manual abstract
/Check that DOLBY NR setting is the same as when the tape was recorded. /The tape deck is placed near a TV or VCR. Move the tape deck away from the TV or VCR. The tape stops before the tape has been fully rewound. /The tape is slack. Take up the tape slack. /If “MEMORY” is shown in the display, press MEMORY repeatedly until “MEMORY” disappears. /The cassette shell is bent. Use another cassette. The Multi-AMS function does not work properly. /One of the tracks contains a long pause, a passage of low frequencies or very low volume, or a gradual increase or decreace in volume. /The space before a track is less than 4 seconds long. Insert a blank space of 4 seconds using REC MUTE R. /The signal strength of the left and right channels are very different. /There is noise in the space before a track. /You pressed )(or 0) immediately before the beginning of the next track or immediately after the beginning of the current track. The tape deck fast-forwards the tape while a track is playing. /The tape deck’s Blank Skip function is on and silent or low-volume portions are skipped. Press BLANK SKIP to turn off “BLANK SKIP” in the display. The Dolby NR function does not work during playback. /The Pitch Control function is on and the frequency characteristics of the sound is altered. Press PITCH CONTROL ON/OFF to turn off the function. There is excessively loud tape transport noise during fast- forwarding or rewinding. /This noise is caused by the cassette and is not a mechanical problem. ¤OPEN/CLOSE does not work. /The tape deck is recording. Press pto stop recording before pressing ¤OPEN/CLOSE. /There has been a power failure or the power cord has been disconnected during tape operation. Reconnect the power.

Additional Information Additional Information Glossary ATS Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current according to the type of tape inserted in the deck. Automatic calibration The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording level for the inserted tape. This adjustment works together with the deck’s ATS (Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best possible recording results on any tape. Dolby HX PRO system A system that reduces distortion and noise in high-frequency response during recording. A tape recorded with this system produces the same high-quality sound even when played on other tape decks. Dolby NR (noise reduction) system A system that eliminates tape hiss noise by boosting low-level signals in the high- frequency range during recording, then lowering them during playback. There are four types of systems: A, B, C and S. Type A is for professional use (not available on your tape deck), and types B, C and S are for consumer use. Type S has the maximum noise reduction capability, followed by types C and B. Memory backup function A fun...
