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

roller.

This

will

prevent

the

tape

from

being

supplied

or

damage

the

tape

itself.

in

cases

like

these,

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

which

prevents

tape

slack.

Remove

this

stopper

when

loading

the

tape

and

replace

it

after

having

used

the

cassette.

What

are

the

accidental

erasure

preven-

tion

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

record-

ings

will

not

be

erased

in

error.

To

re-record

on

a

cassette

whose

tabs

have

been

broken

out,

simply

stick

a

piece

of

doubled

adhesive

tape

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

or

2}.

so

that

material

on

each

side

can

be

prevented

fram

being

erased

in

error.

Tips

on

using

cassette

tapes

®

Leader

tape

(which

does

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.

®

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.

GRAPHIC

EQUALIZER

CONTROLS

The

advantage

of

the

GRAPHIC

EQUALIZER

over

conventional

tone

controls

is

that

with

the

five

controls

of

the

GRAPHIC

EQUALIZER

it

is

possible

to

control

five

different

narrow.

With

conventional

tone

controls

a

setting

for

a

bass

or

treble

boost

or

cut

will

also

affect

the

lower

or

upper

mid

frequencies.

The

frequency

bands

controlled

by

the

five

slide

controls

have

been

chosen

to

yield

the

maximum

possible

control

action

within

the

audio

spectrum.

100

Hz:

The

100

Hz

control

is

very

useful

for

enhancing

low

bass

notes

as

in

organ

music.

330

Hz:

The 330

Hz

control

will

allow

you

to

vary

the

upper

bass

frequencies.

4

kHz:

The

1

kHz

control

is

the

presence

control

and

can

be

used

very

effectively

to

emphasize,

or

de-

emphasize

vocalists.

3.3

kHz:

The

3.3

control

will

add

brilliance

and

clarity

to

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

THE

HEAD

SECTION

The

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.

DEMAGNETIZING

THE

HEAD

The

head

becomes

magnetized

when

you

use

the

prolonged

periods

of

This

results

in

noise

being

gener-

ated

and

the

treble

dropping

off

during

recording

and

playback.

The

head

should

therefore

be

demagnetized

regularly

with

a

head

demagnetizer

(sold

separately).

For

fer

to
