button.
When distortion or the absence of high frequencies is
noticeable while playing a tape recorded on another
cassette deck, compensate the high frequency response
with the PLAY TRIM control.
Note: Precision of counter
The tape counter is not a clock, and so there will be some
errors in the time display compared to the actual playing
time (this cannot be avoided, as a suitable method is
adopted to provide a time display not only during recording
and playback, but also during fast forward and rewind).
The error depends on the type of tape being used.

DOLBY NR button setting (in step 2)
Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of
reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit
incorporates both Dolby B NR and the newer Dolby C NR
system. Dolby C NR is approximately twice as effective as
the earlier Dolby B NR.
FM stations transmit a 19 kHz pilot signal in addition to the
broadcast program. Sometimes this pilot signal may leak
into the audio output depending on the tuner and broadcast
conditions. This signal can cause improper operation of the
Dolby NR systems. Activating the MPX filter (B TYPE/C
TYPE MPX ON settings) will effectively remove the signal.
Each time this button is pressed, Dolby NR switches as

¶ Auto tape tuning may not function with a tape of poor
quality. In this case, the tape stops and the TAPE
TUNING indicator does not light up.
VARIOUS FUNCTIONS HELPFUL FOR
HIGH QUALITY RECORDING
¶ The adjusted recording characteristics are not cancelled
as long as the TAPE TUNING indicator is lit. When you
no longer need this adjustment, press the AUTO TAPE
TUNING button in rec pause mode or stop mode. The
TAPE TUNING indicator goes out.
This adjustment is also cancelled when the ) button is
pressed.
Note
When loading a tape of different brand even if whose tape
types are the same, perform the auto tape tuning
operation again even when the TAPE TUNING indicator
lights up.
This deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which
automatically adjusts the recording characteristics according
to the tape formulation (see page 12) and a Dolby HX Pro
Dynamic Bias Servo System which automatically controls
the effective bias during recording. In addition to these
functions, you can refine your recordings by using the Auto
Tape Tuning function, which adjusts the recording bias and
sensitivity for each tape you use.
Auto tape tuning function
The auto tape tuning function improves the quality of
recording, permitting precise adjustment of the deck's
recording bias and sensitivity for best results with every tape
you use.
With the auto tape tuning function, the recording
characteristics (recording bias and sensitivity) are
automatically adjusted in two frequency ranges (500 Hz and
10 kHz) while performing recording and playback operations
simultaneously for about 20 seconds, to accurately match
the characteristics of the loaded tape.
For example, the recorded (output) level (A in the figure)
may differ from the recording (input) level (B in the figure),
due to widely varying characteristics between brands of
cassette tapes.
Using the auto tape tuning function, these differences are
effectively eliminated by adjusting the recording bias (for
high frequencies) and sensitivity (for overall frequencies)
according to the loaded cassette tape, making a significant
contribution to overall recording quality (C in the figure).
DOLBY HX PRO DYNAMIC BIAS SERVO SYSTEM
This unit incorporates the Dolby HX Pro system which
automatically controls the effective bias to reduce
distortion and noise, improving high frequency
response during recording. Tapes recorded with this
system retain the same high quality even when played
back on other cassette decks.

CASSETTE TAPES
CASSETTE TAPES
PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS
There are many different types of cassette tapes available.
However, they all conform to standard specifications so any
brand may be used with the deck.
All cassette tapes are provided with erasure protection holes
to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents. There is
a small tab covering the hole on each side of the cassette,
and it should be broken off after recording on the tape.
Without this tab covering the hole, it is impossible to record
onto that tape. Thus, you can safely protect a recording for
as long as you wish without fear of accidental erasure.
Should you wish to use a cassette tape protected in this way
for recording, simply covering the hole with adhesive tape
will permit erasure and re-recording.
¶ Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation
Cassette tapes are available in four basic types depending
on their formulation, or type of magnetic material and
manufacturing process. These four types are commonly
known as Normal (Type I/NORM), Chrome (Type II/HIGH
<CrO2>), Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr), and Metal (Type IV/
METAL), and they each require specific tape deck
adjustments for optimum performance.
* YAMAHA does not recommend the use of 120-minute
length cassettes since the extreme thinness of the tape
makes them susceptible to mechanical and recording
problems.
¶ When using Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) or Metal
(Type IV/METAL) tapes, make sure you do not cover the
hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation.
AUTO TAPE SELECTOR DETECTION SLOTS
The deck has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which
automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level and
equalization according to the tape formulation — all you
have to do is to load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector
does the rest.
The Auto Tape Selector determines what type of tape is
loaded by sensing detector slots on top of the tape shell.
Each tape formulation has its own characteristic hole
markings standardized by the tape industry.
¶ Early model Metal (Type IV/METAL) tape formulation
cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape
Selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type
tapes recorded on another deck will be played back with
the deck at the Chrome (Type II/HIGH <CrO2>) settings.
YAMAHA does not recommend recording with this kind of
tape.
¶ The deck does not have the required setting for
Ferrichrome (Type III/FeCr) tape, since this tape
formulation is not widely used. Should you use a
Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back at
the Normal (Type I/NORM) settings, which will result in an
unnatural high frequency emphasis. This effect may be
compensated for somewhat with the auto tape tuning
operation or by using the PLAY TRIM tone control and/or
the tone controls of your amplifier/receiver during
playback.
TAKING UP SLACK IN THE TAPE
As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage,
remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes into
the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil, pen or
similar object into one of the spools and gently winding it
until all the slack is removed. You do not have to wind it too
tightly.
Be careful not to touch the tape part itself. It is very delicate
and touching it may damage the tape and its recorded
contents.
TYPE II
TYPE IV
Detector slots
Detector slots
STORING CASSETTES
After putting a cassette tape back into its case, store it in a
location away from exposure to direct sunlight, humidity,
high temperatures, and magnetic fields (away from television
sets, speakers, etc.). High temperatures and humidity will
damage the tape itself, while exposure to magnetic fields
may cause a loss of recorded material. Avoid touching the
tape surface with your fingers, since dirt or finger oil will
contaminate the deck’s heads.

MAINTENANCE
DEMAGNETIZATION
CLEANING OF THE TAPE PATH
After 20-30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will
build up on the heads to cause poor high frequency
reproduction. At this time you should use a commercially
available head demagnetizer.
¶ When demagnetizing the heads, be sure to follow the
instructions of the head demagnetizer carefully.
Continued high quality performance of your deck is
dependent upon periodic cleaning of the heads, capstan,
pinch roller, and all surfaces over which the tape travels.
Normal use will cause an accumulation of dirt and dust on
the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers. This can lead to
poor sound quality, drop outs (intervals with no sound),
unsteady tape speed, loss of high frequency response, etc.
Thus, clean the heads and all surfaces over which the tape
travels with a commercially available cleaning cassette.
