Handling Cassette Tapes

Caution

< Do not open the cassette or pull the tape out of the cassette.

<

Do not touch the tape surface.

<

Do not use or store the tape in a humid or dusty place.

<

Keep the tape away from any magnetic sources, such as

speakers or TVs, otherwise noise may be produced during

playback or important recordings may be erased.

Cassette tapes that you should not use

Poor performance, errors, or malfunctions may result if you

use any of the tapes described below. Some of these tapes

may also cause tape clog problems that can damage the tape

transport mechanism.

Cassettes that are imperfectly shaped

Do not use a deformed cassette or one that has unstable tape

movement or makes a strange sound during fast-forward or

rewind.

Long play tapes

Do not use C-120 or longer tapes. These tapes are very thin

and can easily stretch or get tangled in the tape transport

mechanism.

Endless tapes

Do not use these tapes because they can easily get tangled in

the tape transport mechanism.

Automatic tape type detection function

This cassette deck can detect what type of tape is being used

based on the detection holes in the cassette shell. Be sure to

use cassettes with detection holes.

<

With this cassette deck, you can play back normal (Type I),

chrome (Type

II) and metal (Type IV ) tapes. For recording, use

normal (Type

I) or chrome (Type II) tapes.

<

Each deck (TAPE I and TAPE II) is equipped with its own auto

tape type detection function, so you can use different types

of tape at the same time.

Tape slack

Slack can cause the tape to get tangled in the capstan or

other rotating parts. To prevent this, take up all tape slack

using a pencil or the like inserted into the reel hole.

Accidental erasure prevention tabs

Tabs on top of the cassette shell allow you to prevent

important recordings from being erased by mistake. There are

two tabs on each cassette shell: one for side “A” and the

other for side “B”.

Once these tabs have been removed using a screwdriver or

the like, there is absolutely no chance of the recording

function being activated.

To record on a cassette whose tab has been broken off, stick

a piece of adhesive tape over the hole. Be careful not to block

the tape type detection holes.

Dolby NR

Dolby NR is designed to reduce tape hiss, a noise introduced

during the recording and playback processes. This cassette

deck is equipped with Dolby B-type Noise Reduction.

The Dolby NR system affects both recording and playback

quality. In playback, be sure to set the DOLBY NR switch to

the same position used when the recording was made.

Using the Remote Control Unit

Cautions when using the remote control unit

<

Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor of the

cassette deck and operate the remote control unit at a

distance of no more than 5 meters. Do not place objects

between the remote control unit and remote sensor.

<

Direct sunlight or very bright light will reduce the sensitivity of

the remote sensor. If this is the case, use the control buttons

on the cassette deck instead of the remote buttons.

<

It is possible that other infrared-ray-sensitive equipment

nearby may malfunction when you operate the remote

control.

Loading batteries into the remote control unit

Remove the lid of the battery compartment, load two “AA”

sized batteries in the indicated directions, and then replace

the lid. When inserting batteries, be sure to observe proper

polarity (+ and –).

If you have to put the remote control unit quite close to the

remote sensor or if any remote buttons do not work, then

the batteries are no longer fit for use and must be

replaced.

Be sure to always replace both batteries at once.

Important Cautions for Handling Batteries

Improper battery use can result in leakage or rupture. Observe

the following instructions:

< Load the batteries in the correct direction as indicated in the

battery compartment.

< Do not mix old and new batteries, or mix different types or

brands of battery.

< Do not heat, disassemble, or throw batteries into fire or

water.

< Do not store or carry batteries together with other small metal

objects. Doing so can cause battery shorting, leakage or

rupture.

<

Do not try to recharge dry batteries.

<

When the cassette deck is not going to be used for a long

time (more than one month), take the batteries out of the

battery compartment.

<

If leakage into the battery compartment is observed, wipe up

any liquid inside the compartment and load new batteries.

Song Search

m,m,

This cassette deck is equipped with the Computomatic

Program Search (CPS) function. This function detects blank

spaces (longer than 4 seconds) between songs and fast-winds

the tape in the forward or backward direction skipping over

the specified number of songs, thus allowing direct access to

the beginning of a desired song. CPS can skip up to 20 songs

ahead of or behind the current song.

When you press the m

or , button during playback, the

tape counter reads “CP 01” and the tape starts running at

high speed in the pressed direction. Each time you press the

same direction button, the displayed number increases by one

integer. The number decreases as you press the opposite

direction button.

<

If you are listening to a song and want to go back to the

previous song, press the locator button opposite to the

playback direction twice. Pressing it just once will take you

back to the beginning of the current song. Each additional

press of the button will take you back one song.
