1. USER PRECAUTIONS Avoid installing the unit near heaters, as well as locations exposed to direct sunlight as this may discolor or deform the unit's exterior. Avoid using the unit in humid or dusty locations. Also, do not block air exhaust vents located on the top and side panels to prevent equipment failures.
2. CASSETTE TAPES Your tape player automatically detects the type of tape you are using, without having to switch a tape selector in accordance with the type of tape. The following three different cassette tapes are usable: (1) Normal tape (2) Chrome tape (3) Metal tape The C-120 tapes (120 minutes' recording time for both sides) and...

4.4. Speaker Connections [BA-806] Low-impedance speakers (4 to 16 OUTPUT When connecting two or more speakers, make sure that the total speaker impedance is greater than 4 .. (If two speakers are connected in parallel, the total impedance is 4 ). High-impedance speakers have to be connected to the 70V or 25V terminal.
Use speakers with permissible input of over 30W. Note that if the power exceeding the permissible input is applied to the speaker, the speaker may be damaged. 4.6. Timer Connections [BA-800, BA-806 and BA-823] Connect the rear-mounted terminals to the timer's no-voltage contacts.
Play begins, and the tape travel indicator (TAPE 1 or TAPE 2) lights. Adjust the tape volume control. (BA-806/BA-823) Adjust the BA-800's monaural line output volume control to an appropriate level in advance when using the BA-800's mono line output.
ON before inserting the tape. (2) Adjust the tape volume to an appropriate level in advance. (BA-806/BA-823) When using a timer to activate the BA-800, adjust the monaural line output volume control to an appropriate level in advance.
(6) Microphone Announcements [BA-806 and BA-823] Connect a microphone to the microphone input terminal located on the rear panel. Set the power switch to ON, and confirm that the power indicator lights. Adjust the microphone volume control. Making an announcement during tape play triggers an internal microphone-activated muting circuit, and the tape output volume automatically decreases by approximately 20dB.
[Note]: (1) Side A of the tape mentioned above refers to the side to play first. Therefore, it is not the same as that which is shown on the tape. (2) Be sure to set the link switch to OFF when using a BA-800 (BA-806 or BA-823) individually. If set to ON, the tape stops after TAPE 2 playback is finished.
Playback order of an expanded system When the BA-800 (BA-806 or BA-823) is expanded using a BA-800 unit, play begins with TAPE 1 (TAPE 2 if TAPE 1 is not loaded with a tape) of the unit of which play button follows depending on the track sequence selection switch setting.
6.2. Operation of an Expanded System Follow the procedures below to operate the BA-806 expanded by using two BA-800 units. (The operation is quite similar to that which is required when using two BA-800 units to expand the BA-800, BA-806 or BA-823.) (1) Playback Operation Set all power switches to ON.
(3) Be sure to set the power switch of all connected BA-800 units to ON. If a certain unit has its power switch set to OFF, the tape stops at that unit, making continuous play impossible any longer.
[Note]: Connect all the timer stop input terminals to each other. Otherwise, the tape may not stop. Timer Connection Example No-voltage make contact of program timer, etc. 2nd BA-800 for expansion 1st BA-800 for expansion Connect all the timer stop input terminals.
You can still use other cassette player unit unless its tape travel indicator is flashing. For cassette player unit (CU-800) replacement, refer to p.27. 8. "BLANK SKIP" FUNCTION [BA-800, BA-806 and BA-823] Your tape player comes with a Blank Skip function. If an unrecorded section in the tape lasts for ten seconds or more during playback, the tape is automatically sent forward at top speed to skip the unrecorded section to re-start playback from the top of a next piece of music.
800's life is approximately 2,000 hours, which can be made 4,000 hours (500 days for 8 hours per day) by using two units alternately. Whenever possible, attempt to use both units of the BA-800, BA-806 or BA-823 to make overall unit life longer. If the unit is used for more than 1,000 hours and the sound quality deteriorates, replace it with a new unit.
If you think that there is a failure, refer first to the following checklist. - Is the BA-800, BA-806 or BA-823 properly connected to the speaker and other components ? - Is the power cord securely plugged in the power outlet ?
