INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Philips FC880 Stereo cassette
deck for your audio system.
This cassette deck incorporates a number of features designed
to enhance your enjoyment of your favorite audio programs.
Please read these operating instructions carefully. We
recommend that you read the entire owner’s manual before
you attempt to connect or operate the unit.
After you have read the contents of this manual, we suggest
that you make all system connections before you attempt to
operate the unit.
INSTALLATION
e After unpacking remove all protective materials.
@ Do not leave the equipment and the cassettes for any length
of time in direct sunlight or other places where high temperatures
can occur, such as in the vicinity of heating apparatus.
@ Do not expose the equipment to humidity or rain.
@
This
unit
is
equipped
with
microprocessors.
Static
electricity,
for
example,
may
sometimes
cause
interference.
You
can
correct
this
by
switching
off
the
mains
switch
for
30
seconds.
@
Always
place
the
cassette
deck
on
a
horizontal
surface.
@ If your cassette deck is placed on or close to other equipment,
hum may sometimes occur. A different position can eliminate
the interference.
FEATURES
1. Dolby HX-Pro
The Dolby HX-Pro system dramatically expands the tape
recording performance and greatly improves the high-
frequency recording oharacteristic.
With an ordinary fixed bias recording circuitry, the use of a
low bias can improve the high-frequency MOL, but increases
the overail distortion. On the other hand, a high bias can
reduce distortion, but the high-frequency MOL is degraded.
As a result, in case the recorded music contains a large
amount of high-frequency component, the effects of the
high-frequency cornponent and fixed bias are multiplied
resulting in over-bias, which degrades the high-frequency
saturation level. This tendency is worsened when the
recording level is high.
To avoid this situation, the Dolby HX-Pro system detects
the high-frequency component contained in the signal to
be recorded and controls the recording bias accordingly.
The saturation level characteristic is improved by reducing
the bias high-frequencies, while maintaining the effective
bias for the middle and iow frequencies.
This makes it possible to obtain reproduction performance
with headroorn close to that of Metal tapes, from normal-
position tapes.
It is to be noted that, unlike noise reduction systems, the
Dolby HX-Pro system is a recording bias adjustment system
which
functions
only
during
recording.
Consequently,
cassettes recorded with the Dolby HX-Pro system can be
played back at any other cassette deck.
2. Dolby B and C noiso roduction systems
The
Dolby
NR
(Noise
Reduction),
systems
reinforce
low-
level
signals
in
the
high
and
middle
frequencies
to
a
certain
extent during recording, and attenuate these signals to the
same extent during playback. As a result, the signal as
recorded is reproduced, except that the tape hiss usually
generated in tape recording is largely reduced.
The principle of the Dolby C NR system is similar to that of
the previously-released B type but, while the B type reduces
noise by about 10 dB, the new C type achieves about 20
dB reduction, which is three times greater.
Note:
The [tpIrt effect of Dolby B and C NR systems is obtained
only when the same type of NR system is used in both
recording and playback. If one is used only in recording or
playback, or if different types are used in recording and
playback, the high frequencies will be degraded, causing
unnatural sound.
3. MPX filter
Switch the MPX (Multiplex) filter ON when recording FM
radio broadcasts.
The MPX filter suppresses the 19 kHz pilot signal contained
in the FM transmission and thereby prevents Dolby NR
malfunction.
4. Digital Peak Level indicator and Memory Call function
The input level of the recording signal is quantized by an
8-bit A/D converter, and displayed digitally in real time in
the range from 0 dB to +12 dB in 1 dB steps.
When the ‘DISPLAY’ button is pressed, the maximum
peak level is indicated by a flashing displayuntil the button
is pressed again.
This facilitates recording level setting so that the recording
can make full use of the tape performance.
5. Programmed Playback and Programmed Dubbing
Up to sixteen music tracks selected from the just fifteen
tracks on a tape can be programmed in any desired order
and played back. The programme can also be recorded on
another tape in Programmed Dubbing.
5. Parallel Recording and Continuous Recording
Using both decks, simultaneous recording (Parallel Recording)
and sequential recording (Continuous Recording) are possible.
7. Quick Reverse
An infrared sensor detects the beginning of the leader
tape and reverses the tape quickly.

