INSTALLATION

When

installing

the

deck,

avoid

locations

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

internal

parts.

H@

Malfunctions

may

also

result

if

the

deck

is

installed

in

an

ex-

cessively

humid

or

dusty

location.

Avoid

installing

the

deck

kitchen

counters

or

other

locations

subject

to

oily

smoke

or

humidity.

M@

If

the

deck

is

placed

directly

on

top

of

an

amplifier,

it

may

pick

up

humming

or

other

noise.

Also,

if

the

amplifier

generates

a

large

amount

of

heat,

the

deck

may

malfunction.

@

If

the

deck

is

located

near

a

television

set,

it

may

pick

up

inter-

ference

noise,

which

will

be

recorded

as

a

whistling

sound

on

the

tape.

If

this

happens,

move

the

deck

further

away

from

the

television

set

or

turn

the

television

set

off

when

operating

the

deck.

M@

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

mal-

function.

CONDENSATION

|

When

the

deck

is

moved

from

a

cold

location

to

a

warm

location,

or

when

the

temperature

of

the

room

changes

suddenly,

conden-

sation

may

form

on

the

mechanical

parts.

This

can

adversely

af-

fect

the

performance

of

the

deck.

If

this

occurs,

wait

for

about

one

hour

to

allow

the

deck

to

adjust

to

the

room

temperature.

To

pre-

vent

condensation

when

heating

a

room,

raise

the

temperature

slowly.

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

fre-

quency

components

of

a

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

sec-

tion

be

cleaned

regularly.

1.

Set

the

POWER

switch

to

OFF.

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

rollers.

NOTE:

After

cleaning

the

head

section,

do

not

load

a

tape

until

the

clean-

ing

fluid

has

dried

completely

(about

two

or

three

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

a

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

in-

terference

noise

may

also

occur.

The

heads

should

be

regularly

demagnetized

with

a

head

demagnetizer,

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.

However,

be

sure

to

turn

down

the

amplifier’s

volume

control

to

its

lower

position,

and

dis-

connect

any

headphones

from

their

headphones

jack.

For

detailed

instructions,

refer

to

the

operating

instructions

of

the

head

de-

magnetizer.

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

neu-

tral

detergent

(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

will

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

roller.

This

will

prevent

the

tape

from

being

loaded

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

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

rerecord

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

IV

(Metal)

or

TYPE

Il

(High/CrO,)

tapes,

be

care-

ful

not

to

block

the

sensor

holes

with

the

tape

(Fig.

D,

Fig.

E).

If

the

holes

are

blocked,

the

automatic

tape

selector

mechanism

will

not

operate

correctly.

NOTES:

@

The

accidental

erasure

prevention

tab

for

each

side

is

the

one

located

on

the

top

left

when

the

side

that

you

want

to

protect

is

facing

you.

@

When

breaking

off

the

tab,

do

not

use

a

magnetized

screw-

driver.

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

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;

otherwise

the

tape

selector

mechanism

will

not

func-

tion

properly.

@

Do

not

use

TYPE

Ill

(FeCr)

tapes.

TIPS

ON

CASSETTE

TAPES

@

Leader

tape

(which

cannot

be

recorded

on)

is

provided

at

the

beginning

of

a

cassette

tape.

Let

the

tape

run

for

about

5

sec-

onds

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

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.

AUTO

BLE

(CT-W620R/CT-W602R

With

commercially

might

differ

slightly

from

one

another,

even

which

re-

produces

the

source

exactly,

optimum

recording

level

(sensitivity)

and

equalizer

values

must

be

set

accordingly

for

each

tape.

In

many

conventional

tape

decks,

standard

values

are

fixed

for

stan-

dard

tapes,

thus

nullifying

the

subtle

differences

between

individ-

Perfect

tuning

by

ear

through

use

of

fine

adjustment

controllers

for

bias

and

sensitivity

is

difficult

and

requires

a

lot

of

effort.

It

is

especially

difficult

with

a

2-head

cannot

be

monitored.

The

AUTO

DOLBY

@

Dolby

NR

Systems

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

tape

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

B-type

NR

system

re-

duces

noise

in

the

treble

range,

cutting

tape

hiss

and

expanding

the

dynamic

range.

The

Dolby

C-type

NR

system

is

even

more

ef-

fective

in

reducing

noise,

as

it

reduces

noise

from

the

mid-range

on.

NOTE:

When

a

tape

has

been

recorded

using

the

Dolby

B-type

or

C-type

NR

system,

make

sure

that

the

DOLBY

are

Dolby

HX

PRO

Headroom

Extension

System

(except

for

The

DOLBY

HX

PRO

system

controls

the

bias

current

during

re-

cording

and

maintains

it

at

the

optimal

level

based

on

the

amount

of

the

high-frequency

components

in

the

music

signal.

It

therefore

provides

excellent

recording

quality

even

when

recording

signals

from

digital

sources,

which

contain

a

large

amount

of

high-fre-

quency

components.

To

guarantee

optimal

results,

the

HX

PRO

system

is

activated

automatically

when

recording

begins.

Since

this

system

controls

the

quality

of

recording

itself,

the

clarity

of

the

sound

will

be

maintained

even

when

ADJUSTING

THE

RECORDING

LEVEL

The

adjustment

of

the

recording

level

is

the

most

important

factor

in

achieving

good

recording

results.

A

high

level

provides

a

good

signal-to-noise

ratio

and

dynamic

range,

but

an

excessively

high

level

distorts

the

sound.

If

the

level

is

set

too

low

for

fear

of

sound

distortion,

irritating

tape

hiss

will

mar

the

recording.

The

charac-

teristics

of

tapes

differ

depending

on

the

manufacturer

and

the

type

of

tape.

Set

the

REC

LEVEL

control

so

that

the

level

meter’s

“—3

dB”

indicator

lights

steadily

most

of

the

time.

No

harm

will

be

done

if

the

“O

dB”

indicator

lights

momentarily

at

peaks.

When

recording

without

Dolby

NR,

set

the

REC

LEVEL

control

so

that

the

“—3

dB”

indicator

lights,

and

the

“O

dB”

indicator

lights

occasion-

ally

at

peaks.

NOTES:

@

The

optimal

recording

level

may

differ

somewhat

depending

on

the

audio

source

and

type

of

tape

used.

In

order

to

obtain

the

best

possible

results,

set

the

recording

level

after

actual

testing.

Listen

to

your

recordings,

and

adjust

the

level

as

necessary.

@

The

level

meter

may

react

differently

during

recording

and

playback

of

the

same

tape.

This

is

due

to

differences

in

tape

sensitivity,

and

creates

no

problem.
