Precautions
——
Environment
Avoid using the deck in the following
conditions:
© At high temperatures (near a heater,
exposed to direct sunlight, etc.).
© At extremely low temperatures.
© Where there is excessive humidity.
© In a dusty atmosphere.
@ Where power line voltage fluctuations
are severe (in which case the use of a
voltage regulator may be advisable).
Cassette Tape (Fig.2)
Tape Sele
For the automatic tape select function to
work properly, metal and chrome (cobalt)
tapes must have identification holes.
Tape Handling:
Do not store tapes in the following places:
© On top of heaters, exposed to direct
sunlight or in any other places with high
temperatures.
@ Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers
or where they would be exposed to
strong magnetic fields.
@ Where humidity is high and in dirty,
dusty places.
© Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes
to excessive shocks.
Connections (Fig.1)
Turn off the power switches of all
equipment before making connections.
e@Read the instructions of each
component you intend to use with the

lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plua is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a posible shone shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a

follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.

Notes:
@ The settings of the REC LEVEL control

during dubbing as they have no effect.
e@ The <<, <, >» and >> buttons do
not function during NORMAL speed or
HIGH speed dubbing. Also, REC MUTE
and PAUSE do not function during HIGH
speed dubbing.
The sound quality of the dubbed tape
may be slightly worse than that of the
original tape. For this reason,
multigeneration dubbing is not
recommended.
If there is a TV set near the cassette
deck during high speed dubbing, it is
possible that the TV's horizontal
scanning frequency may be recorded on
the tape. If this occurs or to prevent it in
advance, dub at normal speed, switch
off the television or keep the deck a
reasonable distance away from the TV.
Manual editing with REC MUTE and
PAUSE
During normal-speed dubbing, you can edit
the dubbed tape as required using the REC
MUTE and PAUSE buttons. For example,
you can record only the required tunes
from TAPE | to TAPE II skipping unwanted
tunes.
© During normal-speed dubbing, when the
PAUSE button is pressed, TAPE I! enters
the record-pause mode while TAPE |
continues playback. While listening to
the sound from TAPE I, when it reaches
a section you want to dub, press the
PAUSE button again to restart recording
on TAPE Il.
During normal-speed dubbing, when the
REC MUTE button is pressed, TAPE II
enters the record muting operation as in
normal recording. To restart recording
on TAPE II, press the PAUSE button.

CD Synchro Dubbing (Fig. 1)
By connecting the deck to a TEAC CD
synchro compatible CD player which has a
CD/DECK SYNC terminal on its rear panel,
dubbing (recording) synchronized with the
CD player is possible.
Frowarstog
Connect the deck's CD/DECK SYNC
terminal to the CD player's CD/DECK
SYNC terminal using an optional cable.
2. Perform programming of the ‘time edit’,
etc. functions of the CD player
beforehand (refer to the instructions of
the CD player).
3. Set the source to CD using the
amplifier's source select buttons.
4, Set the recording level.
5. Set the deck and the CD player to the
stop mode.
6. Press the CD SYNC button of the deck.
The CD player will start automatically
approx. 1 sec after the deck starts
recording and dubbing will be
performed. (The CD SYNC indicator
lights.) (See page 7.)
To stop temporarily during dubbing:
To temporarily stop CD synchro dubbing
(A) Press the STOP button of the deck. The
CD player will return to the beginning
of the current tune and pause there. To
restart, press the deck's CD SYNC
button.
(B) Press the stop button of the CD player.
The deck enters the rec/pause mode.
To restart, press the CD player's play
button.
When the CD player has entered the
pause mode, it stands by after returning
to the beginning of the tune that has just
been played.
When recording is done up to the end of
the tape, the CD player stands by after
returning to the beginning of the tune
that has just been played.
Note:
If the CD player is connected to the stereo
amplifier using an optical cable, synchro
dubbing is not possible. If synchro dubbing
is required, you must connect the deck's
analog output using pin plug cords.
CAUTION:
Recording pre-recorded tapes, records,
or other published or broadcast
material may infringe copyright laws.
Check these laws before recording.
Remote-Controlled Operation
When operating the remote control unit,
point it towards the remote sensor on the
front panel of the unit (Fig. 4).
Battery Installation (Fig. 3)
1, Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two “AAA (R03, UM-4) dry
batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are
inserted with their positive ® and
negative © poles positioned correctly.
Close the cover until it clicks.
»
Battery replacement
If the operation range from the unit to the
amplifier begins to decrease, the batteries
are nearly exhausted and both should be
replaced.
© Be sure to insert the batteries correctly,
as shown in the battery compartment.
© Do not use old and new batteries
together.
@ Rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries can be used. Refer to the
precautions on their labels.
@ When the remote control unit is not to
be used for a long time (more than a
month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from
leaking.
Maintenance (Fig. 5)
The heads and tape path should be
cleaned and demagnetized periodically.
Cleaning Tape Path
© Apply head cleaning fluid* to a cotton
bud or soft cloth, and lightly rub the
heads, capstan and all metal parts in the
tape path.
© Also clean the pinch roller using rubber
cleaning fluid*.
* Both are available in TEAC Tape
Recorder Cleaning Kits HC-2 and RC-2 in
the U.S.A. or TZ-261 in other areas.
Demagnetizing Heads
Be sure that the power is off, then
demagnetize the heads using a TEAC E-3
demagnetizer. For details of its use, read its
instructions.
Caution:
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe
with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral
cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid
completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or
alcohol as they may damage the surface of
the unit.
Troubleshooting
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?
© No audio output: Have all connections
been made correctly?
© Low sound quality: Are the heads dirty
or magnetized? Are you using good
quality tape? Has the correct NR System
been selected?
© Impossible to enter the record mode:
Are the record protection tabs of the
cassette in place?