Figure 4
One
of
the
elements
contributing
to
the
beauty
of
music
is
the
dynamic
range,
which
is
the
measure
of
the
contrast
between
the
quietest
and
loudest
passages
in
the
music.
To
capture
this
contrast
on
tape,
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
the
recording
level
so
that
the
loudest
passage
will
not
cause
distortion
by
saturating
the
tape.
However,
too
low
a
recording
level
will
hide
the
quietest
passages
beneath
residual
noise.
When
recording
sound
from
a
disc,
for
example,
it
is
first
necessary
to
find
the
loudest
passage
in
the
disc.
By
setting
the
deck

the
Record-Pause
mode

having
inserted
a

the auto shut-off function, then this unit and the stereo
system are turned off by the timer.
Note:
When switched on, the head direction of this unit will always
be forward ( &}, and the reverse mode will always be “” >”.
Timer Playback/Recording of only one side of tape thus is not
possible.
For Timer Recording, be sure to use a tape that can be recorded
onto.
QUICK REVERSE
During recording or playback, the Quick Reverse function reverses
the tape travel direction quickly by means of an infrared tape
sensor.
* The cassette tapes used with this unit should have as
transparent leader tapes as possible.
With a cassette which does not use transparent leader tapes
or which does not use leader tape at all, Ouick Reverse
does not operate.
Usual reverse operation occurs in about 4 seconds after the
music stops.
When a previously-recorded tape is used for two-way
recording, the beginning of the reverse direction will not be
erased for about 0.3 second. The beginning of the second
tape side should therefore be erased manually prior to
recording. :
Quick Reverse does not operate for about 15 seconds after
the start of playback or recording. In other words, Quick
Reverse may not operate if tape travel is started near the
end of tape.
The input signal is interrupted for about 1 second at the
time of Quick Reverse. Sound cannot be recorded during
this period.
OTHER SPECIAL OPERATIONS
The deck mechanisms can be controlled and operated
independently of each other.
Examples:
@ While one deck is in the Play mode, the cassette of the
other deck can be rewound by forward or reverse fast winding.
@ While one deck is recording the whole of an analogue disc
or CD, the other deck can record only the desired music
tracks from it (this is done by setting the other deck to the
Record-Pause mode while unwanted music tracks are played).
@ After setting both decks in the Play mode, the output playback
sound can be switched between them by pressing the
‘DECK A‘ and ‘DECK B' buttons @).
Note, however that the sound is interrupted for a moment
during switching.
Notes:
@ Two or more operations involving search, such as Programmed
Playback, Single Repeat Playback and QMS, cannot be
performed simultaneously.
@ While a search operation is being performed on one deck, a
QMS operation or Single Repeat Playback is not accepted
for the other deck.
When a OMS operation or Single Repeat Playback is initiated
on one deck while the QMS count is being displayed or
Single Repeat Playback is being performed on the other
deck, the QMS count display or Single Repeat Playback of
the other deck is cancelled (the QMS count display is cleared,
or the Single Repeat Playback is cancelled and the deck
enters the Play mode).
Caution:
In case power is turned off during playback or recording
@ Do not turn off the power of your system during playback or
recording of the cassette deck.
@ When it is required to stop during playback or recording, be
sure to press the 'm' (stop) button @) first, then turn the
power off.
If the power is turned off during operation, the cassette
tape is left loaded so it may sometimes not be possible to
eject it by pressing the ‘EJECT’ button @ or (5). In such a
case, turn the power on again, enter the Play mode again,
and press the ‘m’ (stop) button @).
@ The same procedure also applies in the case of power failure
or if the amplifier power cable is unplugged. To prevent
damage, never attempt to force the removal of cassette
tape while the power ts off.
ERASURE OF TAPE
When a programme source is recorded onto a tape, the sound
previously recorded on the tape ts erased automatically and
replaced with the new recording content. Therefore, the tape
need not normally be erased.
If it is required to just erase a tape without recording, set the
"REC LEVEL’ control @) to the minimum (0) position and let
the tape run in the Record mode.
