Pen
Note
Recording prerecorded tapes, records, or
other published or broadcast material
may infringe copyright laws, Check these
laws befare recording.
Setting the Recording Level
Setting the recording level correctly is
essential if you want to make top-quality
recordings. If the level is too low, the
recording will be noisy. If the level is set too
high, the recording will be distorted.
Generally speaking, the recording level
should be set so that the loudest peak to be
recorded makes the meters briefty indicate
the meter reference reading for the type of
tape used. If the meters peak over the
reference reading, decrease the recording
level by sliding the RECORDING LEVEL
controls back, until the loudest peak is re-
tained (held) within the reference reading.
However, some program material of different
tape formulations may require higher or
lower recording levels. With a little time and
practice you will be able to select the
critical recording level that gives you the
best hi-fi recordings. The type and condition
of the tape, as well as the type of music
source you are recording will affect the
optimum setting of the recroding level.
Using the BIAS FINE Tuning Control
1. Place the deck into the record mode
and begin recording by using a disc or
a pre-recorded tape of which sound
quality you are familiar with,
2. Set the AUTO MONITOR switch to
TAPE to monitor the reproduced sound.
If the high frequency sound seems
higher than the original of which you are
comparing, turn the BIAS FINE tuning
control toward “+” to obtain the best
possible monitoring sound by ear, On
the other hand, if the high frequency
sound seems low, turn the control to-
ward “~" until the appropriate bias cur-
rent is obtained.
3. As a final check, alternatively set the
AUTO MONITOR to SOURCE and
TAPE to confirm the correct setting of
the BIAS FINE tuning control by com-
paring the recorded sound against the
original.
Record Muting Operation
The capability of creating blank unrecorded
(erased) portions on a tape during recording
is a real advantage is many recording situa-
tions. For instance, you may want to
eliminate undesired portions of an FM
broadcast that you are recording, such as
commercials, station breaks or announce-
ments, You may want to record a complete
program with controlled spacing between
each song. Such blank portions on a tape
can be easily left using the REC MUTE
function.
1, Automatic Spacing Operation — for a 4-
second blank — (during recording)
Press the REC MUTE button during
recording. The tape movement conti-
nues, and a blank space of about 4
seconds is recorded (the REC indicator
flashes).
The deck then switches automatically
to the record-pause mode (both the
REC and PAUSE indicators light).
To begin recording the next tune, press
the » button (the PAUSE indicator
goes off},
2. Automatic Spacing Operation — for a
4-second blank — (during record-pause)
During the record-pause mode, pressing
the REC MUTE button causes the REC
indicator to blink to show the record-
muting stand-by mode. As soon as the
> button is pressed, the tape runs and
the above-mentioned automatic spacing
operation will be initiated,
3. Fora Blank of More Than 4 Seconds
During recording, keep the REC MUTE
button pressed for a longer blank period.
Release the button to enter the record-
pause mode. To begin recording, press
the » button.
4, Fora Blank of Less Than 4 Seconds
After peessing the REC MUTE button
during recording, press the PAUSE
-~6—
button, before the 4-second interval has
expired, to cancel the muting mode and
engage the record-pause made. To begin
recording, press the > button, Or
press the REC MUTE button again to
resume recording without stopping the
tape.
Dubbing
Deck-to-deck copying of tapes (dubbing)
can be done without using an external am-
plifier, Operation is the same as standard
record and playback procedures described in
the record and playback sections,
This deck can be used as the “master” re-
corder with a second recorder used as the
“slave” recorder. Connect the output of
the master to the input of the slave recorder,
To use this deck and the second recorder in
opposite rolles, simply reverse the input and
Output connections,
Punch-In Recording
During playback, you can go from repro-
duce to record by halding in the RECORD
button and simultaneously pressing the »
button. A new recording will start from that
location. This operation allows you to re-
cord over or correct a recorded section of
the tape without pressing STOP button
first and then enabling the record mode,
A previously recorded tape will be auto-
matically erased when you make a new
recording on it. Alternatively it can be
erased by “recording” on it with the RE-
CORDING LEVEL controls set to MIN.
