CROSS-FIELD HEAD RECORDING SYSTEM
On conventional recorders, the signal and bias are applied to the same recording head. Therefore, the frequencies recorded, especially high frequency signals, tend to be attenuated or erased by the effect of the bias field.
With the exclusive AKAI CROSS-FIELD HEAD, however, the signal and bias heads are mounted separately in opposition with each other with their centers slightly off. As the recorded signal is entirely unaffected by the prevailing effect of the bias field, tape can be recorded over the entire frequency spectrum with maximum fidelity even at low tape speed.

VOLTAGE & CYCLE CONVERSION
VOLTAGE
Your machine is equipped with a universal voltage selector offering six selections of voltage from 100 V to 240 V AC for use anywhere in the world. Voltage is preset at the factory according to destination. Please confirm setting prior to operation and if readjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect power cord and remove the Fuse Post by turning in direction of arrow.
- Remove the Voltage Selector Plug and resinsert so that proper area voltage is shown through the plug cut-out.
- Change fuse to correspond with voltage and tighten the Fuse Post. 100 V to 120 V: 2 A 125 V fuse; 200 V to 240 V: 1 A 250 V fuse.
• To maintain optimum performance and prolong the life of your machine, it is important that the line voltage be held within a 10% deviation of standard area voltage.
CYCLE
Correct tape speed cannot be obtained if the Cycle Conversion Switches are not properly positioned. Cycle Conversion Switch (A) is located on the upper center of the face panel and (B) is located at the rear of the machine. Using a screw driver, rotate Cycle Conversion Switch (A) counter-clockwise approximately one-eighth of a turn. The switch can then be moved to either in or out. The switch must be rotated back to its original position after being reset. Cycle Conversion Switch (B) must be set accordingly. Loosen screw and set to 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Tighten screw.
* Do not attempt to rotate the Cycle Conversion Switches when the motor is not running.
TAPE LOADING
Place a full reel of tape on the Supply Reel Table and an empty reel on the Tape-Up Reel Table. Thread the tape as illustrated by the dotted lines in the figure. Lock reels into place with Reel Retainers provided on reel shafts.

TAPE SPEED SELECTION & EQUALIZER
This model operates on three tape speeds: 7-1/2 ips (19 cm/sec), 3-3/4 ips (9.5 cm/sec) and 1-7/8 ips (4.75 cm/sec). Use the Tape Speed Selector for selection of tape speed. A Tape Speed Equalizer is also provided for equalization of the amplifier to correspond with the tape speed. The setting of the equalizer must always correspond with that of the Tape Speed Selector. Recording time using a 1800 ft. tape is: (4-track stereo) 6 hours (1-7/8 ips), 3 hours (3-3/4 ips) and 1.5 hours (7-1/2 ips); (4-track monaural) 12 hours (1-7/8 ips), 6 hours (3-3/4 ips) and 3 hours (7-1/2 ips).
FAST FORWARD & REWIND
For rapid forwarding of the tape set Fast Forward/Rewind Lever to F.FWD position, and for rapid rewinding of the tape set to RWD position. This lever cannot be operated while the Playback/Record Lever is in operation.
AUTOMATIC STOP & SHUT-OFF
The Automatic Stop & Shut-Off functions are also outstanding features of the unit. For automatic stop (to stop reel movement at end of tape), set the Automatic Stop/Shut-Off Switch to STOP position, and for automatic shut-off (to cut off power of the entire unit at end of tape), set to SHUT-OFF position. CEE models are not equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism.
PAUSE CONTROL
To momentarily stop the tape during recording or playback, set Pause Lever to pause position. Pause control is useful in editing tape during recording, or to adjust input level. To release depress the Start Button.
* Pause control does not function during fast forward or rewind mode.
MONITORING
For monitoring, connect stereo headphones to Headphone Jack. Use stereo headphones of low (8 Ω) impedance. Akai model ASE-22 or ASE-20 is highly recommended.
4-TRACK RECORDING/PLAYBACK SYSTEM
This model employs a 4-track system which can be used for either stereo or monaural. Select desired track(s) with the Track Selector.
STEREO RECORDING & PLAYBACK

Stereo recording and playback requires the simultaneous use of two tracks. For stereo operation, set Track Selector to STEREO position. The first stereo playback and recording takes place on tracks 1 and 3. The second playback takes place on tracks 2 and 4, after the machine has been set to reverse mode or the reels have been inverted. To record on tracks 2 and 4, invert reels.
MONAURAL RECORDING & PLAYBACK

