Notes:

1. 120-minute cassette tape

Since a 120-minute cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

1. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.

■ Cleaning the head section

Cleaning the heads and peripheral components

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep the head (recording/playback/erase), capstan and pinch roller clean. To clean them, perform the following.

1. Open the cassette holder.
2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head (recording/playback/erase), capstan and pinch roller carefully.

Demagnetizing the head

When the recording/playback head is magnetized, the sound quality will be deteriorated. In such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head eraser).

Note:

There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides.

When cleaning, pay special attention so as not to apply shock to them.

■ Beware of condensation

When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold material, water drops are produced.

If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly.

This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried. (To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Be especially careful in the following conditions.

• When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place, and there is a large temperature difference.
• When a heater starts operating.
• When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of high temperature with high humidity.
• When there is a large difference between the internal temperature of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where condensation occurs easily.

Dolby noise reduction system

The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated during play back. The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a different type NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used for both recording and playback.

Dolby B NR:

The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.

Dolby C NR:

Dolby C NR offers improved noise reduction performance over that of the Dolby B NR. It features a superior noise reduction effect. Use Dolby C NR to record or playback with this unit.

It is recommended that tapes recorded with the Dolby NR system be marked "B" or "C", so that they can easily be distinguished.

STAND BY mode of POWER key

When the power cord of this system is plugged into an AC outlet, the STAND BY indicator lights up regardless of the ON/OFF setting of the POWER key. This indicates that a small amount of current is being supplied to the unit to back up the memory contents and support the timer function. This mode is referred to as the Stand By mode. While the STAND BY indicator is lit, the power of the system can be switched ON/OFF from the remote control unit.

Strömbrytarens POWER beredskapsläge

Indikatorn STAND BY tänds efter nätkabelns anslutning till ett vägguttag, oavsett strömbrytarens POWER till/frånslag. Detta anger att en liten mängd ström leds till komponenten som stöd för minnesinnehållet och också för att skydda de inställningar, som lagrats i minnet, för timerstyrda funktioner mot radering. Detta läge kallas för beredskapsläget. Strömbrytaren på fjärrkontrollen kan användas för att slå på och av strömmen så länge indikatorn STAND BY lyser.

Virtanäppäimen (POWER) valmiustila (STAND BY)

Kun laitteen verkkojohto on liitetty pistorasiaan, valmiustilan merkkivalo syttyy riippumatta virtanäppäimen (POWER) asennosta (ON/OFF). Merkkivalo osoittaa, että laitteessa on hieman virtaa muistin sisältöjen ja ajastintoiminnon ylläpitoa varten. Tätä tilaa kutsutaan valmiustilaksi. Kun valmiustilan merkkivalo (STAND BY) palaa, laitteen virta voidaan kytkeä ja katkaista kaukosäätimellä.

Afbrydertastens (POWER) STAND BY funktion

Når apparatets strømledning er tilsluttet en stikkontakt, lyser STAND BY indikatoren, uanset om der er tændt ved afbryderen på apparatet eller ej. Det angiver, at apparatet bliver forsynet med en ganske lille mængde strøm til opret-holdelse af hukommelsens indhold og til timeren. Denne funktion kaldes STAND BY. Når STAND BY indikatoren er tændt, kan strømmen til apparatet slås til og fra med fjernsty-ringsenheden.

PÅ/AV-knappens Stand-by funksjon

Når strømledningen til dette anlegget er satt i en vekselstrømskontakt, vil STAND-BY indikatorlampen lyse enten PÅ/AV-knappen er på- eller avslått. Dette betyr at en viss mengde strøm tilføres anlegget slik at innholdet i minnet samt timerfunksjonen ikke går tapt. Denne funksjonen kalles Stand-by. Når indikatorlampen for STAND-BY er tent, kan strømmen slås PÅ/AV fra fjernkontrollen.

Make connections as shown below. When connecting the related system components, refer also to the instruction manuals of the related components.

