Installation
Unpacking
Unpack
your
unit
carefully.
Be
sure
to
remove
the
accessories.
After
unpacking,
inspect
the
unit
carefully
for
signs
of
damage.
If
damage
is
found,
contact
your
authorized
Kyocera
dealer
at
once.
Do
not
throw
away
the
carton
or
associated
packing
materials.
They
are
ideal
for
moving,
and
in
the
event
that
servicing
is
needed,
will
be
required
for
shipment.
Installation
Installation
of
your
tape
deck
is
not
complicated;
however,
following
the
guidelines
below
will
help
to
assure
you
of
safe
and
satisfactory
performance
for
many
years.
e
Do
not
remove
the
cover
of
the
unit
as
there
are
no
user-serviceable
parts
inside.
e
Do
not
expose
the
deck
to
excessive
dust,
moisture
or
direct
sources
of
heat.
e
if
mounted
where
ventilation
may
be
restricted,
care
must
be
taken
to
provide
a
minimum
opening
of
50
square
inches
for
free
air
movement.
e
Clean
by
wiping
with
a
soft
cloth
moistened
with
household
window
cleaner.
Do
not
use
volatile
cleaning
or
thinning
chemicals
such
as
acetone
or
gasoline
(petrol)
as
they
may
damage
the
finish.
e
To
ensure
maximum
performance
and
life
expectancy
from
this
tape
deck,
while
at
the
same
time
understanding
the
potential
hazards
involved
with
its
use
in
association
with
other
components
in
the
system,
read
the
Safety
Instructions
leaflet
supplied
with
the
unit.
AC
power
requirement
The
operating
voltage
of
the
unit
must
be
the
same
as
the
voltage
of
your
power
source.
In
the
U.S.A.,
this
is
120V,
60Hz
AC(Actual
voltage
may
vary
from
as
high
as
125V
to
as
low
as
90V
during
peak
power
usage
periods).
Check the rear of the unit to insure that it will operate
properly
on
your
power
source.
If
the
label
indicates
voltages not appropriate for your area, or if you are not
sure, contact your authorized Kyocera dealer.
Precautions
Do not place the tape deck above or directly in the
heated airflow of large heat productive equipment. Ex-
cessive heat will change the characteristics of sensitive
parts, and, in extreme conditions, actually reduce the
reliability of the tape deck.
The record and/or playback heads are very sensitive
to
magnetic
fields.
Do
not
place
electrical
equipment
with
large
power
transformers
directly
on
top
of
the
deck
If
there
is
a
constant
hum
noise
from
your
loudspeaker
during
playback,
check
to
see
if
moving
other
components
away from the tape deck reduces the hum noise.

Connections
The
AC
power
cord
should
not
be
plugged
into
the
wall
socket
before
making
any
connections.
(Also
turn
off
the deck’s power whenever you connect or disconnect the
audio cables to the tape deck.)

Note on tape selection
Choosing
a
high
quality
tape
is
extremely
important.
A
sophisticated
cassette deck, like your D-811 cannot be
expected to deliver superior performance
with an inferior
tape. The various brands of tape on the market vary not
only
in
the
consistency
and
quality
of
the
tape
coating
but
also
in
the
degree
of
mechanical
perfection
as
well.
The
performance
of
an
otherwise
excellent
tape
marred
by
a
poor
housing,
can
result
in
skewing
and
other
uneven
tape
travel characteristics.
e METAL
Metal tapes require very high bias and 70 uS egulization.
The tape deck is properly designed for these tapes which
result in extremly low background noise characteristics
and excellent high frequency response.
e CrO2
Some premium tapes need higher bias levels and 70uS
equalization to deliver the excellent performance expected
from them. “Chrome, high-bias” tape should be recorded
and played back with the CrO: button depressed.

