Installation / Connection

AC Llno

We recommend that you connect the AC
cord only to the UNSWITCHED outlet of your
receiver/amplifier or directly to a wall
socket. (Fig. A)

CAUTION: Never leave the cassette deck
in the record or play mode with the AC
power off. To do so leaves the pinch rollers
engaged which will lead to gradual
degradation of wow and flutter.

Audlo GIN

Two stereo audio cables are supplied with
your cassette deck. The cable ends are
color coded (red & black) RCA type
connectors to facilitate proper right and left

channel connections. It is a good practice to
always use red for right and black for left.
This will avoid any future confusion.

LINE OUT jacks (Q) to your receiver/
amplifier jacks labelled TAPE IN. TAPE

BEFORE OPERATING

Enema

When you are making a recording, material
previously recorded is automatically erased.
Only the new recording will remain.

To erase an existing recording without
making a new one, record in a normal
manner with the RECORD LEVEL control
(0) fully counterclockwise. This erases
previous material, leaving a blank tape.

A much faster and better method is to use
a high quality bulk tape eraser. Follow the
manufacturers' instructions for use

Safeguard: Agalnct Accidental Erasure
To insure that a recording is not accidentally
erased, break out the small tab(s) in the rear
of the cassette with a small screwdriver or
similar tool. When looking at the side you
wish to saleguard. the corresponding tab is
to the upper left. With the tab(s) broken out,
you will not be able to place the deck in the
record mode (Fig. 8). If you should wish to
re-record on a cassette whose tab(s) have
been removed. cover the corresponding
