| MAINTENANCE
When installing the deck, avoid jocations with high
temperatures or humidity, and make sure that the
deck receives adequate ventilation.
@ Do not install the 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.
B Maltunctions may also result if the deck is installed in an excessively
humid or dusty location. Avoid installing the deck next to kitchen
counters or other locations subject to oily smoke or humidity
@ If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier, it may pick up
humming
or
other
noise.
Also,
it
the
amplifier
generates
a
large
amount of heat, the deck may malfunction.
W@
if
the
deck
is
located
near
a
television
set
it
may
pick
up
interference
noise,
which
will
be
recorded
as
a
whistling
sound
on
the
tape.
In
such
cases,
move
the
deck
further
away
from
the
television
set
or
turn
the
television
set
off
when
operating
the
deck
@ Do not place a cloth over the deck, or block the ventilation slots in
any other way. The ventilation siots on this deck are necessary to
keep internal parts cool. If they are blocked, the deck may
miatfunction.
CONDENSATION (DEW)
When the deck is moved from a cold location to a warm location, or
when
the
temperature
of
the
room
changes
suddenly,
condensation
(a
Phenomenon in which moisture forms on the surface of the mechanical
parts)
may
occur,
This
can
adversely
affect
the
performance
of
the
deck.
In
such
cases,
wait
for
about
one
hour
to
allow
the
deck
to
adjust
to
the
room temperature. To prevent condensation when heating a room, raise
the temperature siowly.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handie the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the pfug by tug-
ging
the
cord
and
never
touch
the
power
cord
when
your
hands
are
wet
as
this
could
cause
a
short
circuit
or
electric
shock.
Do
not
place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch
the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords.
The
power
cords
should
be
routed
in
such
a
way
they
are
not
like-
ly
to
be
stepped
on.
A
damaged
power
cord
can
cause
fire
or
give
you an electrical shock. Check the power cord regularly. When you
find
it
damaged,
ask
your
nearest
PIONEER
authorized
service
center
or your dealer for a replacement.

CLEANING
THE
HEADS,
PINCH
ROLLERS
AND
CAPSTANS
The
heads,
pinch
rollers
and
capstans
are
likely
to
get
dirty
quite
easily.
If
these
parts;
particularly
the
heads;
get
dirty,
the
high
frequency
compo-
nents
of
@
recording
will
not
be
reproduced
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
EJECT
button
to
open
the
cassette
door.
3
Dip
a
cleaning
swab
in
cleaning
fluid
and
use
it
to
wipe
the
heads,
capstans
and
pinch
roliers.
NOTE:
After
cleaning
the
head
section,
do
not
load
a
tape
until
the
cleaning
fluid
has dried completely {about 2 or 3 minutes).
DEMAGNETIZING
THE
HEADS
After
using
the
cassette
deck
for
a
period
of
time,
the
heads
will
become
magnetized.
The
same
effect
will
occur
if
2
magnetized
screwdriver,
magnet,
or
other
magnetized
object
is
brought
too
close
to
the
heads.
When
the
heads
become
magnetized,
high
fre-
quency
sounds
will
be
lost
during
recording
or
playback,
and
inter-
ference
noise
may
also
occur.
The
heads
should
be
regularly
demagnetized
with
a
head
dernagnetizer,
which
can
be
purchased
at
most
audio
stores.
When
demagnetizing
the
heads,
make
sure
that
the
POWER
switch
of
the
cassette
deck
is
set
to
ON
and
turn
off
the
sound
volume
on
the
amplifier
to
which
the
deck
is
connected.
Also
be
sure
that
no
headphones
are
connected.
For
detailed
instructions,
refer
to
the
operating
instructions
of
the
head
demagnetizer.
CLEANING
THE
FRONT
PANEL
Clean
the
deck
regularly
with
a
soft
cloth.
If
the
front
panel
becomes
soiled,
moisten
a
soft
cloth
with
a
weak
solution
of
neutral
deter-
gent
(diluted
in
five
to
six
parts
water)
wring
the
cloth
well
and
wipe
the
panel
clean.
Never
use
volatile
cleaners
like
thinners,
benzine
or
alcoho!
because
they
wili
damage
the
panel
finish.

CHECK
CASSETTE
BEFORE
USE
|
Check
the
following
items
before
loading
a
cassette
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
rolier.
This
will
prevent
the
tape
from
being
supplied
properly,
and
may
even
damage
the
tape
itself.
In
such
cases,
insert
a
pencil
into
the
reel
hole
and
take
up
the
slack
(Fig.
A).
Some
cassette
tapes
come
with
a
plastic
or
thick
paper
stopper
to
prevent
the
tape
from
becoming
slack.
Remove
this
stopper
when
loading
the
cassette
and
replace
it
after
using
the
cassette.
Are
the
accidental
erasure
prevention
tabs
intact?
These
tabs
alfow
you
to
prevent
important
recordings
from
being
erased
accidentally.
When
the
tab
on
the
cassette
shell
is
broken
off
(Fig.
8),
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
[V
(Metal)
or
TYPE
II
({HIGH/CrO:)
tapes,
be
careful
not
to
block
the
sensor
holes
with
the
tape
(Fig.
D,
Fig.
&),
{f
the
holes
are
blocked,
the
automatic
tape
selector
mechanism
will
not
operate
correctly.
NOTES:

The
accidental

for
each
side
is
the
one
located
on
the top
left
when
the
side that
you

protect
is

When
breaking

do
not
use
a

AUTOMATIC
TAPE
SELECTOR
FUNCTION
This
cassette
deck
is
equipped
with
an
automatic
tape
selector
func-
tion
which
utilizes
the
sensor
holes
on
the
tape
cassette
to
deter-
mine
the
type
of
tape
being
used.
The
deck
is
then
set
to
match
the
tape
recording
bias
and
equalization.
NOTES:
¢
When
using
TYPE
IV
(Metal)
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
wilf
not
function
properly.

TIPS
ON
CASSETTE
TAPES
@
Leader
tape
(which
cannot
be
recorded
on)
is
provided
at
the
begin-
ning
of
a
cassette
tape.
Let the
tape
run
for
about
5
seconds
before
Starting
to
record,
to
allow
the
leader
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

a
location
free
from

©
Because
C-120
tapes
are
very
thin,
they
can
aasily
jam
in
the
pinch
rollers
and
capstan,
and
they
often
are
subject
to
other
problems
such
as
irregular
winding.
It
is
bast
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
itself.
ff
you
ate
not

whether
the
tape
is
wound
evenly,
fast
for-
ward
of
rewind
the
tape
from
beginning
to
end,
to
make
sure
that
the
tape

properly
wound.

ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL
The adjustment of the recording level is the most important factor
in achieving good recording results. A high level provides 3 good
signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, but an excessively high
laval distorts the sound. If the level is set too low for fear of sound
distortion, untating tape hiss will mar the recording. The charac
tenstics of tapes differ depending on the manufacturer and the type
of tape. Set the REC LEVEL controf so that the level meter’s ‘O
dB" indicator remains lit most of the time. No harm will be done
ifthe! & 3 dB" indicator lights momentarily at peaks. When record
ing without Dolby NR, set the REC LEVEL control so that the “~ 3
dB ndicater lights, and the 'O dB’ indicator lights occasionally
at ooaks
NOTES
® The optinal recording laval may ditfar somewhat depending on the
auche source and type of tape used. in order to obtain the best possible
rysiits, set the recording favel after actual testing. Listes to your
frcue tings, and aust the level as necessary.
