Before You Start Recording on a Tape
•
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 level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the
sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the speakers or
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the TV.
• You can use only type I tapes for recording.
To protect your recordings
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected
erasure or recording.
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive
tape.
The use of the C-120 or longer tape is not recommended, since
characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams
in the pinch rollers and the capstans.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
You need to clean the heads.
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with
a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and audio
shops).
When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will
occur:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or
magnetic tools.
To demagnetize the head
Turn off (on standby) the unit, and use a head demagnetizer
(available at electronics and audio shops).
At the start and end of cassette tapes
There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when
recording discs, MDs, or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to
ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.
