Press if the tape was recorded by the type-C Dolby NR system. (The type-C Dolby noise- reduction indicator will then illuminate.) About the Dolby noise-reduction recording/playback system The Dolby noise-reduction system is a system designed to effectively reduce the annoying high-frequency “hissing” noise typically heard from tapes if this system is not used. During recording, the system functions to increase the level of the high-freguency part of the sound, and then, during playback, that same portion is weakened and returned to the previous level. This unit includes two types of Dolby noise-reduction systems, the Dolby B-type and C-type. i Dolby B-type noise-reduction system Noise is reduced to about one-third. Use this system when playing back tapes recorded by the Dolby noise-reduction system, such as prerecorded music tapes, etc. Dolby C-type noise-reduction system Noise is reduced to about one-tenth. Use this system for the recording and playback of sound sources that have a wide dynamic range and good tone quality, such as FM broadcasts of live performances, etc., and for playing back such tapes.

Metal tape Detection holes To assure good sound quality for recording and playback, be sure to clean the heads after approximately every 10 hours of use. 1} Press the power switch to switch OFF the power supply. 2) Press the eject button. 3) Clean the heads, pinch roller and the capstan shaft of each deck with a cotton swab (or with a soft, lint-free cloth) slightly moistened with alcohol. Do not use any solution other than alcohol for head cleaning. Capstan ———— Cotton swab Pinch roller —— —— Pinch roller Heads A ~———Capstan If the tape in the cassette is loose, the tape can easily break during use or otherwise be damaged. Never touch the tape itself, or attempt to pull it out of the cassette, Use a pencil or similar object to take up the slack. Tape can be damaged if it is stored in places such as described below. * Where the temperature is high (95° F/35°C or higher) or where the humidity is high (80% or higher). Where there is a strong magnetic field (near a speaker, on top of a TV, etc.). e In direct sunlight, In order to maintain good sound quality during recording and playback, it is recommended that the heads should be demagnetized if distortion or poor sound quality persist after cleaning the heads. | If the heads become magnetized, they could create noise in recordings, loss of high-frequency response, or erasure of valuable recordings. Several types ôf head demagnetizers are available and may be purchased at local electronics supply stores. Follow the instructions that are supplied with the device. Do not bring any type of metal objects or tools such as magnetic screwdrivers in contact with the head assembly. To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth. For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth in a weak soap-and-water solution and wring well. After cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine, or a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may damage the unit's finish. Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice.

When listening to stereo sound, the sound lacks depth (Le. thin bass, tinny sound). One of the speakers is connected out of phase [(+)—= (=) (=) (+)] e Reconnect the speakers maintaining proper polarity is correct [i.e., (+)— (+), (~)—{-=)]. When listening to stereo sound, the left and right sounds are reversed. The left and right speaker connections, source connections, or graphic egualizer connections are reversed, 9 Check all connections and correct them if necessary, A low-pitehed nolse (“hum” or “buzz”) is heard. The power cord or a fluorescent light, etc. is near the connection wires, ° Try separating this unit as far as possible from the electric appliance. Sound is not heard from one of the speaker systems, The speaker wires are disconnected. e Check and correct the connections of the speaker wires, The balance control is set too far to one side. e Set so that sounds are heard at the center, between the speaker systems. Sound steps during a performance, or ne sound ls heard when the power is switched ON. The protection circuitry has functioned because the positive and negative speaker connection wires are “shorted” or speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used. e Switch OFF the power, and, after determining and correcting the cause, switch ON the power once again, e Use speaker systems of the proper impedance rating.
