Three

with

PC-OCC

Wire

Head

Windings

Three

heads

(record,

playback,

and

erase)

give

you

maximum

recording

and

playback

efficiency,

and

let

you

monitor

the

playback

as

you

record.

The

gap-width

of

each

head

is

differ-

ent,

so

each

head

is

optimized

for

its

specific

job.

PC-OCC

(single-crystal

wire

assure

you

of

virtually

no

The

eliminates

this

by

allow-

you

to

3.

Deck

Location

—

Do

not

use

or

leave

in

direct

sunlight

or

in

other

places

sub-

ject

to

high

temperature

and

humidity.

The

unit

should

also

not

be

left

in

potentially

hot

places

such

as

near

heating

appli-

ances.

Excessive

heat

and

moisture

can

lead

to

internal

dam-

age

and

serious

malfunctions

(this

also

applies

to

cassette

tapes).

The

recommended

ambient

temperature

range

is

5°C

to

35°C.

Avoid

damp

and

dusty

places

and

locations

prone

to

vibra-

tions.

Be

extremely

careful

with

the

recording/playback

heads.

Clean

and

demagnetize

them

regularly,

but

under

no

circum-

stances

should

magnets

or

other

metals

be

used

anywhere

near

the

heads.

This

unit

is

extremely

sensitive

to

magnetic

fields,

so

do

not

use

near

large

speakers

or

other

devices

which

generate

mag-

netic

fields.

Hum

may

even

be

induced

by

magnetic

flux

leakage

from

the

power

transformer

in

certain

amplifiers.

Therefore,

this

unit

should

also

be

kept

clear

of

the

amplifier.

Do

not

remove

the

cabinet

case.

If

any

of

the

internal

parts

are

handled,

there

is

a

considerable

danger

of

electric

shock.

Cassettes

to

Avoid:

Cassettes

with

poorly

formed

cases

that

rattle

during

rewind

and

fast

forward.

Low

cost

cassettes

with

no

guide

roller

or

pressure

pad

spring

should

never

be

used

for

stereo.

C-120

cassettes—because

the

tape

and

the

coating

are

ex-

tremely

thin,

distortion

levels

are

high.

Also,

even

a

slight

stretching

of

the

tape

will

make

it

susceptible

to

being

caught

up

in

the

pinch

roller

and

capstan.

Endless

tapes,

if

used

for

a

long

period

of

time,

can

overheat.

Set

Setting

the

Proper

Recording

Level

The

recording

level

has

an

important

effect

on

the

sound

quality

a

tape

will

have

when

it

is

played

back.

A

recording

level

that

is

too

high

will

cause

distortion

while

one

that

is

too

low

will

lower

the

signal-to-noise

ratio

resulting

in

a

tape

with

excessive

‘‘hiss

noise.’’

It

is

particularly

important

to

set

the

recording

level

cor-

rectly

with

cassette

tapes

since

they

have

a

much

thinner

magnetic

coating

than

open

reel

tapes.

The

thin

coating

gives

the

tape

a

comparatively

low

saturation

level

which

can

easily

be

surpassed

if

the

recording

level

is

set

too

high.

The

recording

level

indicators

feature

a

peak-hold

function

for

the

indicators

from

-6

dB

through

+8

dB.

This

can

come

in

handy

when

setting

the

recording

level.

(3)

Record

on

a

of

the

you

wish

to

use

at

about

the

level.

(The

(4)

Compare

the

sound

of

the

tuner’s

white

noise

with

that

re-

corded

on

the

tape.

If

they

sound

the

same,

the

Accubias

ting

is

correct.

(5)

If

they
