A

and

lowers

the

to

compensate

for

the

‘‘self

which

occurs

during

peaks.

Since

it

only

operates

during

you

can

The

should

also

not

such

as

ing

Excessive

Avoid

e

Be

extremely

careful

with

Clean

demagnetize

them

regularly,

under

no

metals

be

used

anywhere

near

@

This

is

extremely

sensitive

to

magnetic

fields,

so

do

not

devices

which

generate

magnetic

fields.

@

Hum

may

even

be

induced

by

magnetic

in

certain

amplifiers.

Therefore,

this

unit

should

also

be

kept

clear

of

the

amplifier.

e@

Do

not

remove

the

cabinet

case.

If

any

of

the

internal

parts

are

handled,

there

is

a

considerable

danger

of

electric

shock.

cassettes

with

no

should

never

be

used

for

levels

are

high

and

Also,

even

a

To

Obtain

the

Most

Accurate

Time

Indications

Possible:

The

real

counter

is

not

a

so

there

may

be

slight

dif-

ferences

between

the

tape

transport

time

as

shown

by

the

counter

and

the

actual

time

that

has

elapsed.

Small

differences

in

tape

lengths

between

different

manufacturers

can

also

cause

slight

errors.

To

obtain

a

more

precise

reading

of

remaining

time

near

the

end

of

a

cassette,

repeat

the

remaining

time

calculation

procedure.

ff

you

insert

a

cassette

of a

different

length,

use

the

TAPE

SIZE

selector

button

to

set

the

new

length.

e

The

remaining

time

is

automatically

recalculated

when

the

remaining

time

counter

reaches

[6:00].

The

display

changes

briefly

to

[CALC],

then

the

new

(more

accurate)

remaining

time

is

displayed.

1)

If

the

wrong

tape

size

has

been

selected,

the

remaining

time

reading

will

differ

significantly

from

the

actual

time

remaining

on

the

cassette.

2)

The

correct

elapsed

time

is

maintained

even

when

the

deck

is

in

the

mode.

3)

The

RESET

is

the

4)

When

set

the

Tape

In

such

cases

there

will

be

a

certain

discrepancy

between

the

actual

elapsed

and

times

and

the

Slight

differences

in

can

also
