Technical specifications ........... Back cover

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-

fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit

itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

1. Power Source--The unit should be connected to power supply

only of the type described in the operating instructions or as

marked on the unit.

2. Polarization--If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will

fit into the AC outlet only ORe way. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection--AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or

cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when

connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods--When the unit is not used, turn the power off.

When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be

unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Installation

Environment

Outdoor Antenna Grounding--If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re-

spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size

of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See figure below.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-

chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-

ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-

ation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound

come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or

distortion--and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun

and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often unde-

tectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Indus-

tries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you

avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound lev-

els* is included for your protection.

*The level used here is different from that displayed on the system's

display.

Decibel

hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can

actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BE-

FORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

oStart your volume control at a low setting.

Level

Example

Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two

feet.

oSIowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

oSet the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or

loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CON-

STANT EXPOSURE

Broadcast frequency

When you preset a broadcast station to a channel that has already

been preset, the previous presetting will be erased. So if, for exam-

ple, FM frequencies are preset from channel 1 to 39 and then AM

frequencies are preset, the first AM frequency will be preset to

channel 21 (thus erasing the FM presetting of channel 21), the

second AM frequency will be preset to 22 (erasing FM 22), and so

on.

About the TUNER/BAND indicator:

While listening to radio broadcasts: Lights in green.

While listening to compact discs or tapes: Lights in orange.

Preset memory contents maintenance:

The contents of the memory will continue to be stored for approxi-

mately 2 weeks, even if the power supply cord is disconnected.

Correct presetting may not be possible in cases where the broadcast

waves are too strong or too weak. In such cases, carry out presetting

manually. (See next page.)

If the reverse side (<3) of the tape is playing:

The reverse operation will take place.

High-speed rewind/fast-forward:

On this unit, if there is less tape on the take-up side than on the

supp}y side (refer to the illustration below) at the time that 4<1 or

I_b,. is pressed, the speed of the rewind/fast-forward operation will

automatically be increased for approximately 1.5 times the normal

speed. This function makes it possible to wind the tape faster when

there is a large amount of tape to be wound.

Tape

Take up side

;upply side

• When there is more tape on the take up side than on the supply

side, the tape will be wound at the normal speed.

olf high speed winding is begun from a state in which the tape is

partly wound, such as that shown in the illustration above (for

example, when the ratio of tape between the two sides is 1:3), high

speed winding will continue until the ratio between the two sides

reaches 3:1, and then the remaining winding will be done at the

normal speed.

For your reference:

You can fast forward or rewind the tape while you are playing or

recording a tape in another deck. Press DECK 1/2 to switch to the

non playing deck, and then press 4<1 or IH_.

After above operation, be sure to press DECK 1/2 to select the deck

in which you are playing a tape.

About Dolby Noise Reduction system

Using Dolby NR reduces tape hiss in the high-frequency range. It

boosts the level of the high-frequency during recording, and lowers it

by the same amount during playback, simultaneously reducing high-

frequency interference incurred during the recording process.

This system has the Dolby B-type of noise-reduction system. With

Dolby B NR, the noise is reduced by 10 dB at high frequencies. If you

are playing a tape that was recorded with Dolby NR, use Dolby NR

during playback for best results.

Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from Dolby

Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

"DOLBY" and the double-D symbol 1313are trademarks of

Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

There are 2 ways to record from compact discs, one-touch editing

and synchro-recording. See below for the information.

Use this procedure

Tape allotment

The system calculates the length of the tape used, and safeguards against a break in the continuity of sound

when the recording changes from one side of the tape to the other. (except for LAST FADE mode)

Editing of all tracks in their original

sequence (ALBUM)

If the system determines it is possible to record one more track on

side A, the cassette deck rewinds the tape side A and the first track

assigned on the tape side B will be recorded on the tape side A.

Up to 24 tracks can be edited.

Allotting tracks to the tape without

wasting tape space (J.FIT)

If the amount of blank space is too great, the cassette deck rewinds

to the tape end and the compact disc player selects a track which is

the most appropriate fit for the end of tape side A.

Up to 24 tracks can be edited.

Closing up the tape-end unrecorded

sections (LAST FADE)

At the end of side A of the tape, a track that cannot be recorded

completely will be faded out, and then rcorded from the begining of

side "B". During recording, silent gaps of approximately 4 seconds

are automatically inserted between tracks (auto space function).

You can edit as many tracks as you like using this mode.

You can edit the desired tracks of the desired discs using the

program play procedure. (See "Program edit-recording" on page 36.)

Linking up several discs (LINK)

After the edit-recording of a loaded disc has finished, you can

subsequently edit-record another disc on the remaining blank

portion of the tape.

This function is convenient when recording from 3" (8 cm) compact

discs successively.

You can use the link function (ALBUM, J.FIT, or LAST FADE) after

the edit recording has finished.

Selection of cassette tapes

You can use normal, chrome, and metal tapes for recording:

oThe deck automatically identifies the kind of tape loaded, and sets

the bias (for recording) and equalization accordingly.

oThe deck automatically sets the recording level.

Cassette tapes exceeding 90 minutes:

These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording time but

be careful about repeatedly stopping and starting, rewinding and fast

forwarding these tapes in short intervals as they are thin, tend to

stretch and may become entangled in the deck mechanism.

Do not use the Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE lll) in this system:

If you use this tape, it is impossible to obtain the required flat

frequency response.

If the tape loosens, take up the slack

Tape slack may cause the tape to break.

To prevent erasure of recorded sounds

Remove the erase-prevention tabs with a screwdriver or a similar

object.