Fig. 12
Monaural recording and playback track sequence is 1-4-3-2. Set Track Selector to 1-4. The first monaural recording and playback takes place on track 1, and the second on track 4 after the reels have been inverted. Invert reels and set Track Selector to 3-2. The third monaural recording and playback takes place on track 3, and the fourth on track 2 after the reels have been inverted.
This model does not record in reverse direction. For reverse playback, use sensing tape for automatic reverse or the Reverse Button provided on the front panel for manual reverse, or invert reels.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Your machine is constructed of the very finest materials and with proper care will bring you many years of musical enjoyment. We therefore urge you to read the following instructions carefully prior to operation.
• The use of new tapes will result in the best recordings.
* As tape which has not been used for a period of time may have become sticky, run tape one before using.
- Operate machine on a flat horizontal surface in either horizontal or vertical position.
The conditions listed below do not indicate mechanical failure of your unit. If any of these conditions are exhibited, check for trouble as indicated.
Loss of sensitivity and tone quality may be due to :
* Dirty erase head. This prevents pre-recorded materials from being completely erased.
* Dust on recording/playback head. See Head Cleaning procedure.
* Magnetized head. See Head Demagnetizing procedure.
* AC power voltage lower than the voltage to which your machine is set.
Irregularity in tape transport may be due to :
* Improperly loaded tape.
* Grime adhering to the heads.
* Oil on capstan.
• Sticky or dirty tape surface.
* Bent take-up reel.
If your machine will not record, check the following for correct position :
* Input plugs and connections.
* Controls.
The following notes are provided for your convenience.
* Should there be a problem with your machine, please write down model and serial number and all pertinent data regarding warranty coverage, etc., and also as clear a description as possible of the existing trouble and contact your nearest authorized Akai Service Station or the Service Dept. of Akai Company, Tokyo, Japan.
* Your machine requires constant voltage for optimum performance.
* If the sound sources are so far from the microphones that the recording level controls must be turned to maximum, some hum or noise will inevitably be recorded. In such an instance, a test recording is recommended before attempting a final recording.

RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER
If an external amplifier or tuner amplifier is used, connect the recording outputs of the external amplifier to the Line Inputs instead of Step E of recording procedure. This model will record any source which can be selected on the external source.
RECORDING FROM ANOTHER TAPE RECORDER (Tape Dubbing)
Connect the line output jacks of the playback machine to the Line Inputs of this model instead of step E of recording procedure.
RECORDING FROM A RECORD PLAYER
To record from a stereo or monaural disc, a crystal pick-up (0.5 V to 1 V) or a ceramic pick-up can be connected directly to the Line Input Jacks instead of step E of recording procedure. If a magnetic cartridge is used, it must be connected to the Line Input Jacks through an external amplifier.
DIN JACK
The Din Jack at the rear of the unit is for inter-connecting this model with an external stereo amplifier. This system enables easy recording or playback through an external amplifier as the complex connection or disconnection of 4 separate plugs is not necessary. When recording from an external amplifier, if the output level of your amplifier is more than 60 mV, set the High/Low Input Switch to HIGH position, and if the output level is less than 60 mV, set to LOW position.
TAPE SPLICING & EDITING
Cut tape diagonally with an overlap so that the ends are lined up (cutting tape on diagonal eliminates detection of the splice in recording). Cover aligned ends with splicing tape. Press firmly exerting pressure to secure ends evenly. Trim off excess splicing tape, cutting into tape very slightly. This eliminates the possibility of a sticky splice. For smooth and easy splicing, we recommend Akai's portable Tape Splicer AS-3.
TAPE ERASING
Any signal information previously recorded on a tape will be erased automatically as a new recording is made on the same tape. For erasing only, thread the tape and set recorder to normal recording mode. No plugs should be connected to the input jacks. Akai Model ATE-7 Tape Eraser is recommended for complete tape erasure.

HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dust and magnetic particles on the heads results in poor head-to-tape contact and deteriorates sound quality and sensitivity. It is, therefore, recommended that the heads be cleaned every time you use your recorder. Remove the Head Cover and with a stiff cotton swab dipped in cleaning fluid (Akai Head Cleaning Kit HC-500 is highly recommended) rub the entire head surface (do not scratch) until all tape oxide and dust are removed. The capstan shaft, tape lifter and other parts over which the tape travels should also be cleaned.
* Do not use chlorothane as it will damage the rubber wheel.
HEAD DEMAGNETIZING
Normally, the steel pole pieces which form part of the recording and playback head become slightly magnetized. The effect of magnetization will cause considerable drop out or introduce noise into your recordings. It is recommended that head demagnetization be performed periodically. This can be accomplished with a bulk demagnetizer by bringing it close to the heads and making several small circular motions over all head surface areas as well as the head housing.
* Be sure to cut off the power of the unit, prior to demagnetizing the heads.
* Both prongs of the demagnetizer should be covered with masking tape to prevent the heads from being scratched.
* Do not use magnetized tools in the vicinity of the heads.
* Read the demagnetizer's instructions carefully before operation.
