CASSETTE OPERATION
This set has 2 tape decks. Deck A is a playback only deck and Deck B is a record and
playback deck. You may make recordings only on Deck B. All of the tape buttons
(except the Cassette Pause Button and Cassette Stop/Eject Button) operate in the
same fashion. To activate a feature, you press the button all the way down so that it
stays in its depressed position when you release it. To deactivate the feature, press
the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
FAST FORWARD AND REWIND
For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the Cassette Fast Forward Button or
Cassette Rewind Button.
PAUSE
The Cassette Pause Button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is
temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running while the Pause Button is
depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.
AUTOMATIC STOP
This set has a built-in automatic stop feature and the tape mechanism will stop playing
or recording and shut itself off when it has reached the end of the tape.
MANUAL STOP
The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject
Button.
CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a direct effect on
the performance of this set.
Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily
become entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes
will run at uneven speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
Use only well-known brands of tapes.
Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme
thinness of this tape may result in breakage or other failures.
•
•
This set is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure
to use name brand normal cassette tapes. You may use the above (special)
tapes, but the best sound quality is from normal bias tapes.
•
CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING
Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with
previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in
the recording process, providing the Record Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For
more information on these tabs, see PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST
ERASURE on page 17.
12
E
CD-160S050699 V.2
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used,
the sound during playback may become “muffled” or, in extreme cases, almost
inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a
deposit of oxide and other dirt on the tape heads.
The easiest way to solve this problem is by using
a
head-cleaning
cassette. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner carefully.
The tape head is a delicate precision component and serious damage will result
if you attempt to scrape dirt away with a sharp tool.
2. Other common causes of trouble are:
(a)Tapes jamming - leading to uneven speed during playback.
(b)Tapes tangling - where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the
mechanism.
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the following
precautions:
(1)Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center
window (see FIG. 1). Tighten these loose layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set (see FIG. 2).
(2)If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation as shown in FIG. 2, the
tape may be jamming due to “ridges” in the winding of the tape (visible through
the center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding the
cassette from one end to the other and back again, or the tape may be permanently
damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this may cause your set to
break.
FIG. 1
FIG. 2
NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE
TAPES
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic field, such
as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may
reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the
recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of time
in a hot, moist or dusty place.

We suggest using a special cleaning tape cassette (not included) (available in most
music and Hi-Fi stores). But if you do not have one, you may follow the instructions
below.
COTTON SWAB
CAPSTAN
ERASE HEAD
RECORD / PLAYBACK HEAD
PINCH ROLLER
When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled,
distorted or reduced sound during playback and may even result in tape jams.
Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with
commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10
seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.
HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SET
AM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite
station by rotating the set a small amount.
FM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite
station by collapsing the telescoping antenna a small amount, rotating or extending it to
its full length.
RECORD BUTTON - If you find that you cannot press this button down, check the
Record Lever Interlock defeat tabs on the cassette (see page 17), or the tape may
have reached the end, rewind the tape or reverse it.

cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi stores) to remove the particles of brown
oxide coating from the tapes that collected on these heads. These particles fill the gap
in the heads and degrade performance.