The CCRS (Computer-controlled CD Recording System) makes the following convenient recordings possible by setting the optimum tape recording level and recording bias for the specific CD to be recorded and starting recording automatically. (Please also refer to the instruction manual of the CD player.)

Fade-out edit recording (FADE) ......Tracks are recorded in sequence starting with the first track on the CD. When the deck approaches the end of first side of the tape in the middle of a tune, the tune is faded out, the tape direction is reversed, and recording continues on the opposite side.

Erase edit recording (ERASE)......If the end of the first side of the tape is reached in the middle of a tune, the incomplete tune is erased from the first side and recorded again from the beginning on the reverse side.

Cross-fade edit recording (CROSS)...Recording is carried out by fading out the end of each tune and fading in the beginning of the next tune so that there is no break between tunes.

Normal edit recording (EDIT)......By designating the length of the tape, the tracks on the CD are automatically edited to fit within the designated recording time to prevent tunes from being cut off at the end of the tape. Up to 20 tunes can be edited and recorded.

AI edit recording (AI EDIT) ......When recording a CD that is longer than the length of your tape, this function fades out each tune so that all of the tunes can be recorded on one tape.

Multi-disc edit recording ......Tunes from several CDs can be edited and recorded on a single tape. The fade-out and cross-fade edit recording functions can be used.

CCRS high-speed recording ......The CD is recorded at twice the normal speed. A graphic equalizer can also be used in double-speed mode. Dolby NR recording is not possible.

CCRS recording is possible only when the KENWOOD DP-940 CD player is connected using a system control cord.

CCRS (Computer-controlled CD Recording System)

When the CCRS key is pressed, the following operations occur automatically and recording of CD starts after them.

1. The CD is played and its peak level is sampled from the disc recording level.
2. The optimum tape recording level for that disc is determined from the sampled peak level and the cassette deck is set accordingly.
3. The cassette deck sets automatically the optimum bias for the tape used in recording.
4. The recording preparations detailed above are completed in about 90 seconds, after which actual recording starts.
5. When the recording is completed (when the CD player ends playback or when the tape has been recorded), both the cassette deck and CD player enter the stop mode.
6. When a graphic equalizer (optional) is connected and used during CCRS recording, the equalizer should be set between steps 1 and 2 in each of the edit recording procedures.
7. The set recording level and Auto Bias level are maintained while the CCRS and AUTO BIAS indicators are lit.
8. The recording level is canceled when the CD player's ▲ key is pressed, the Auto Bias level is canceled when Deck B's EJECT key is pressed, and both levels are canceled when the power is turned off.

Fade-in/Fade-out

Fade-in refers to the gradual volume increase from a small level to the normal level used in beginning of music, and fade-out refers to the gradual volume decrease from the normal level to a small level used in ending of music.

CCRS high-speed recording

In this mode, recording is carried out while the CD player and cassette deck run at twice their normal speeds. Recording time is cut to about half the normally required recording time. At this time, however, since the CD sound is played at twice the normal speed and pitch, you cannot enjoy the music while it is being recorded even if you monitor the sound from the speakers. When using the effect of the graphic equalizer during high-speed recording, be sure to select one of the preset equalizer patterns R1-R5. (GE-940, GE-540)

In double-speed recording, tunes are recorded onto the tape without DOLBY NR effect. So playback the tape without DOLBY NR effect.

■ Fade-out edit recording (FADE)

The music is faded out and faded back in at the point where the tape reverses direction.

1 Prepare Deck B for recording.

Notes:

1. When the CCRS key is pressed during CD Playback, the playback is stopped and CCRS setting operation starts.
2. Once the recording level has been set by the CCRS, it cannot be adjusted as long as the CCRS operation continues.
3. The CCRS searches the peak level on a CD in a limited period of about 60 seconds. Therefore, it could happen that the optimum level cannot be adjusted, though it is a very rare case.
4. If the length of a track on the CD is extremely long such as with a classical music, the CCRS cannot be used because the music cannot be fit in one side of tape. In such a case, the CD should be recorded referring to "Synchro recording of CD playback".
