Adjustment

of

the

recording

level

To

adjust

the

recording

level

on

ordinary

tape

decks,

the

level

is

adjusted

so

that

the

indication

needles

of

the

level

meters

fluctuate

at

a

point

as

near

to

(but

below)

the

“0”

point

as

possible.

Because

this

unit

has

a

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch,

however,

the

adjust-

ment

of

the

recording

level

can

be

made

as

described

below

for

best

results.

1.

Adjustment

of

the

recording

level

by

using

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-

CHECK

switch

-

@

Set

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

to

the

“OUT”

position,

and

adjustso

that

the

indication

needles

do

not

fluctuate

beyond

the

“O

dB”

point.

,

@

Next,

set

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

to

the

“IN”

posi-

tion.

Then,

at

a

time

when

the

music

is

pulsating

and

such

rhythm

is

reaching

its

peak,

set

the

MICROPHONE

LEVEL

controls

or

LINE

INPUT

LEVEL

controls

to

a

position

which

will

restrain

the

needles

from

moving

beyond

the

“+6

dB”

point

(referring

to

the

“PEAK

IN’

portion

of

the

meters).

By

so

doing,

the

recording

can

be

made

without

distortion.

@®

Occasionally,

set

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

to

the

“OUT”

position

and

confirm

that

the

needles

do

not

move

beyond

the

“O

dB”

point

of

the

upper

part

of

the

meters.

2.

Difference

of

indication

needle

movement

caused

by

setting

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

to

the

“IN”

and

‘‘OUT”

positions

Because

the

response

to

sound

signals

by

indication

needles

of

ordinary

level

meters

is

slow,

the

actual

level

of

momentary

signals

is

not

accurately

indicated

by

such

meters.

This

means,

of

course,

that

there

is

always

the

possibility

that

recordings

may

be

distorted

by

large

signals

which

are

momentary.

The

peak

level/VU

meters

of

this

unit

include

a

special

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

which,

when

set

to

the

“IN”

position,

results

in

the

indication

by

the

meters

of

the

level

of

sounds,

even

momentary

sounds,

with

extremely

precise

accuracy.

The

peak

indica-

tions

which

should

be

read

in

the

following

way:

With

the

set

to

the

“IN”

position,

the

scale

is

read

up

to

the

+6

dB

mark

on

the

lower

part

of

the

meters.

With

the

PEAK-SIGNAL-CHECK

switch

set

MONITORING

“Monitoring’’

means

to

listen,

using

headphones,

to

the

sound

being

recorded

at

the

same

time

it

is

being

recorded.

This

is

very

convenient

for

actual

aural

confirmation

of

the

material

being

recorded.

To

monitor,

connect

stereo

headphones

(89)

to

the

HEADPHONES

jack

(HEADPHONES).

Note:

fn

the

same

way

as

for

playback,

an

amplifier

can

also

be

used

for

monitoring.

Note,

however,

if

the

recording

is

being

made

via

a

con-

nection

made

tothe

RECORDING/PLAYBACK

connection

socket,

that

monitoring

can

be

done

only

with

headphones.

HOW

TO

USE

THE

PAUSE

BUTTON

The

PAUSE

button

is

Furthermore,

although

a

time

constant

of

1204S

has

previously

been

used

in

tape

this

unit

uses

a

time

constant

of

7O0uS

in

order

to

obtain

much

better

are

used,

the

DOLBY

RECORDING

HINTS

This

unit

includes

the

Dolby

noise-reduction

system,

which

reduces

tape

noise

to

a

remarkable

degree.

To

briefly

describe

the

way

the

Dolby

system

operates,

at

low

signal

levels

(where

tape

noise

is

most

noticeable),

it

increases

the

level

of

the

high-frequency

portion

of

the

sound

and

then

records

the

sound.

Then,

during

playback,

by

reducing

the

level

of

only

that

portion

which

was

increased

at

the

time

of

recording,

the

tape

noise

can

be

reduced

by

that

same

amount.

elf

Dolby

recordings

are

made

under

conditions

in

which

the

record-

ing

sensitivity

varies,

or

in

which

the

frequency

response

is

not

flat,

the

Dolby

system

cannot

function

with

sufficient

efficiency.

