Handling the cassette tape
Notes on cassette tape
To store cassette tapes
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished, break the safety
tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or
recorded on accidentally.
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct
sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the
cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
For A side
For B side
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel
hub to remove the slack.
Apply tape only to the position
where the tab has been removed.
To re-record
1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very
thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut.
It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this
unit to prevent possible damage.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism
of the unit.

4. The CCRS function sets the peak level for the entire CD in approx. 20~200 seconds. On very rare occasions, however, the function may
not be able to set the optimum recording level. If this occurs, carry out recording manually referring to the “Normal recording” section.
^
5. The CCRS recording level setting is canceled when the open/close key of the CD player is pressed or when the power is switched OFF.
6. With CD players equipped with the EDIT function, it is possible to make recordings in which the last songs on sides A and B are not cut
off in the middle and in which the recording capacity of the tape is used to the fullest extent. (Set the REV.MODE key of the deck to “[”.)

Dolby noise reduction system
Dolby noise reduction system
The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated during playback.
The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a different type
NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used for both recording and playback.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.
Dolby C NR
Dolby C NR offers improved noise reduction performance over that of the Dolby B NR. It features a superior noise reduction effect, use Dolby C NR
to record or playback with this unit.
It is recommended that tapes recorded with the Dolby NR system be marked “B” or “C”, so that they can easily be distinguished.
$
DPSS (Direct Program Search System)
The DPSS detects non-recorded blanks of 4 seconds or more between music and enables the following four types of simple playback operations
according to the instructions given by pressing operation keys. (It is not possible to perform DPSS operations simultaneously on the two decks.)
1. Skip play
: By specifying a tune located several tunes beyond (or behind) the tune being played, skips tunes between the current tune
and the selected tune and starts playback from the beginning of the selected tune. Up to 16 tunes can be skipped in Skip
Search.
2. Single-tune repeated
playback
: One single tune is played back repeatedly up to 16 times.

Recording with Dolby HX Pro
What is Dolby HX Pro?
In ordinary recording using high-frequency biasing, the high-frequency bias current, which should be constant, is increased with some recording
sources due to the high-frequency component contained in the music, etc. This increase affects the recording characteristics with distorted high
frequencies and degraded dynamic range and frequency response.
The Dolby HX Pro circuit detects the high-frequency component contained in the music source being recorded, and reduces excessive bias current
to make it constant. As a result, the recording characteristics of high frequencies are drastically improved, and the improved high-frequency
reproduction can also be enjoyed even when the tape is played on tape decks which are not equipped with circuit.
^
Auto-bias function
The auto-bias function automatically adjusts the tape's bias value to ensure optimum recording performance with each and every tape.
