WARNING:

Thank you for purchasing the K-5

To cope with the advent of metal particle tape which
permits an unprecidented high level of recording, the K-5
is provided with exclusive "METAL" positions, enabling
you to ensure real high fidelity reproduction with wide
dynamic range and superb S/N ratio. A pure Sendust
record and playback head is employed to handle the latest
fine metal tape, which makes it possible not only to offer
good frequency response and wear chracteristics but to
provide outstanding sound quality in combination with
a DC amp in the playback circuit. For use of fine metal
tape, a specially designed large erase head is provided
having high erasure Capability.

In addition to the 3-point bias selector switch, the bias
fine adjuster is provided, which makes it possible to obtain
the optimum bias point for the cassette tape you use.

Highly reliable mechanical key operation, VU level
meter, rec mute function, etc., are featured, which contri-
bute to make pleasant recording/playback of cassette tape.

We recommend that you choose other Hi~Fi components
to be used in combination with care and go through the
contents of this owners manual to make the most of the
potential of the K-5.