When,

forexample,

recording

sensitivity

is

high,

the

treble

range

will

be

overemphasized.

And,

if

frequency

response

is

poor,

it

will

be-

come

even

further

deteriorated.

It

is

important,

therefore,

that

the

selection

of

the

setting

of

the

TAPE

selector,

and

the

choice

of

the

tape

to

be

used,

be

made

with

deliberate

care.

e

if,

when

a

tape

is

recorded

by

the

Dolby

system,

a

memorandum

is

written

on

the

cassette,

accidental

playback

in

the

ordinary

(non-

Dolby)

way

can

be

avoided.

MEMORY

REWIND

The

Memory

Rewind

system

can

be

used

to

conveniently

return

the

tape

automatically,

during

rewind,

to

any

desired

position.

Convenient

uses

of

the

Memory

Rewind

system

1.

To

return

to

the

beginning

of

a

recording

and

play

it

back

immedia-

tely

after

making

the

recording.

2.

To

repeatedly

begin

playback

many

times

from

the

of

the

tape

counter.

Notes:

1.

Tape

movement

will

stop

immediately

as

soon

as

the

TAPE

counter

shows

any

number

from

900

to

999

during

rewind

if

the

MEMORY-REWIND

switch

is

on.

Be

sure

that

the

MEMORY-

REWIND

switch

is

off

at

all

times

unless

it

is

being

used

for

position

to

the

“ON”

position

during

rewinding

of

the

tape

and

the

TAPE

counter

shows

any

number

from

900

to

999.

4.

lf

the

PAUSE

button

is

pushed

during

the

Memory

Rewind

operation

(or

was

already

pushed

before

the

Memory

Rewind

operation

began),

the

PAUSE

will

be

automatically

released

when

the

TAPE

counter

reaches

999,

the

tape

will

not

stop

at

the

previously

selected

part

of

the

tape,

and

will

continue

rewinding

until

its

end

is

reached,

at

which

time

the

automatic-

stop

system

will

function.

AUTOMATIC-STOP

SYSTEM

This

unit

has

an

automatic-stop

system

which,

when

the

tape

comes

to

its

end

during

recording,

playback,

fast

forward

or

rewind,

releases

the

tape-transport

mechanism

automatically

and

places

the

unit

in

the

stop

mode.

The

advantages

of

this

automatic-stop

system

are:

*

Because

the

mechanism

automatically

stops

when

the

tape

comes

to

its

end,

both

the

operating

parts

and

the

tape

itself

are

protected.

(This

is

free

from

problems

such

as

pressure

rolle

deformation

resulting

from

leaving

the

unit

in

the

stop

condition—w

ithout

push-

ing

the

STOP

button—for

a

long

period

of

time.)

FOUR-TRACK,

TWO-CHANNEL

RECORDING

SYSTEM

The

recording

is

always

made

on

the

lower

half

of

the

tape

width.

Two-way

recordings

can

be

made

in

the

following

way,

Tracks

1

anc

2

are

recorded

first,

and,

when

the

tape

reaches

its

end,

turn

the

cassette

over

and

re-insert

it.

Record

in

the

same

mamer

as

The

other

two

tracks

will

then

be

recorded.

(Although

this

cassette

stereo

tape

deck

has

the

4-tracks

ystem,

tracks

1

and

2,

or

tracks

3

and

4,

cannot

be

separately

recoded.)

ERASING

When

recording,

any

previously-recorded

material

on

the

tape

Is

erased

automatically.

To

erase

an

existing

recording.

All

previous

recordings

are

completely

erased

as

the

cassette

runs

from

beginning

to

end

on

each

side.

MAINTENANCE

(Refer

to

fig.

4.)

The

head

assembly,

the

capstan

and

the

pressure

roller

are

always

in

contact

with

the

tape

during

operation.

Therefore,

they

tend

to

get

dirty

very

easily

and

have

an

adverse

influence

upon

the

sound

quality

and

the

level.

Dirt

can

cause

sound

loss,

noise

and

deterioration

of

the

frequency

characteristics.

Therefore

it

is

occasionally

necessary

to

clean

these

parts

as

follows.

HM
