CASSETTE TAPES 2 Handling Precautions • C-120 and C-150 tapes C-120 and C-150 cassette tapes use extremely thin tape that can easily get caught in the capstan or pinch roller. Do not use such cassette tapes. • Tape Slack Before putting a tape into the deck, take up any slack with a pencil or your finger tip. This precaution prevents the tape from becoming entangled around the capstan or pinch roller.

2 Storage Precautions • Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject to: • Extremely high temperature or excessive moisture • Excessive dust • Direct sunlight • Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers) • To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases with hub stops 2 Accidental Erasure Prevention • All cassettes have erasure prevention tabs for each side. To protect valuable recordings from accidental or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the appropriate side with a screwdriver or another tool. • To record on a tape whose erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the tab holes with adhesive tape.

A Side A Erasure prevention tab for side A Erasure prevention tab for side B AUTOMATIC TAPE SELECTION This Stereo Cassette Deck contains an automatic tape selector which automatically selects the optimum bias and equalization for the tape in use. This is accomplished by detection of the tape type detections holes in the cassette housing.

• If a tape without tape type detection holes is used, the deck will be set for normal tapes.

ENGLISH DOLBY B AND C NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM 2 The Dolby noise reduction system substantially reduces the tape background noise (hiss) inherent in the cassette medium. Dolby B NR is most widely in use. However Dolby C NR is a much more recent development and represents significant improvements over Dolby B NR. 2 Tape background noise consists primarily of high frequency information, which is particularly annoying during soft passages. The Dolby NR system increases the level of low volume mid- and high-frequency signals during recording and reduces the level of these signals by an identical amount during playback. As a result, the playback signal is identical to the original source, but the level of background noise generated by the tape is greatly reduced.

2 The operating principle of Dolby C NR is similar to that of Dolby B NR except for the encoding/decoding response curves. The noise reduction effect obtained with Dolby C NR is up to 20 dB, compared to 10 dB with Dolby B NR. In addition, Dolby C NR uses an anti-saturation network and spectral skewing circuitry for a significant improvement in the dynamic range of the mid- to high-frequencies.

DOLBY HX-PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION SYSTEM This deck is equipped with the Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system. Since the system functions automatically during recording, no switching operation or adjustment is required. The system is effective with any type of Normal, CrO2 and Metal tape. The Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system functions during recording to raise the saturation level in the treble range. Therefore, most of the treble range components distorted or lost during recording on conventional cassette decks are more faithfully recorded on the new DENON cassette deck.

Features of the Dolby HX-PRO Headroom Extension System (1) Performance of Normal and CrO2 tapes can be improved to very close of that offered by Metal tape. (2) The dynamics in the treble range are improved significantly. (3) Since no decoding is necessary during playback, the improved sound can be enjoyed on any type of tape deck, including portable players and car audio systems. (4) The system functions whether the Dolby B/C NR system is engaged or not.

MAINTENANCE 2 Head Cleaning After long usage, tape coating or dust may adhere to the heads, causing deterioration of sound. Therefore, the parts depicted in the illustration should be cleaned regularly. Use a cotton swab moistened with a tape head cleaning solution (such as alcohol). Notes: 1. Some cleaning cassettes on the market have strong abrasive effects and may scratch the heads. Always use cotton swabs instead of cleaning cassettes. 2. Since the use of metal tape is apt to collect more dust on the heads, the heads should be cleaned more often to enjoy the best possible sound.

2 Cleaning the Pinch Rollers and Capstans If the pinch rollers or capstans accumulate dust, tape transport may become unstable, as a result from slippage, during recording or playback. The tape can also be damaged if it gets entangled in the capstan. Clean these parts with a cotton swab or a soft cloth moistened with a tape head cleaning solution (such as alcohol). 2 Demagnetizing the Heads The heads will become magnetized after long usage or if strongly magnetized objects are brought near them. The result is a generation of noise, loss of the high frequency range, and in extreme cases erasure of treble components on pre-recorded tapes in combination with added noise. Thus, the heads should be demagnetized at regular intervals. (Head demagnetizers are separately available from your dealer.) 2 How to Demagnetize the Tape Heads 1. Turn off the power. 2. Turn on the demagnetizer while it is at least 30 cm away from the heads. Bring the demagnetizer near the heads and slowly move it in small circles four or five times in front of each head, making sure you do not touch them. 3. Slowly move the demagnetizer away and turn it off when it is at least 30 cm away from the heads.
