Selecting
fine
audio
equipment
such
as
the
unit
you've
just
purchased
is
only
the
start
of
your
musical
enjoyment.
Now
it's
time
to
consider
how
you
can
maximize
the
fun
and
excitement
your
equipment
offers.
This
manufacturer
and
the
Electronic
Industries
Association's
Consumer
Electronics
Group
want
you
to
get
the
most
out
of
your
equipment
by
playing
it at
a
safe
level.
One
that
lets
the
sound
come
through
loud
and
clear
without
annoying
blaring
or
distortion-——and,
most
importantly,
without
affecting
your
sensitive
hearing.
Sound
can
be
deceiving.
Over
time
your
hearing
“comfort
level”
adapts
to
higher
volumes
of
sound.
So
what
sounds
“normal”
can
actually
be
loud
and
harmful!
to
your
hearing.
Guard
against
this
by
setting
your
equipment
at
a
safe
level
BEFORE
your
hearing
adapts.
To
establish
a
safe
level:
@
Start
your
volume
control
at
a
low
setting.
@
Slowly
increase
the
sound
until
you
can
hear
it
comfortably
and
clearly,
and
without
distortion.
Once
you
have
established
a
comfortable
sound
level:
@
Set
the
dial
and
leave
it
there.
‘Taking
a
minute
co
do
this
now
will
help
co
prevent
hearing
damage
or
loss
in
the
future.
After
all,
we
want
you
listening
for
a
lifetime.
We
Want
You
Listening
For
A
Lifetime
Used
wiscly,
your
new
sound
equipment
will
provide
a
lifetime
of
fun
and
enjoyment.
Since
hearing
damage
from
loud
noise
is
often
undetectable
until
it
is
too
late,
this
manufacturer
and
the
Electronic
Industries
Association’s
Consumer
Electronics
Group
recommend
you
avoid
prolonged
exposure
to
excessive
noise.
This

INSTALLATION
|
When
installing
the
cassette
deck,
avoid
locations
with
high
temperatures
or
humidity,
and
make
sure
that
the
location
is
well
ventilated.
@
Do
not
install
the
cassette
deck
in
locations
subject
to
direct
sunlight,
or
near
a
space
heater
or
other
heating
device,
as
this
may
cause
damage
to
the
finish
or
the
internal
parts.
™@
Malfunctions
may
also
result
if
the
cassette
deck
is
installed
in
an
excessively
humid
or
dusty
location.
Do
not
install
the
cassette
deck
next
to
kitchen
counters
or
other
locations
subject
to
oily
smoke
or
humidity.
@
If
the
cassette
deck
is
placed
directly
on
top
of
an
amplifier,
it
may
pick
up
humming
or
other
noises.
Also,
if
the
amplifier
generates
a
large
amount
of
heat,
the
cassette
deck
may
malfunction.
M
if
the
cassette
deck
is
located
near
a
television
set,
it
may
pick
up
interference
noise,
which
will
be
recorded
as
a
whistling
sound
on
the
tape.
[If
this
happens,
move
the
cassette
deck
further
away
from
the
television
set
or
turn
the
television
set
off
when
operating
the
cassette
deck.
W@
Do
not
place
a
cloth
over
the
deck,
or
block
the
ventilation
slots
in
any
way.
The
ventilation
slots
on
this
deck
are
necessary
to
keep
internal
parts
cool.
If
they
are
blocked,
the
deck
may
malfunction.
CONDENSATION
When
the
cassette
deck
is
moved
from
a
cold
focation
to
a
warm
location,
or
when
the
temperature
of
the
room
changes
suddenly,
condensation
may
form
on
the
mechanical
parts
and
affect
the
performance
of
the
tape.
If
this
occurs,
wait
for
about
one
hour
to
allow
the
cassette
deck
to
adjust
to
the
room
temperature.

