2Thank you for your purchase of the ONKYO K-185X Cassette Tape Deck. Please read this manual thoroughly before making connections and plugging in the AC power cord. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum performance and maximum listening enjoyment from your new K-185X. Please retain this manual for future reference.FeatureseAdvanced Two-Mode CD Dubbing with Peak Search When connected to Onkyo's CR-185X/CHR-185X CD Receiver, one touch of either the Album or Fade buttons not only starts CD-to-tape dubbing, it searches out the highest peaks on a CD and sets the ideal recording level. During Album dubbing, sophisticated circuitry checks the length of the last song against the remaining tape. If the entire song won't fit, recording will start from the song's beginning on side B. With Fade dubbing, the last song will fade out on side A and start again on side B. eDolby HX Pro Headroom Extension Dolby HX Pro extends the dynamic headroom to capture the wider musical dynamics of CDs and other digital sources. It provides noticeably cleaner reproduction of those crucial higher frequencies by improving the tapes's ability to capture high-level signals without saturation. Another plus is the tapes you record with Dolby HX Pro can be played back on decks without Dolby HX Pro, for improved sound perfor- mance. eDolby B/C Noise Reduction You'll have no trouble making life-like, super-quiet record- ings. Dolby B removes high-frequency hiss, while Dolby C works over a wider range for cleaner, more faithful dubs. eAutomatic Recording-Level Control eOne-Touch CD Synchronized Recording eAuto Reverse eRugged Transport System eFull-Logic Controls eOne-Touch On and Play ez (Remote Interactive) System Compatible¥ The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated Òdangerous voltageÓ within the productÕs enclosure that may be of sufficient magni- tude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. ¥ The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.WARNINGÒTO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.ÓCAUTIONÒTO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

31. Warranty Claim You can find the serial number on the rear panel of the unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number. 2. Recording Copyright Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder. 3. Deck Location ¥ Do not use or leave in direct sunlight or in other places subject to high temperature and humidity. The unit should also not be left in potentially hot places such as near heating appliances. Excessive heat and moisture can lead to internal damage and serious malfunctions (this also applies to cassette tapes). The recommended ambient temperature range is 5ûC to 35ûC. ¥ Avoid damp and dusty places and locations prone to vibra- tions. ¥ Be extremely careful with the recording/playback heads. Clean and demagnetize them regularly, but under no circum- stances should magnets or other metals be used anywhere near the heads. ¥ This unit is extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, so do not use near large speakers or other devices which generate magnetic fields. ¥ Hum may even be induced by magnetic flux leakage from the power transformer in certain amplifiers. Therefore, this unit should also be kept clear of the amplifier. ¥ Do not remove the cabinet case. If any of the internal parts are handled, there is a considerable danger of electric shock. 4. Cassettes to Avoid: ¥ Cassettes with poorly formed cases that rattle during rewind and fast forward. ¥ Low cost cassettes with no guide roller or pressure pad spring should never be used for stereo. ¥ C-120 cassettes Ñ because the tape and the coating are extremely thin, distortion levels are high. Also, even a slight stretching of the tape will make it susceptible to being caught up in the pinch roller and capstan. ¥ Endless tapes, if used for a long period of time, can overheat. 5. Power WARNING BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CARE- FULLY. ¥ The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC230V 50Hz or AC120V 60Hz) written on the rear panel. ¥ Voltage Selector (Rear Panel) Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to conform with local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the power supply in your area before plugging in the unit. Models without a voltage selector can only be used in areas where the power supply voltage is the same as that of the unit.PrecautionsImportant safeguardsPORTABLE CART WARNINGS3125A1.
