Check

they

where

the

voltage

differ,

adjust

the

as

follows.

1.

Use

a

screwdriver.

2.

First,

insert

a

screwdriver

into

the

and

adjust

so

that

3.

Next,

insert

the

screwdriver

into

the

and

adjust

until

the

is

the

same

as

at

MAINTENANCE.

CLEANING

THE

HEAD

SECTION

The

heads,

capstan

and

pinch

roller

are

parts

which

are

liable

to

get

dirty

quite

easily.

In

particular,

if

the

heads

are

dirty,

the

high

frequency

components

of

the

sound

will

not

be

reproduced

and

the

stereo

balance

will

be

impaired,

resulting

in

a

deterioration

in

sound

quality.

It

is

therefore

recommended

that

the

head

section

be

cleaned

regularly.

1.

Press

the

EJECT

switch

to

open

the

cassette

door.

2.

Dip

a

cleaning

swab

into

the

cleaning

fluid

and

use

it

to

wipe

the

heads,

capstan,

and

pinch

roller.

NOTE

:

°

Clean

head

as

shown

in

DEMAGNETIZING

THE

HEAD

The

head

becomes

magnetized

when

you

use

the

tape

deck

for

prolonged

periods

of

time.

This

results

in

noise

being

generated

and

the

treble

dropping

off

during

recording

and

playback.

The

head

should

therefore

be

demagnetized

regularly

with

a

head

demagnetizer

(sold

separately).

For

further

details,

refer

to

the

operating

instructions

accompanying

your

head

demagnetizer.

NOTE:

*

Do

not

hold

screwdrivers,

metal

objects,

or

magnets

close

to

the

heads.

«

When

demagnetizing

the

heads,

be

sure

the

unit’s

POWER

switch

is

to

the

standby

position.

REPLACING

THE

STYLUS

1.

Remove

the

stylus

gently.

2.

Attach

the

new

stylus

to

the

cartridge

and

replace

the

screw.

NOTE:

°

The

service

life

of

the

stylus

on

the

supplied

cartridge

ranges

from

800

to

1,000

hours.

(After

about

one

year

if

you

play

records

about

two

hours

everyday.

However,

the

stylus

may

need

to

be

replaced

earlier

depending

on

the

way

it

is

used.)

*°

Using

a

worn

or

damaged

stylus

can

damage

your

records

and

distort

the

sound

reproduction.

Remember

to

replace

the

stylus

at

the

earliest

possible

date.

°

Always

use

the

PIONEER

“PN-240”

as

a

replacement

stylus.

¢

Always

ask

for

a

genuine

PIONEER

replacement

stylus.

MAINTENANCE

OF

EXTERNAL

SURFACES

°

Use

a

polishing

cloth

or

dry

cloth

to

wipe

off

dust

and

dirt.

e

When

the

surfaces

are

very

dirty,

wipe

with

a

soft

cloth

dipped

in

some

neutral

cleanser

diluted

five

or

six

times

with

water,

and

wrung

out

well,

and

then

wipe

again

with

a

dry

cloth.

Do

not

use

furniture

wax

or

cleaners.

®

Never

use

thinners,

benzine,

insecticide

sprays

and

other

chemicals

on

or

near

HOW

TO

HANDLE

CASSETTE

TAPES

Bear

in

mind

the

following

points

before

loading

cassette

tapes.

Is

the

tape

loose,

or

is

some

of

the

tape

outside

the

cassette?

If

some

of

the

tape

is

projecting

outside

the

cassette

shell

or

if

it

is

loose,

it

may

not

enter

between

the

capstan

and

pinch

roiler.

This

will

prevent

the

tape

from

being

supplied

or

damage

the

tape

itself.

In

cases

like

these,

insert

a

pencil

into

the

ree!

hole

and

take

up

the

slack.

(Fig.

A)

Some

cassette

tapes

come

with

a

plastic

or

thick

paper

stopper

which

prevents

tape

slack.

Remove

this

stopper

when

loading

the

tape

and

replace

it

after

having

used

the

cassette.

What

are

the

accidental

erasure

prevention

tabs

for?

A

cassette

is

provided

with

these

tabs

so

that

important

or

otherwise

valuable

recordings

will

not

be

erased

accidentally.

When

the tab

(Fig.

B)

on

the

cassette

shell

is

broken

out

with

the

tip

of

a

screwdriver,

it

will

not

be

possible

to

activate

the

recording

function

even

by

pressing

the

recording

(REC)

switch,

so

valuable

recordings

will

not

be

erased

in

error.

To

re-record

on

a

cassette

whose

tabs

have

been

broken

out,

simply

apply

a

piece

of

adhesive

tape

twice

over

the tab

areas,

as

shown

in

Fig.

C.

NOTE:

The

accidental

erasure

prevention

tabs

are

located

at

the

top

left

on

both

sides

A

and

B

(1

and

2),

so

that

material

on

each

side

can

be

prevented

from

being

erased

in

error.

Tips

on

using

cassette

tapes

®

Leader

tape

(which

dees

not

allow

sound

to

be

recorded

over

it}

is

provided

at

the

beginning

of

a

cassette

tape.

Start

recording

after

allowing

the

tape

to

run

for

about

5

seconds

so

that

the

leader

tape

clears

the

recording

head.

e

Do

not

leave

a

cassette

tape

exposed

to

the

environment.

Store

the

cassette

in

its

case

so

that

dust

and

dirt

do

not

adhere

to

the

tape

after

use,

and

so

that

the

tape

is

prevented

from

becoming

slack.

Choose

a

location

which

is

not

exposed

to

the

effects

of

magnetism,

dust;

dirt

and

oil

for

storing

the

tapes.

¢

Because

C-120

tapes

are

so

thin,

they

easily

jam

in

the

pinch

roller

and

capstan,

and

they

are

susceptible

to

other

trouble

such

as

irregular

winding.

Try

not

to

use

them

with

this

unit.

Use

tapes

of

90

minutes

or

less.
