CASSETTE TAPES

■ 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.

A DR/OR

■ 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

■ 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.

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.

Detection holes for metal tape Detection holes for chrome tape

The deck will skip the rest of the current selection and automatically resume play from the beginning of the next selection.

1. To repeat playback from the beginning of the current selection (REVIEW):

Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Rewind (◀◀) button when the tape is travelling in the forward (▶) direction.

Press the PLAY button, keep it pressed in, and press the Fast Forward (▶▶) button when the tape is travelling in the reverse (◀) direction.

The tape transport indicator flashes.

The deck will rewind the tape to the beginning of the current selection and automatically resume play from that point.

This is very convenient for repeating playback of the current selection.

Notes on Music Search Operation:

The search functions operates by detecting comparatively long, blank sections approximately 4 to 5 seconds long, in between recorded selections. Therefore, the system may not operate normally in the following cases:

• Recordings with discontinuous speech or conversation.
• Recordings with long periods of pianissimo (softly played music).
  • Recordings with long silences.
• Blank sections with a high level of noise.
• Blank sections shorter than 4 seconds.
• If noise-emitting appliances, such as electric razors, drills, refrigerators, etc., are operated nearby.
• REV close to the beginning of the program or CUE close to the ending.

RECORDING (DECK B only)

• Switch on your amplifier or receiver and the source component.
• Set the Tape Monitor switch on your amplifier or receiver to the SOURCE position.

① Press the POWER switch ① to the ON ( — ) position.

② Load the cassette tape ②, ⑫.

(Check that the erasure prevention tabs of the cassette housing have not been broken off.)

③ Move the DOLBY NR switch ⑥ and select the Dolby NR type that suits the recording.

④ Press the Direction ( ◀▶ ) button 16 to select the direction of tape transport.
⑤ Select the type of tape transport with the REVERSE MODE button 7.

Mode	Switch position

⑥ Press the REC/REC MUTE (●) button 16 to set the recording pause mode. The ●■ indicator will light up.
⑦ Adjust the recording level with the INPUT LEVEL control 10 while watching the Peak Level Meter.
⑧ Press the PLAY button 16 to start the recording.

The PLAY ( ◀ or ▷ ) and the ● indicator will light during recording.

⑨ To pause the recording, press the REC PAUSE (Ⅲ) button 16, Press the PLAY button 16 to resume recording.
⑩ To stop recording, press the stop ( ■ ) button 16.

Caution:

• Be sure to press the stop (■) button to stop recording before turning off the power or unplugging the power supply cord.

• Be careful not to erase important recordings by mistake. Inadvertent start of recording will happen in the following cases:

• If the PLAY button is pressed while the ● indicator lights, recording starts.

• If the PLAY and REC/REC MUTE (●) button are pressed at the same time, recording starts.

The best way to avoid accidental erasure is to break off the two erasure prevention tabs on the cassette housing.

A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion. On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages will be marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the single most important factor for making well balanced recordings.

Guideline for maximum recording level

TYPE I (Normal)	0 dB level on peaks
TYPE II ( CrO_2 )	+1 dB level on peaks
TYPE IV (Metal)	+3 dB level on peaks

Note: The optimum recording level differs depending on the program source and the type of tape used.

■ RECORDING BIAS ADJUSTMENT

For best recording results, monitoring during recording and comparing different recordings using your own judgement are essential.

The DRW-695 is equipped with a BIAS FINE control to assist you in setting the proper bias for different types and brands of tape. At the center stop-click position, the deck is set to the reference bias level for Normal, CrO_2 and Metal tape. If the resulting recording in this position has too much or too little high frequency content, adjusting the BIAS FINE control can be useful to achieve better results.

If the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to be boosted, turn the BIAS FINE control counter-clockwise to decrease the bias current. Turn the control clockwise to increase bias current.

By the use of this control, you can record tapes with a frequency response that will perfectly match your listening taste.

■ REC/REC MUTE AND REC PAUSE Button

1. To record a 5-second blank section during recording:

Press the REC/REC MUTE (●) button. A 5-second blank will be recorded and the deck will enter the recording be standby mode.

1. To record a 5-second blank section during the recording standby mode:

Press the REC/REC MUTE (●) button from the recording standby mode. A 5 second blank will be recorded and the deck will enter the recording standby mode again.

1. To cancel recording of blank space:

Press the REC PAUSE (■) button. Blank space recording will be cancelled and the deck enters the recording standby mode.

1. To extend the blank section with another 5 seconds or more:

Simply press the REC/REC MUTE (●) button and the blank section will be increased with another 5 seconds.

DIMMER ADJUSTMENT

With the DRW-695, the brightness of the display can be adjusted in seven steps.

To make the display brighter, press the B deck's fast forward (▶▶) button while holding in the B deck's STOP button.

To make the display dimmer, press the fast rewind (◀◀) button while holding in the STOP button.

DOLBY B AND C NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM

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.
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.

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.

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, CrO_2 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.

(1) Performance of Normal and CrO_2 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

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.

■ 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).

■ 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.)

■ 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.

Check the following before you draw the conclusion that your Stereo Cassette Deck is malfunctioning.

1. Are all the connections correct?
2. Are all system components being operated correctly in accordance with the operating instructions?
3. Are the speakers and amplifier/receiver functioning correctly?
   If the tape deck still does not function properly, check the symptom against the list below. If the symptom does not correspond to the check list, please contact your DENON dealer.

Problem	Cause	Remedy
Tape does not run	Power cord is disconnected.Tape is loose.Cassette is not loaded properly.Defective cassette.	Check power cord.Tighten tape with a pencil, etc.Load cassette properly.Replace cassette.
Tape is not recorded when REC/REC MUTE (●) button is pressed.	No cassette is loaded.Erase prevention tabs are broken off.	Load cassette.Cover holes with adhesive tape.
Sound is warbled and distorted.	Heads, capstan or pinch roller are dirty.Tape is wound too tight.Recording input level is too high.Tape is worn out and has “drop-outs”.	Clean them.Fast forward or rewind to loosen tape winding.Adjust recording input level.Replace tape.
Excessive noise	Tape is worn Heads, capstan or pinch roller are dirty.Heads are magnetized.Recording input level is too low.	Replace them.Clean them.Demagnetize heads.Adjust recording input level.
High frequency range (treble) is emphasized.	Dolby NR switch is set improperly.	Set Dolby NR Switch properly.
High frequency range (treble) is lost.	Heads are dirty.Tape is worn.	Clean them.Replace tape.
The cassette tape cannot be removed.	If the POWER switch is turned off either during recording or playback and the unit is stopped, there may be cases when the cassette cannot be removed, even if the EJECT (▲) button is pressed.	Turn the POWER switch ON (■) again, and then press the STOP (■) button.Now, press the EJECT (▲) button to remove the cassette tape.
