Operation Notes
Operating the Unit
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--
-- - -
Always keep the cassette holder closed.
If
it is lett open, dust will accumulate
in the
mechanism and cause
tape
playback or recording performance
to
deteriorate.
Do not touch
the
inside of the cassette
holder.
If the unit is not used for extended periods, remove
the cassette tape.
The top of
the
deck will become hot during use, but
this is perfectly normal.
When carrying or storing the unit, take care not to
subject it to any severe shocks.
When storing
or transporting the
unit,
be
sure
also
to remove
the
cassette tape.
Condensation-
In winter, moisture
droplets
may
form
on the window panes
of
a
heated room.
This phenomenon
is called condensation
.
Condensa
tion
may occur with
thiS unit
or with cassette
tape
in
the
following
situations
:
-In
a room
where
a
heater
has just been
turned
on
-In
a room
where
steam or excessive
moisture
are present
_When
the
unit
is
transfered from
a cold place
to
a
warm
room
-When
the unit
is
directly in the
path
of
co
ld air
Irom an air
conditioner,
etc.
In
such cases,
the unit
will not operate correctly, and even
if
it
does
operate,
the tape may be damaged
,
In particular,
if
mo
is
ture
condenses on
the
rotating
heads, the tape
will
stick
This
will prevent
the tape lrom
running properly, and might
cause damage
to
the tape or recording
head.
If Condensation Occurs:
To
protect the
tape
,
this
unit
contains a built-In
device
so
that
when
condensation
occurs,
theCE]
indicator
on
the
display panel
flashes.
While
the~indi
ca
tor
is
flashing,
apart from the OPEN/CLOSE
function, buttons on
the unit
will not operate.
Keep the volume of the amplifier low.
With OAT (Digital
Audio Taperecorder)
cassettes, there is much
less
noise
than
with compact cassettes and a wider dynamic range.
There
wilt be a sudden
burst
of sound when
the music
starts, and as
this may damage the
spea
kers,
due care should be
taken
.
Be
especially careful when
using
headphones.
"'
Dynamic Range
Dynamic
range
means the
diHerence
between the lowest
sound level
and
highest
sound level, and is expressed in decibels (dB).
The
greater
this
diHerence,
the
more
dyn
amic
the recording.

indicator
If a cassette
tape
is
loaded
in
the unit, remove
it and leave
the
power
switched on.
Wait
until
the
indicator goes
out.
The
time required
for
moisture
to evaporate will
vary according
to the
environment, but
it
may
be 60 minutes or
longer
if humidity is high. Condensation
usually
sets
in
gradually,
so the
indicator may not flash
lor the first
10-
15
minutes
If room
temperature
or humidity changes abruptly,
therefore,
wait for about
20
minutes before
switching on the
power to
check that
the indicator
is
not flashing
.
Unloading Function

If
2
hours time
elapses when the
unit
is in
the
stop, pause or
record
standby
modes,
the cassette
tape will be released
automatically
from
the rotating
mechanism
.
Recording of Program Numbers
---
- - - - -
-
In
automatic or manual
recording
of program
numbers,
a start
10
of 9
seconds duration is
recorded each time
a
program
number
is
recorded
.
Some
compact discs have
a very
short interval
between
tunes
.
Even
in
these
cases,
however,
if your
CD player has an
auto
space
function, the space
between
tunes
can
be
set automatically so
that
program numbers are entered
correctly
during recording.