Multi Counter Function
With the multi-counter facilities incorpa-
rated in the unit, there are two different
display modes available, depending on the
setting of the COUNTER MODE button,
Tape Counter Mode: The counter functions
as a conventional tape counter,
Tape-run-time Counter Mode: The counter
measures tape travel in minutes and seconds,
Using as a Tape Counter
Using the COUNTER MODE button, call up
the tape counter mode; a 4-digit display will
appear. Its function is identical to that of
conventional tape indexing counters. The
counter counts upwards as the tape moves

from left to right, and downwards during
rewind as the tape moves from right to left.
The indicated numerals are not related to
time lapse and are not compatible with the
counter readings of other cassette decks.
A typical example of using this display
in the conventional tape counter mode is to
first load a cassette and, before recording,
press the CLEAR button resetting the
counter to “0000". Then note the counter
reading at the beginning of each piece of
music to facilitate locating a particular
selection when you wish to play it back.
Using as a Tape-run-time Counter
Using the COUNTER MODE button, call up
the tape-run-time mode; a dot appears
between the 2nd and 3rd digit. In this
mode, tape travel is measured in increasing
minutes and seconds while the tape is
running at normal speed during recording
(including record muting) and playback.
Counting stops during rewind and fast-
forward, This function can be used to
measure the approximate length of a re-
corded song or to make a calculated estima-
tion of how much tape is left.
“Visible” and “Invisible” Counters
Both counter modes are switchable at any
time, with the one selected appearing on the
display and the other functioning in mem-
ory. For example, when the conventional
tape counter is selected with the COUNTER
MODE button, counting of the tape-run-
time also takes place and its reading can
be called up at any time by pressing the
COUNTER MODE button. Pressing the
CLEAR button resets only the counter
whitch is visible. Both counters, “visible” and
“invisible” are reset when power is switched
off.

CDS (Computomatic Direct Selection)
Function
CDS system allows direct access to any one
of tunes recorded by presetting the tune
number (up to 15) counted from the be-
ginning or end of the tape. The tune number
can be preset by pushing the <4 or p>
button depending on the search direction
and then CPS/CDS button.
“PL 1° will appear on the MULTI COUN-
TER as the CPS/CDS button is pushed
first, the PL number will increase by one
each time the CPS/CDS button is pushed
repeatedly. Thus “PL 5” will appear if the
button is pushed 5 times,
For example, if you wish to search the 3rd
tune from the beginning of tape, push the
44° button to rewind the tape at its begin-
ning, then the CPS/CDS button 3 times to
set the counter to “PL 3”, In the same way
if you wish to search the 4th tune from
the end of tape, push the pp button
and CPS/CDS button 4 times to set the
counter to “PL 4". After reaching the
beginning of the desired tune, the tape is
automatically played back until the play
mode is cancelled,
To exit from the CDS mode:
Press the COUNTER CLEAR or MODE
button while the tape is being rewound
{or fast forwarded), before reaching the
beginning (or end) of tape.
elf the tape has already reached the begin-
ning (or end) and is being fast forwarded
(or rewound) to search for a tune, press
the €4 (or b>), » or STOP button.
eSee also: “Notes Common to INTRO
CHECK, CPS, CDS.”
Notes Common to INTRO CHECK, CPS,
cos :
Various search functions — INTRO CHECK,
CPS, CDS — are performed by detecting and
counting blanks of about 4 seconds, such as
intervals between tunes,
Therefore, with the following types of
tapes, search functions may not work
correctly.
When the intervals between tunes cannot
be detected.
— Intervals of less than 4 seconds,
— High levels of noise in intervals (due
to recording old scratched records,
poor FM or AM reception, etc.).
When parts of the program are likely to
be detected as intervals between tunes:
— Long low level sections in classical
music, etc.
— Momentary pause in a speech at a
conference, etc.
— Continuing low level portions created
by fading out, ete,
ln the case of tapes containing fade-outs,
because the length of the blanks can differ
depending on how the fade-out was
performed, some tune intervals may be
detected and others may not.
This problem can be corrected using the
REC MUTE facility.
Tape Memory Functions

start playback,
Memory Stop
1. Press the STOP MEMO button at the
desired position on the tape during play,
play-pause, record, record-pause or re-
cord-mute.
2. Press the #4 button after playback or
recording, When the memorized pasi-
tion is reached, the tape will stop auto-
matically.
Notes:
Memory start and stop are also possible
during fast-forward.
Memory stop is also possible during play-
back.