The
heads,
pinch

and

are
likely
to
get
dirty
quite
easily.
If
these
parts
(particularly
the
heads)
get
dirty,
the
high
frequency
components
of
recording
will
not
be
repro-duced
and
the
stereo
balance
will
be
impaired,
resulting
in
a
deterioration
of
the
playback
sound.
it
is
therefore
recommended
that
the
head
section
be
cleaned
regularly.
1.
Set
the
POWER
switch
to
STANDBY.
2.
Press
the
STOP/EJECT
(m/#)
button
to
open
the
cassette
door.
3.
Dip
a
cleaning
swab
in
cleaning
fluid
and
use
it
to
wipe
the
heads,
capstans
and
pinch
rollers.
NOTE:
After
cleaning
the
head
section,
do
not
load
a
tape
until
the
cleaning
fluid
has
dried
completely
(about
two
or
three
minutes).
After
using
the
cassette
deck
for
a
period
of
time,
the
heads
will
become
magnetized.
The
same
effect
will
occur
if
a
magnetized
screwdriver,
magnet
or
other
magnetized
object
is
brought
too
close
to
the
heads.
When
the
heads
become
magnetized,
high-
frequency
sounds
will
be
lost
during
recording
or
playback,
and
interference
noise
may
also
occur.
The
periodic
use
of
a
cassette-
type
head
demagnetizer
(availabie
from your
dealer)
is
recom-
mended
in
order
to
demagnetize
the
heads
of
the
deck.
When
demagnetizing
the
heads,
make
sure
that
the
POWER
switch
of
the
cassette
deck
is
set
to
ON.
However,
be
sure
to
turn
down
the
amplifier’s
volume
control
to
its
lowest
position,
and
disconnect
any
headphones
from
the
headphones
jack.
For
detailed
instructions,
refer
to
the
operating
instructions
of
the

CLEANING
THE
FRONT
PANEL
Clean
the
cassette
deck
regularly
with
a
soft
cloth.
if
the
frant
panel
becomes
soiled,
moisten
a
soft
cloth
with
a
weak
soiution
of
neutral
detergent
(diluted
in
five
to
six
parts
water),
wring
the
cloth
well,
and
wipe
the
panei
clean.
Never
use
volatile
cleaners
like
thinners,
benzine
or
alcohol
because
they
will
damage
the

TIPS
ON
CASSETTE
TAPES
@
Leader
tape
(which
cannot
be
recorded
an)
is
provided
at
the
beginning
of
a
cassette
tape.
Let
the
tape
run
for
about
§
secands
before
starting
to
record,
to
allow
the
ledder
tape
to
clear
the
recording
head.
@
Do
not
leave
a
cassette
tape
exposed
to
the
environment.
Store
the
cassette
in
its
case
after
use
so
that
dust
and
dirt
do
not
adhere
to
the
tape,
and
so
the
tape
will
not
get
slack.
Store
tapes
in
a
location
free
from
magnetism,
dust,
dirt,
oil,
heat
and
humidity.
@
Because
C-120
tapes
are
very
thin,
they
can
easily
jam
in
the
pinch
rollers
and
capstan,
and
they
often
are
subject
to
other
problems
such
as
irregular
winding.
it
is
best
not
to
use
them
with
this
deck.
@
{if
cassette
tapes
are
irregularly
wound,
the
tape
may
get
jammed
in
the
rollers.
This
can
cause
damage
to
both
the
tape
and
the
deck.
if
you
are
not
certain
whether
the
tape
is
wound
evenly,
fast
forward
or
rewind
the
tape
from
beginning
to
end,
to
make
sure
that
the
tape
is
properly
wound.

Dolby
NR
System
Dolby
NR
systems
are
designed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
tape
hiss,
mainly
in
the
treble
components.
During
recording,
the
high-pitched
pianissimo
sounds
which
are
most
characteristic
of
audible
noise
are
boosted,
and
during
playback,
only
these
boosted
sections
are
attenuated,
so
that
the
sound
is
returned
to
normal.
As
a
result,
the
noise
is
attenuated
by
an
amount
equal
to
the
boosting
in
the
treble
range.
The
Dolby

reduces

in

cutting
