Places with bad ventilation or high humidity

Very dusty locations

• To enable good heat dissipation, do not place anything on top of the unit.

• Do not place this unit on top of a power amplifier or other device that generates heat.

• The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage that is printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

• Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
• When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.

ATTENTION

Do not turn the unit off or disconnect the power cord during operation, including playback and recording.

Doing so could cause the tape to become stuck, for example.

Beware of condensation

Condensation could occur if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place, it is used immediately after a cold room has been heated or it is otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature change. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using it.

Before use (continued)

Maintenance

Wipe dirt from the top cover and other panel surfaces using a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with a diluted neutral cleanser.

Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface.

For your safety, disconnect the power cord from the outlet before cleaning.

Cleaning the cassette decks

If a head becomes dirty, the recording and playback sound quality will become worse and cause skipping. Dirt on the tape tracking roller could also cause the tape to become caught, for example.

Types of cassette tapes that can be used for recording by this unit

Normal (type I), Chrome (type II)

- TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 in this unit detect tape types separately, so different types of tapes can be used at the same time.

Precautions for use

• Do not open a cassette or pull out the tape.
• Do not touch the tape surface.

Storage precautions

• Keep cassette tapes away from magnets or magnetized items because they may cause noise or erase recorded contents.
• Do not leave cassette tapes in a dusty place.
• Do not store cassette tapes in areas with high temperatures and humidity.

Types of cassette tapes that should be avoided

The following types of cassette tapes might prevent the unit from operating or functioning normally. These types of cassette tapes could cause tape to become caught and other unexpected problems.

Deformed cassette tapes

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

Tapes that allow recording for 90 minutes or longer sometimes get caught by the capstan because they are extremely thin and stretch easily. Do not use them in this unit. In the worst case, the cassette tape could become stuck in the unit.

Endless cassette tapes

Never use this type of cassette because its tape could become caught. In the worst case, the cassette tape could become stuck in the unit.

Tape slackening

Confirm that the tape in the cassette is not slack before use.

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 cassettes 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.

Playback modes

Use the PLAY MODE switch to activate the special playback mode that uses the double cassette feature.

NORMAL

This is the ordinary playback mode. Activity switches to TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 in response to playback operation, and the playback sound is output from the LINE OUT and the headphone connectors.

The same sound is output from the LINE OUT and the headphone connectors.

SPECIAL

This is a special playback mode using the double cassette deck.

If one tape is playing back, recording or paused, that state will continue and its sound will be output from the LINE OUT connectors when playback of the other tape is started. The playback sound of the second tape will only be output from the headphones (monitoring playback). Using this mode, you can cue a second tape while playing or recording another.

To output the cued audio from the LINE OUT connectors, press the stop (■) button to stop tape cueing.

And then, press the stop (■) button for the tape that continued audio output from the LINE OUT connectors to stop it, and start playback/recording of the cued tape to output its sound from the LINE OUT connectors.

- During monitoring playback, the playPLAYicator blinks.

- When monitoring playback is paused, the pause (Ⅲ) indicator blinks.

- When TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 are both stopped, they will be output from the LINE OUT connectors when playback and recording starts.

- Noise reduction is not applied to the sound output from the headphone connector during monitoring playback.

Automatic power saving function