level
adjustment
Setting
the

level
is
one
of
the
important
factors
of
recording.
The
REC
level
control
should
be
adjusted
so
that
the
illumination
of
the
PEAK

indicators
remains
mainly
in
the
green
portion
during
the
majority
of

Brief
excursions
into

will
be
inaudible
but
if
the
level
is
too
high
and
the

always
lights
up,
the
recorded
sound
will
be
distorted.
Recordings
at
too
low
level
on
the
other
hand,
will
result
in
having
to
turn
up
the
playback
volume
of
your
amplifier
to
a
higher
level,
revealing
more
of
the
back-
ground
hiss.
In
conclusion,
the
closer
you
can
record
to
OdB
point,
the
better
the
recorded
quality.
Do

in
the
tape
when
in

The
capability
of
APMR
of
creating
unrecorded

is
a
real
advantage.
For
instance,
you
may
wish
to

for
the

These
blank

can
be
easily
created
using
the
APMR
button.
During

when
you
want
the
erased

to
begin,
just
press
the
APMR
button.
Now
the
LED
for

turns

off
and
the
tape
continues
to

but
it
is

for
4
seconds.

When

the
next

just
press

Erasure
A

will
automatically
erase
when
you
make
a
new

on
it.
Alternatively,
it
can
be erased
completely
by recording

the
REC

set

Punch-in recording
During playback, you can go from playback mode to

About
the
Dolby
NR
B-type
and
C-type
Your cassette deck is equipped with both Dolby C-
type and B-type noise reduction. The Dolby C-type NR
system provides noise reduction beginning at 100Hz and
rising
to
20dB
at
1kHz
and
above.
The
standard
Dolby
B-type NR system, used in virtually every high-performance
tape
deck
for
the
past
several
years,
provides
noise
reduc-
tion
beginning
at
about
50Hz,
rising
to
10dB
at
4kHz
and
above.
With
Dolby
C-type
NR
and
a
good
tape
formulation,
tape
noise
is
below
that
of
just
about
any
program
material
you
might
record,
including
music
with very
wide
dynamic
range.
Standard
Dolby
B-type
NR
will
allow
you
to
play
cassettes
previously
recorded
with
it,
and
to
make
cas-
settes
you
know
will
be
played
primarily
on
machines
equipped
with
only
with
Dolby
B-type
NR.
Dolby
C-type
NR
achieves
more
noise
reduction
than
Dolby
B-type
by
boosting
low-level
higher
frequencies,
and
lowering
them
again
on
playback,
by
a
greater
a-
mount
than
Dolby
B-type.
Suggestions

oc-
casionally
on

Switch
the

filter
switch

whenever

an
FM

with
either
noise
reduc-
tion
system.
This
filter,
which
provides
virtually
flat

at
15kHz
but
rolls
off
sharply
above
16kHz,
will
prevent
inaudible

from
reaching
the

circuits
and
causing
insufficient
noise

action.
About the HX PRO headroom
extension system
In a conventional system, as the bias current level is
fixed, sometimes the bias current level is too high for the
high
frequency
range,
even
if
the
level
is
optimum
for
the
low
frequency
range,
and
thus
the
frequency
response
of
the
high
frequency
range
becomes
poor.
The
HX
PRO
system
solves
this
dilemma
by
controlling
the
bias
current
level
to
the
optimum
point
according
to
the
level
and
frequency
spectrum
of
the
music
signal.
Thus
HX
PRO
can
improve
the
dynamic
range
and
distor-
tion
over
the
entire
audio
frequency
range.
e
HX
PRO
system
works
in
the
recording
mode
only.
When
you
playback
a
tape
recorded
with
the
HX
PRO
system,
you
can
enjoy
its
dynamic
sound
quality
even
with
other
tape
decks.

Maintenance
Note:
Please
note
that
the
cassette
compartment
door
when
open
has
been
designed
to
allow
adequate
access
to
the
tape
mechanism
for
easy
cleaning
of
the
tape
heads
and
capstan,
therefore
there
is
no
need
to
remove
the
door
for
this
purpose
as
it
would
result
in
damage
to
the
door
securing
devices.
The
capstan
and
heads
(see
illustration)
on
your
tape
deck
should
be
cleaned
after
every
10
to
20
hours
of
use
to
prevent
the
build-up
of
dirt
and
oxides
from
the
tape
which
will
interfere
with
proper
functioning.
Oxides
on
the
record/playback
head
can
Cause
a
Significant
reduction
of
the
treble
content
of
taped
program.
Demagnetizing
The
tape
heads
and
capstan
must
be
demagnetized
after
approximately
50
hours
of
use.
Failure
to
do
so
will
result
in
increased
background
noise
and
reduction
of
high
frequencies.
