IMPORTANT:
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually
listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound modes and/or the
Signal Adaptive Bass effect through the speakers or
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these
effects (see page 11).
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I and II tapes for recording.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect
unexpected erasure or re-recording.
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected
tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
When using type II tape, be
careful not to cover the holes
used to detect the tape type.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks
become dirty, the following will occur:
• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
To demagnetize the heads
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at
electronics and record shops).
