
diameter plug and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms
impedance. Recommended impedance is 32 ohms.

•

When headphones are connected, the speakers are
defeated automatically. Adjust the VOLUME control for
desired volume.

Internal care

•

Dirty heads, capstans and pinch rollers can cause poor
sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton
swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller
cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

•

After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may
become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise
these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time
by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the
demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.

External care

•

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and dilute
soap solution, then wipe with a dry cloth.

•

Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other
chemicals. (See “Precautions”.)
