What
is
surround
sound?
With
ordinary
stereo,
sound
normally
comes
only
from
speakers
in
front
of
the
listener.
Ina
concert
hall
or
theater
though,
sound
reflected
from
the
walls
and
ceiling
reaches
the
fistener
from
all
directions.
This
is
what
accounts
for
the
feeling
of
ambience
or
spaciousness
of
a
live
performance,
Surround
sound
works
to
repraduce
these
effects
to
produce
fuller,
more
“live”
sound
STEREO WIDE
When
the
surround
speakers
are
not
connected,
the
stereo

function
may
be
activated.
This
function
enhances
the

effect.
Note
however,
that
it

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?
Hf
same
of
the
tape
is
projecting
outside
the
cassette
shell
or
if
it
is
loose,
it
may
not
feed
between
the
capstan
and
pinch
roller.
This
will
prevent
the
tape
from
being
transported
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
prevention
tabs
for?
A
cassette
is
provided
with
these
tabs
so
that
important
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)
button,
so
valuable
recordings
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.
©
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
trom
being
erased
in
error.
When
you
want
to
record
again
on
a
cassette
with
broken
erasure
prevention
tabs,
cover
the
tab
sections
with
a
double
layer
of
cellotape
or
other
tape
Erasure
prevention
tabs
With

be

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
approx.
5
secands
so
that
the
leader
tape
clears
the
recording
head
*
Da
not
leave
a
ette
fape
exposed
to
the
environment.
Store
the
cassette
in
its
case
so
that
dust
and
dirt
do
not
adhere
to
the
tape
atter
use,
and
so
that
the
tape
is
prevented
from
becoming
slack
Choose
a
location
which
is
nat
exposed
to
the
effects
of
magnetism,
dust,
dirt
and
oil
for
storing
the
tapes
*
Because
C-120
tapes
are
so
thin,
they
easily
jar
in
the
pinch
roller
and
capstan,
and
they
are
susceptible
to
other
trouble
such
as
irregular
winding.
Try
not
to
use
them

Duplicating the recorded contents of one tape onto another tape is
known as tape copying. The contents of the tape in Deck | can be copied
onto the tape in Deck H {but not vice versa.) Copying is not possible
while either deck is operating. You cannot record a source using the
graphic equalizer
if a tape recorded with the DOLBY NR system is copied, the copied |
tape will also be recorded automatically with DOLBY NR system. |
