4. Cassettes to Avoid:• Cassettes with poorly formed cases that
rattle during rewind and fast forward.• Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or
pressure pad spring should never be usedfor stereo.
• C-120 cassettes because the tape and thecoating are extremely thin, distortion levelsare high. Also, even a slight stretching ofthe tape will make it susceptible to beingcaught up in the pinch roller and capstan.
• Endless tapes, if used for a long period oftime, can overheat.
5. CareFrom time to time you should wipe the frontand rear panels and the cabinet with a softcloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth ina weak solution of mild detergent and water,wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.Following this, dry immediately with a cleancloth. Do not use rough material, thinners,alcohol or other chemical solvents or clothssince these could damage the finish or removethe panel lettering.

• Skip step 11 and go to step 12.When you start playing the CD in step 12, CDrecording will start at the same time.
• Recording starts in the direction retained inthe unit memory in step 11. If the tape sideyou want to record on doesn’t match the tapetransport direction indicated in the display,press and hold , then press or tochange the starting direction in step 7.
To interrupt CD Synchro Recording• If you press on the CD player to stop the CD,
the unit will stop recording and enter recordingpause.

Additional information for recording
Dolby Noise Reduction SystemsDolby NR (Noise Reduction) systems are toreduce background hiss noise on the tape, andapplied to all types of cassettes.
This unit is equipped with the Dolby B NR andDolby C NR systems.
• Dolby B NR is most commonly applied tocommercially available stereo cassette tapedecks.
• Dolby C NR was further developed from DolbyB NR to satisfy the demand for wider dynamicrange sound reproduction, and is moreeffective in reducing tape noise than Dolby BNR.
It is recommended that a note be made on thecassette label as to which Dolby NR mode thetape was recorded in, since the tape must beplayed in the same Dolby NR mode.
Dolby HX Pro SystemThe unit is also equipped with the Dolby HX Prosystem.
Dolby HX Pro is a system that constantly adjuststhe recording bias current to the most suitablelevel. With this system, even music sourcesconsisting mostly of high frequency sounds canbe recorded in good condition because thedynamic range in higher frequencies can beexpanded.
The system operates while recording regardlessof the Dolby NR mode setting.
Preventing an accidental recordinga Cassettes have two erasure prevention tabs;
one is for side A and the other is for side Bas you see in the illustration below. Byremoving one or both of the tabs, you canprevent accidental recording over therecorded tape.
b After you remove the erasure preventiontabs, you can cover them with adhesive tapefor recording. When you do this, avoidcovering the tape type detection holes (see“About Automatic Tape Type Detection” onpage 10).

Handling cassette tapes/MaintenanceOther Information
If the tape is loose and hanging outof the cassetteIf you try to play the cassette when the tape isloose and hanging out, the tape won’t bepicked up properly between the capstan and thepinch roller and may be jammed inside, this willresult in damage to the tape. Tighten the loosetape as shown in the illustration below.
Caution• Do not touch the tape surface.• Do not put thick paper or cardboard labels in
the cassette holder.• Do not put cassettes near magnetic sources
like speakers, amplifiers, TVs, etc. Yourimportant recording might be erased ordamaged.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight.
Cassettes not recommended• C120 cassettes
C120 tape is thin and therefore more liable tobreak. There is a possibility that tape could getcaught in the pinch roller or capstan.
• Continuous loop (endless) tapesDo not use continuous loop (endless) tapes.
Cleaning the tape headsClean the (recording/playback/erasure) heads,capstan, and pinch roller before recording/playing in order to enjoy the best sound.Normally clean it at least after every ten hours ofuse.
Use a commercially available wet-type headcleaning cassette.
Refer to the operation manual of the headcleaning cassette for details.
Caution• Turn the amplifier volume down to the minimum
before cleaning.• Do not use any dry-type head cleaning cassette.• Wait a few minutes after cleaning until the heads
are completely dried before inserting a cassette.
De-magnetizing the tape headsWhen the cassette deck is used for a long time,magnetism will build up on the head. Thiscauses noise or a loss of high sound range onimportant recorded tapes. De-magnetize thehead after every 50 hours of use with acommercial de-magnetizer suited to this cassettedeck. Refer to the operation manual of the de-magnetizer for details.
CautionTurn the amplifier volume down to the minimumbefore de-magnetizing.
