PANEL FACILITIES
REVERSE MODE SWITCH
(REV MODE)
There
are three
settings:
One way mode z
position
When
the switch
is set to this
position,
playback
or recording
is
performed
on one side of the tape
only.
When
the tape
reaches
the end of the side,
it stops automatically
(auto
stop function).
Two way mode _-_ position
When
the switch
is set to this position,
playback
or recording
can
be performed
on both sides
of the tape.
When
the tape
reaches
the end
of the first
(forward)
side,
its direction
is automatically
reversed,
and
playback
or
recording
continues
on
the
other
(reverse)
side. When
it reaches
the end
of the reverse
side,
the
tape
stops
automatically
(auto
stop
function).
If playback
or re-
cording
is started
from
the reverse
side, the tape will stop when
it
reaches
the end
of that side.
Repeat
modec--=-_ position
(RELAY/SKIP)
When
the switch
is set to this position
for playback,
both sides of
the tape
are played
back
repeatedly
until the stop
(i)
button
is
pressed,
or until the tape has been played
completely
15 times
(16
sides).
If Deck
I and
II are
loaded
with
tapes,
each
tape
will
be
played
15 times
using relay playback
and then both decks will stop
automatically.
If the pause
button
is pressed
to pause
the tape,
and then
playback
is restarted,
the repeat
mode
starts
over
from
the beginning,
and will
play the tape
15 times
(16 sides).
When
the switch
is set to this
position
for recording,
both sides
are recorded
and then the tape stops,
as described
above
for the
two way
mode.
If Deck I and II are loaded
with tapes,
relay recording
is used when
the recording
starts
with Deck L
OPERATION
OF DECK I WITH A REMOTE
CONTROL
UNIT NOT DESIGNED
FOR
DOUBLE
DECKS (system
remote
control)
(Except
for CT-W803RS)
Selecting
DECK I
In order
to operate
DECK I with the remote
control
unit, adjust
the
unit as follows:
With
the power
off, press
and
hold the stop
(i)
button
of DECK I, and turn the power
on. Continue
to hold the stop
(11) button
for approximately
five
seconds.
DECK
I can
now
be
operated
using the remote
control
unit, but DECK I! cannot.
Switching
to DECK II
To restore
remote
control
operation
to DECK II, press the stop (e)
button
of DECK II while
DECK II is in stop mode.
DECK II can now
be operated
using the remote
control
unit. Remote
control
oper-
ation can be switched
back and forth
between
decks by pressing
the stop button
of the desired
DECK while
it is in stop mode.
NO TE:
If a power
failure
or a sudden
change
in the power
supply
(caused
by lightning,
etc.) occurs,
the unit is reset
to its original
state.
Only
DECK II can be operated
by remote
control
To restore
operation
to
either
deck, repeat
the above
procedure
from
the beginning.
I AUTO
BLE
.....

With commercially
available cassette tapes, sensitivity and fre-
quency characteristics
might differ slightly from one another,
even though the same sound adjustment is set for them. To utilize
tape characteristics to the maximum possible and realize an ideal
recording which reproduces the source exactly, optimum record-
ing level (sensitivity) and equalizer values must be set accordingly
for each tape. In many conventional tape decks, standard values
are fixed for standard tapes, thus nullifying the subtle differences
between individual tapes. Perfect tuning by ear through use of
fine adjustment controllers for bias and sensitivity is difficult and
requires a lot of effort. It is especially difficult with a 2-head deck
where the recording sound cannot be monitored.
The AUTO BLE on this unit automatically adjusts bias, level and
equalizer by using a microprocessor to set the optimum recording
characteristics accordingly for each tape.
I FLEX (1If) SYSTEM
I
•
FLEX System: Frequency Level Expander System
This system automatically
compensates
high and low fre-
quency level balance above 1 kHz according to the 1/f curve
during playback.
Generally, envelope line of sound energy distribution of Hi-Fi
sounds corresponds statistically with the 1/f curve.
The 1If curve indicates that if the frequency doubles the level
decreases by approx, half of the original frequency level.
•
During playback, the FLEX system automatically compensates
tapes with poor sound quality at high frequency levels of 1 kHz
and over based on the appropriate auditory characteristics.
The FLEX system is designed to improve high frequency repro-
duction in the 10 kHz range be up to 12 dB, particularly
in tapes
with poor sound clarity and sound presence at high frequency
levels. If the playback tape sound matches the 1/f curve, the
FLEX system defeats compensation adjustment automatically.
•
When you press the FLEX button to turn the FLEX system on
and start playback, the 1/f indicator flash and compensation
adjustment begins.
Compensation
adjustment takes within approximately
3 sec-
onds to complete, depending on the music source. The indica-
tor change from a flashing to a steadily lit condition.
•
When the FLEX system is engaged, each music selection is
automatically
adjusted during playback.
System
operation
status is indicated by whether the 1/f indicator is lit.
Even when the FLEX system is turned on, the 1/f indicator is
nullified automatically during all recording functions including:
AUTO BLE tuning, CDeDECK synchro recording, and tape copy-
ing.
NO TE:
•
When a tape has been recorded at a high frequency level above
the compensation level, the FLEX system operation is automati-
cally defeated during playback.
