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 list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditiéner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway. motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

SPECIFICATIONS
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 POWER SWITCH IS SECONDARY CONNECTED AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT FROM MAINS

CLEANING THE HEADS, PINCH ROLLERS AND
CAPSTANS
é =f pstan |

Erase head Pinch roller
Rec/piay head
The heads, pinch rollers and capstans 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 head
demagnetizer.
| 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 panel
finish.

tape:
is the tape loose, or is some of the tape outside the
cassette?
If some of the tape is loose or projecting outside the cassette shell,
the tape may not properly enter between the capstan and pinch roller,
This will prevent the tape from being supplied property, and may even
damage the tape itself. In such cases, insert a pencil into the reel hole
and take up the slack (Fig. A).

Are the accidental erasure prevention tabs intact?
These tabs allow you to prevent important recordings from being
erased accidentally. When the tab on the cassette shell is broken off
(Fig. B), it is not possible to activate the recording function, so valuable
recordings will not be erased by mistake.
To re-record on a cassette whose tab has been broken off, simply stick
a piece of doubled adhesive tape over the hole (Fig. C).
When using TYPE Il (HIGH/CrO2) tape, be careful not to block the sensor
holes with the tape (Fig. D). if the holes are blocked, the automatic tape

facing you,
@ When breaking off the tab, do not use a magnetized screwdriver.
AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTOR FUNCTION
This cassette deck is equipped with an automatic tape selector function
which utilizes the sensor holes on the tape cassette to determine the
type of tape being used. The cassette deck is then set to match the
tape recording bias and equalization.
NOTES:
@ When using TYPE Ii (HIGH/CrO2) tapes, make sure that the tapes
have sensor holes.
® Make sure that the sensor holes on the cassette are not blocked;
otherewise the tape selector mechanism will not function properly,
@ Do not use TYPE il! (FeCr) tapes.
@ Do not use TYPE IV (METAL) tape for recording.
TYPE Ii (HIGH/CrO;)} tape
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.

During
recording,
the
high-pitched

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 NR ON
system reduces noise in the treble range, cutting tape hiss and
expanding the dynamic range.
