manual abstract
Classical music CDs and others often have tracks that exceed the recording time of a single cassette side. In this case, record the tape manually. z When recording from the middle of the tape A tape that is inserted and has not been played or recorded on is assumed by the deck to be a new tape, even if the present location is in the middle of the tape. The deck will transport the tape for 10 seconds before starting CD Synchro-Recording to bypass the portion corresponding with the leader. To begin CD Synchro- Recording without the ten-seconds delay, play or record on the tape for a few seconds before starting the CD Synchro-Recording procedure. z If the tape ends during CD Synchro-Recording on the front side of the tape (alights up) and DIRECTION MODE is set to aor RELAY Recording of the track ends immediately, the tape direction is reversed, and recording starts again from the beginning of the track. If the tape ends on the reverse side of the tape (» lights up), CD Synchro- Recording stops and the CD player stops playing. Notes • To prevent interruption of the recording process, do not press any operation buttons on the CD player during CD Synchro-Recording. • Certain operation buttons on the tape deck are disabled during CD Synchro-Recording.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. On power sources • Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the tape deck. • If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time, be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. • AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On operation • Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed, if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder. • Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may be damaged. On placement • Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck. • Do not place the tape deck: — on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom. — in a location near heat sources. — in a place subject to direct sunlight. — in an inclined position. — in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock. On cleaning the tape deck Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Notes on Cassette Tapes To protect a recording on side A or B Break out the respective tab. Side A Tab for side B Tab for side A To record on a tape with a missing record-protect tab Cover the respective tab hole with adhesive tape. When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not to cover the detector slots that the deck uses to determine the tape type. Type II Type IV Detector slots Detector slots On tapes longer than 90 minutes We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90 minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback. They are very thin and tend to stretch easily. On handling cassettes • To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty, avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette. • Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such as speakers and amplifiers, which may cause tape distortion or erase the recordings. • Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperature, or moisture.