For memory start and stop to function
properly, the difference between a mem-
orized position and the position where
rewind or fast-forward is engaged must
be 10 or larger in the counter reading,
Tape transport may not always start or
stop exactly at the memorized counter
index due to the force of inertia from
fast winding,
Memory start and stop can be cancelled
by pressing the corresponding button a
second time (the relevant indicator goes
off).
Memory position setting is not possible
during rewind, fast-forward or stop,
though the indicator will light. In this
case, memory start or stop will take
place at the previously-memorized posi-
tion,
New start and stop positions are mem-
orized whenever the START MEMO or
STOP MEMO button is pressed (in a
functional mode). The memory is cleared
when power is switched off or the cassette
is ejected.
Block Repeat Playback
1. Set the START MEMO position as
described before (the START MEMO in-
dicator lights) at ths start of the ‘block’
you want to repeat.
2. Set the STOP MEMO position (the
STOP MEMO indicator lights) at the end
of the black.
3. Press the <4 button to initiate block
repeat playback.
eThe tape will rewind to the START
MEMO position.
The tape will play automatically from
this position to the STOP MEMO pasi-
tion.
eThe tape will rewind to the START
MEMO position again.
eThus the designated block will be
played back repeatedly.

4. Press the STOP button to stop block
repeat playback. (See illustration A.)
If the STOP MEMO position comes before
the START MEMO position, the block
repeat function works differently.
(See illustration B.
1, After setting both positions, press the
44 or D> button to reach the START
MEMO position.
2. Playback will be repeated in the fol-
lowing loop:
The tape will play from the START
MEMO position to the end.
The tape will rewind to the beginning.
The tape will play from the beginning
to the STOP MEMO position.
The tape will fast-forward to the START
MEMO position.
Notes:
eFor block repeat playback to function,
the difference between the START
MEMO and STOP MEMO positions on
the tape counter must be at least a two-
digit number (10 or larger),
Tape memory functions including block
repeat playback are not compatible with
the CPS, CDS and INTRO CHECK func-
tions; they have priority.
Timer-Controlled Operation (Fig. 5)
Timer-Controlled Recording Operation
1. Connect your deck and stereo system to
a commercially available audio timer as
shown in the diagram.
2. Make all the preparations as for normal
recording, but leave the deck in the stop
mode,
3. Set the audio timer to the required start
(power on) and stop (power off) times.
4. Set the TIMER switch on the deck to
REC.
When the preset start time is reached,
power will be supplied and recording will
start.
Timer-Controlled Playback Operation
1. Check that the deck is correctly con-
nected to the amplifier for normal play-
back operation.
2. Connect the deck and amplifier to a
audio timer as for timer-controlled re-
cording (above).
3. Make all preparation as for normal play-
back, but do not set the tape in motion.
4. Set the audio timer to the required start
(power on) and stop (power off) times.
5. Set the TIMER switch on the deck to
PLAY,
When the preset start time is reached,
power will be switched on and play-
back will start.
Maintenance (Fig. 4)
The heads and tape path should be cleaned
and demaynetized periodically.
Cleaning Tape Path
Apply head cleaning fluid* to special
cotton swabs or a soft cloth, and lightly
rub the heads, capstans and all metal parts
in the tape path,
Also clean the pinch rollers using rubber
cleaning fluid*.
*Both are available in TEAC HC-1 and
RC-1 in the U.S.A, or TEAC TZ-261
Tape Recorder Cleaning Kit in other
areas,
Demagnetizing Heads
Be sure that the power is off, then demag-
netize the heads using a TEAC E-3 demag-
netizer or equivalent. For details of its
use, read its instructions,
Caution:
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe
with a soft cloth or use a diluted neutral
cleaning liquid. Clean off throughly.
Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they may damage the surface of the unit.
Troubleshooting
ee
Basic troubleshooting of a cassette tape
deck is similar to troubleshooting any other
electrical or electronic equipment. Always
check the most obvious possible causes first.
To give you a few ideas of what to look for,
check the following:
No power: Is the power cord connected?
Tape begins running when power is turned
on: Is the TIMER function on?
eNo audio output. Are all connections
properly made?
Degraded sound quality: Are the heads
dirty or magnetized? Are you using
good quality tape? Is the proper NR
System select switch on?
eUnable to select record mode: Are the
record protection tabs on the tape in
place?
