1 MAIN FEATURES

1. Horizontal loading for stable travel

The horizontal loading mechanism used on the DRR-M33 is the ideal type of tray for the rotating parts, the most important part of the cassette deck. Mounting the deck mechanism horizontally lessens vibration of the flywheel in the thrust direction and reduces modulation noise.

1. Various editing and playback functions

2. Auto reverse mechanism for recording and playing for long periods of time.

3. Auto tape selector for automatically identifying the tape type.

4. Music search for choosing selections up to 16 selections away in either direction.

5. Convenient system functions

The DRR-M33 is equipped for system functions allowing easy CD synchronized recording, auto function and auto power on operations when used in combination with a RCD-M33/M35DAB. In addition, the main operations of the system components can be performed using the system remote control unit included with the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB).

2 BEFORE USING

Read the following before using the set

• Before turning on the power

Check again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cords. Be sure to unplug the power supply cord before connecting or disconnecting the connection cords.

• Moving the set

To prevent short-circuits or damage to the connection cords, always unplug the power supply cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

• Condensation (dew)

Water droplets may condense on internal operation parts if the set is brought into a heated room from the cold outdoors or when the room is heated rapidly. If this happens, the set may not operate properly.

Should condensation occur

The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at which time the system will function normally.

• Store this instructions in safe place

After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place. Also fill in the items on the back paper for your convenience.

• Illustrations in this manual

Note that some of the illustrations used for explanations in this manual may differ from the actual set.

3 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

The cassette tape deck uses a microcomputer for controlling internal electronic circuits.

In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To avoid this, please take the following precautions.

• Keep the cassette tape deck as far away from the tuner or TV set as possible.
• Keep the power cable and connecting cable of the cassette tape deck separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
  Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or a 300 / ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor antenna and 75 / ohms coaxial cable is strongly recommended.

300 Ω/ohms feeder cable
75 Ω/ohms coaxial cable

4 CONNECTIONS

Connecting to the RCD-M33/M35DAB

When connecting to a receiver other than the one in the RCD-M33/M35DAB there is no need to make connection 3. Note that in this case none of the system functions (auto power on, etc.) will work.
- System operations such as the auto power on function can only be used if stereo audio cords and system cords are connected between all the system components. Be sure to securely connect all the connection cords between all the units.
- Disconnecting a system cord during system operation may result in malfunction. Be sure to unplug the power supply cords before changing the connections.
- Install the components in such a way that the ventilation holes of the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB) are not obstructed.
- Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.

[Side by side installation]

* The illustration of the CD receiver in the diagram or the operation description is for the RCD-M33/M35DAB.

1	Connect the DRR-M33's LINE OUT terminals to the CD receiver's TAPE IN terminals using the included stereo audio cord.

Read your receiver's operating instructions carefully before using it.

Recommended System Installation

• Do not place another component directly on top of the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB).
  To ensure stability, do not stack more than two units.

NOTES:

• Do not plug power supply cords into power outlets until all connections have been completed.
• Check the left and right channels and be sure to interconnect them correctly (R to R, L to L).
• Plug in the power supply cords securely.

Incomplete connections will result in noise.

• Clasping the power supply cords and connection cords together may result in humming or noise.
• After unplugging the power supply cord, wait at least 5 seconds before plugging it back in.

6 HANDLING CASSETTE TAPES AND CAUTIONS

Cautions on Handling Cassette Tapes

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.

- Slack in the tape

The tape may get caught on the capstan and be damaged if the tape is slack when the cassette is loaded. Use a pencil, etc., to take up any slack in the tape before loading the cassette.

Cautions on Storing Cassette Tapes

• Do not place cassette tapes in the following places:

• Hot or humid places

• Dusty places
• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Places exposed to magnetic forces (near TVs, speakers, etc.)

• Store cassette tapes in cases with stoppers to prevent the tape from becoming slack.

Accidental Erasure Prevention Tabs

• Cassette tapes are equipped with accidental erasure prevention tabs. To protect recordings from being erased accidentally, use a screwdriver, etc., to press on the tabs and break them off.
• To record on a cassette tape whose tabs have been broken off, cover the holes with cellophane tape, etc.

Accidental erasure protection tab for side A

Cleaning the Heads

A commercially available head cleaning cassette (wet type) is required to clean the heads (recording/ playback and erasing) on this product.

• If the heads are dirty, sound cannot be recorded or played with good quality.
  To take full advantage of this product's performance and to achieve good sound quality, clean the heads periodically after approximately 10 hours of use.
• We recommend using a wet type commercially available head cleaning cassette that also cleans the pinch roller and capstan.

Degaussing the Heads

• The heads become magnetized after extended use or after being exposed to magnetized objects. This results in noise or a loss of high frequencies.
• Use a commercially available cassette type head degausser to demagnetize the heads.

NOTE:

• Set the amplifier's volume to the minimum when cleaning and degaussing the heads.

• When the DRR-M33 is used in a system with the RCD-M33/M35DAB, it can be operated with the system remote control unit included with the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB).
• The illustration used in the operation description is for the system control unit (RC-999) supplied with the RCD-M33/M35DAB.
  ■ When system connections are made, all the remote control signals are received at the RCD-M33/M35DAB's remote sensor.
  The buttons on the remote control unit function in the same way as the corresponding buttons on the set. (Refer to "PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS" on page 6.)
  For instructions on operating the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB), refer to the respective operating instructions.
  The system function signals for operating the components in the D-M33 series are all output from the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB). Thus, when making system connections, be sure to connect the CD receiver (RCD-M33/M35DAB).

OTHER INFORMATION

Cleaning the Heads

• If the cassette deck's head are dirty, tapes cannot be played or recorded with good sound quality.
• To take full advantage of all the performance this cassette deck has to offer and ensure good quality sound, clean the heads periodically after approximately 10 hours of use, using a commercially available cleaning cassette.

NOTE:

• Some commercially available cleaning cassettes are highly abrasive and may damage the heads. Avoid using such cleaning cassettes.

Demagnetizing the Heads

• The heads become magnetized after they have been used for an extended period of time or if they are exposed to a magnetic object. This results in noise or a loss of the treble sound.
• If the heads are magnetized, use a commercially available cassette-type head demagnetizer to demagnetize them.
